Q88 is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2024. Features a 2.8" IPS display (240 x 240, 1:1). 5000 mAh battery. Runs Proprietary.
The 2.8-inch IPS display uses a square 1:1 aspect ratio at 240 x 240 pixels, giving a pixel density of roughly 121 ppi. The panel sits behind tempered glass, a welcome touch at this price point. The square format is unusual among handhelds and gives the device a distinctive look.
On the controls side, the Q88 offers a cross D-pad placed in the upper position, four face buttons, and dedicated power and volume buttons. There are no analog sticks, no shoulder buttons and no rumble. The body is made of metal (aluminum), and at 218 g the device feels solid in the hand.
The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh and charges through the USB-C port, with wireless charging also supported. The USB-C port offers OTG functionality for connecting compatible accessories. Audio comes from a single mono speaker facing right.
Games and files are stored on a microSD card, and the proprietary operating system is paired with a permissive modding policy, leaving room for enthusiasts to customise the experience.
Ideal for: players looking for an inexpensive retro handheld with a metal body and a generous battery for classic games with simple controls, as well as anyone drawn to a compact design with a square screen.
