ARCHOS GAMEPAD is a horizontal gaming handheld. Powered by the Rockchip RK3066 with 1 GB RAM. Runs Android 4.1.

The ARCHOS GAMEPAD is a horizontal handheld built around the Android platform, designed for players who prefer physical controls over a touch-only experience. Inside sits the Rockchip RK3066, a dual-core Cortex-A9 chip running at 1.6 GHz, paired with Mali-400 MP4 graphics and 1 GB of RAM.

This setup is best suited to Android games of its generation and to emulating older, less demanding systems. The 1 GB of memory and the Cortex-A9 architecture set clear limits, so the GAMEPAD is a device for classics rather than demanding platforms.

The 7-inch screen with a 1024 x 600 resolution offers a generous viewing area for a handheld, making it easy to follow the action without hunching over the device. The wide format is a good fit for Android titles.

On the controls side, the console features dual analog sticks, a cross-shaped D-pad and L1 and R1 shoulder buttons. The dual analog layout is a real advantage for 3D games and titles that need precise camera control. At 330 g, the device stays light for its screen size.

The battery has a 3000 mAh capacity, and wireless connectivity comes via WiFi 4, enough for downloading games and browsing. The 8 GB of internal storage can be expanded with a microSD card of up to 64 GB, handy for larger game and ROM libraries.

The operating system is Android 4.1, which opens the door to a broad ecosystem of apps and emulators, but it is an old version, so many current apps are no longer compatible. Tinkerers may find the GAMEPAD an interesting device to explore.

Ideal for: collectors of early Android handhelds, fans of classic games who want a large 7-inch screen with dual analog controls, and enthusiasts looking for a light 330 g device for retro gaming sessions.
