Helegaly Action Pi 兀 is a gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by A527 (8-core, 2.0 GHz). 5000 mAh battery. WiFi 4, Bluetooth 4.2. Runs Linux.
In practice, this setup runs 3D PlayStation and Nintendo 64 titles at full speed, while Dreamcast and PSP are mostly playable. Sega Saturn is only somewhat playable, so expectations should be realistic there. 8-bit and 16-bit systems, from NES and Game Boy to SNES, Mega Drive and Game Boy Advance, are handled with ease.
The 4.02-inch IPS screen offers a 960 x 720 resolution in a 4:3 aspect ratio, around 298 ppi, at 60 Hz. The 4:3 format naturally suits most classic consoles, and the OCA-laminated tempered glass cuts down on reflections for a crisp picture.
For controls, the Action Pi 兀 provides symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3, a cross D-pad placed up top, 4 face buttons and L1, R1, L2, R2 shoulder buttons in a vertical orientation. The plastic body measures 172 x 82.5 x 30.3 mm and weighs 220 g, with dedicated volume buttons.
The 5000 mAh battery charges through either of two USB-C ports. Connectivity includes WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 4.2, a top-facing Mini HDMI video output, a 3.5mm headphone jack and bottom-facing dual stereo speakers. Internal storage is 16 GB eMMC, expandable via microSD.
The device runs Linux and supports BATOCERA, a popular emulation-focused system, giving tinkerers extra flexibility to customise their setup.
Ideal for: players who want an affordable retro handheld with a sharp 4:3 screen, dual analog sticks and HDMI output for PS1, N64 and a good part of the Dreamcast and PSP libraries.
