Circuit Sword is a gaming handheld launched in 2018. Powered by Allwinner A33 (4-core, 1.3 GHz), 512 MB RAM. Features a 3.2" IPS display (320 x 240). 2000 mAh battery. WiFi 4, Bluetooth 4.0. Runs RetroPie (Linux).
Inside sits the Allwinner A33 processor, with 4 Cortex-A7 cores running at 1.3 GHz, paired with Mali-400 MP2 graphics and 512 MB RAM. It is a modest configuration by today's standards, best suited to classic 8-bit and 16-bit systems, while more demanding platforms will quickly push it to its limits.
The 3.2-inch IPS display runs at 320 x 240 pixels in a 4:3 format, a natural fit for many retro consoles and computers. IPS technology delivers good viewing angles, and the low resolution preserves the authentic look of pixel art graphics.
The vertical form factor recalls classic portable consoles and makes the Circuit Sword a compact device that is easy to hold for short play sessions. Audio comes from a single mono speaker, enough for the chiptune soundtracks typical of vintage games.
The battery has a capacity of 2000 mAh, and connectivity includes WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 4.0, handy for transferring files over the network and pairing wireless accessories. Storage is handled via microSD card, so the game library can be expanded easily.
The operating system is RetroPie, based on Linux, an open platform that allows emulator configuration, interface customization and tinkering, ideal for users who enjoy fine-tuning their device themselves.
Ideal for: fans of 8-bit and 16-bit retro gaming, enthusiasts of vertical handhelds and users who value the flexibility of RetroPie and an open Linux system.
