GamePad Digital GPD G7 is a gaming handheld launched in 2014. Powered by Cortex-A9 (4-core, 1.6 GHz), 1GB RAM and Mali-400 GPU. Features a 7" TFT display (1024x600). 5000 mAh battery. Runs Android 4.2.

The GamePad Digital GPD G7 is a horizontal handheld launched in 2014 and one of the early Android devices built specifically for gaming. At its core sits the Rockchip RK3188 SoC, with four Cortex-A9 cores running between 1.6 and 1.8 GHz, paired with a four-core Mali-400 MP4 GPU clocked at 533 MHz and 1 GB of RAM. The model is now discontinued.

The list of supported platforms is generous: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, PlayStation, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, Sega Saturn and PlayStation Portable. Classic 8- and 16-bit systems are the console's natural territory, while the more demanding platforms push the hardware to its limits, with results depending on the game and the emulator used.

The 7-inch TFT screen with a 1024x600 resolution is large for a portable device and offers plenty of room for both retro games and Android apps. Audio comes through dual stereo speakers.

On the controls side, the GPD G7 offers dual thumbsticks and four face buttons in a classic horizontal layout. Having two analog sticks is a real plus for 3D games and for Android titles that require full analog control.

A 5000 mAh battery powers the device, and connectivity includes Micro-USB, Mini-HDMI and a 3.5mm audio jack. The Mini-HDMI video output lets you hook the console up to a TV or monitor. Internal storage is 8 GB.

The operating system is Android 4.2, an older release, and the modding policy is permissive, leaving room to install emulators, frontends and customizations as you see fit.

Ideal for: collectors of early Android handhelds, classic emulation fans who appreciate a large 7-inch screen, and users who want to connect their handheld to a TV via Mini-HDMI.
