1UP Pi-Boy XL is a gaming handheld launched in 2019. Powered by BCM2837B0 (4-core, 1.4 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (480 x 320). 9000 mAh battery. WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2. Runs Linux.
At its core is the Broadcom BCM2837B0 SoC, a quad-core Cortex-A53 chip running at 1.4 GHz, paired with a 300 MHz Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU and 1 GB of DDR2 RAM. This hardware handles 8-bit and 16-bit systems with ease, runs SNES Super FX titles and 3D PlayStation games at 60 FPS, and covers arcade emulation through MAME and Final Burn Neo, plus Neo Geo, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Game Boy Advance and many computer platforms. Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS are playable, but can be laggy.
The 3.5-inch IPS display has a 480 x 320 (HVGA) resolution, a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 60 Hz refresh rate, delivering vivid colours and wide viewing angles. An acrylic lens protects the panel, and screen function keys sit alongside it.
The layout places a single analog thumbstick at the top and a d-pad made of separated buttons below it, with six face buttons and rear-facing L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. Front-facing dual stereo speakers stay clear of your hands, while a volume wheel, power switch and dedicated fan switch complete the controls. There is no rumble. At 157 x 99 x 35 mm and 500 g, the plastic body is substantial, and an active cooling system with heatsink, fan and ventilation cutouts keeps temperatures in check.
A 9000 mAh Li-ion battery provides around 4 hours of play and recharges in about 4 hours via Micro USB (5V/2.5A). Connectivity is generous: WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2, Ethernet, three USB ports, HDMI video output and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Games are stored on microSD.
The Pi-Boy XL runs Linux and supports RetroPie, EmuELEC, Lakka and PiOS, with Emulation Station and RetroArch as launchers. Its open, modular Raspberry Pi foundation makes it easy to tweak settings, swap operating systems and tailor the experience.
Ideal for: retro-gaming enthusiasts and tinkerers who want a stable, configurable Raspberry Pi handheld with active cooling, rich connectivity and reliable emulation up to PlayStation.
