Subor Q400 is a gaming handheld launched in 2020. Powered by RK3128 (4-core, 1.3 GHz), 256 MB RAM. Features a 4" IPS LCD display (800 x 480). 2400 mAh battery. Runs Linux.

The Subor Q400 is a horizontal handheld released in 2020, positioned in the $50–75 budget bracket. Inside sits the Rockchip RK3128 SoC, with four Cortex-A7 cores at 1.3 GHz, a dual-core Mali-400 MP2 GPU at 500 MHz and 256 MB of RAM.

The platform list covers NES, Sega Master System, Game Gear, Genesis / Mega Drive, the whole Game Boy family, SNES, Neo Geo, Capcom Play System 1 and 2, MAME, PlayStation, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 64. SNES Super FX titles and 3D PlayStation games mostly run at 60 FPS, although weak firmware causes occasional lag that the hardware itself should be able to handle. Nintendo 64 remains laggy.

The 4-inch IPS screen has an 800 x 480 resolution, a 5:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and roughly 233 ppi, under a plastic lens. Viewing angles are poor, and screen tearing appears on units ordered from Taobao.

For controls, the Q400 offers a cross D-pad in the lower position, four face buttons, symmetric dual analog sticks with L3/R3 and four horizontal shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). Volume has dedicated buttons, brightness is set through a button combination, and power is handled by a switch. There is no rumble. The plastic body measures 174 x 70 x 13 mm, a slim profile.

The 2400 mAh battery charges over Micro USB. The console includes Mini HDMI video output, a 3.5mm headphone jack, rear-facing dual stereo speakers, four USB-A ports and 64 GB of microSD storage.

The operating system is Linux, running custom firmware that is the device's main weak point; together with the small amount of RAM, it holds back performance on systems the chip could otherwise run without trouble.

Ideal for: budget-minded players who want a slim horizontal handheld with dual analog sticks and HDMI output for 8- and 16-bit games, classic arcade titles and a large share of the PlayStation library.
