PowKiddy X35H is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by RK3566 (4-core, 2.0 GHz), 1GB LPDDR4X RAM and Mali-G52 2EE GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480, 4:3). 3000 mAh battery and Bluetooth. Runs Linux.

The PowKiddy X35H is built on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC, with four Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz, a Mali-G52 2EE GPU at 850 MHz and 1 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. This setup comfortably covers 8- and 16-bit systems, arcade titles through Final Burn Neo and MAME, Capcom Play System 1 and 2, Neo Geo, Game Boy Advance, SNES and PlayStation. Nintendo 64, PSP and Sega Dreamcast are mostly playable, but not every title runs at full speed, so these platforms mark the realistic ceiling of the device.

The 3.5-inch IPS screen runs at 640 x 480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio, roughly 229 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. The 4:3 format matches most classic consoles naturally, and the OCA-laminated tempered glass cuts down on reflections and gives the front a more premium feel.

The horizontal plastic shell measures 150 x 77 x 24 mm and weighs 181 g. Controls include an upper cross D-pad, four face buttons, symmetric dual analog sticks with L3/R3 and four horizontally arranged shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). Dedicated Power, Reset and volume buttons round out the layout, while brightness is adjusted through the menu.

The battery is rated at 3000 mAh, and charging is handled by either of two USB-C ports placed on the top and bottom. The handheld offers Bluetooth, a top-facing Mini HDMI output for playing on a TV, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and bottom-facing dual stereo speakers.

On the software side, the X35H runs Linux and modding is permitted, so you are free to experiment with alternative firmware. Dual microSD slots let you keep the system and your game library on separate cards. Beyond classic consoles, it also supports PICO-8, TIC-80, ScummVM, OpenBOR, EasyRPG and MS-DOS.

Ideal for: players who want an affordable horizontal retro handheld with a quality 4:3 screen, dual analog sticks and HDMI output, focused on classic systems up to PlayStation with occasional forays into N64, PSP and Dreamcast.
