Smart Pocket Max CB408 is a gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by RK3566 (4-core, 1.8 GHz), 2 GB RAM. Features a 4.7" IPS LCD Touchscreen display (1280 x 720). 4000 mAh battery. WiFi 4. Runs Android / Linux.

The Smart Pocket Max CB408 is a horizontal gaming handheld released in 2024 that pairs a chipset well known in the retro scene with a premium aluminum body. With a reference price of around $80, it sits in the $75–100 bracket and targets players who want a big-screen, console-style device for emulation.

Inside is the Rockchip RK3566, a quad-core Cortex-A55 SoC running at 1.8 GHz, paired with a Mali-G52 2EE GPU at 850 MHz and 2 GB of LPDDR4 RAM. 8-bit and 16-bit systems, the Game Boy family, Neo Geo, arcade games through MAME and Final Burn Neo, computers such as Amiga, Commodore 64 or MS-DOS, and PlayStation all run comfortably. N64, PSP and Dreamcast are mostly playable, though not every title reaches full speed, so more demanding systems are best treated as experiments.

The 4.7-inch IPS touchscreen offers 1280 x 720 resolution at 60 Hz in a 16:9 aspect ratio, with a density of around 312 ppi, and is protected by tempered glass. The image is crisp for retro content, and touch input helps with Android menus and Nintendo DS-style games.

On the controls side, you get dual analog sticks with L3/R3 in an asymmetric layout, a cross D-pad in the lower position, four face buttons and horizontally oriented L1, R1, L2, R2 shoulder buttons. Home, Back, dedicated volume and power buttons round out the layout. At 216 x 106 x 44 mm and 450 g it is a substantial device, and there is no rumble.

The 4000 mAh battery charges through two top-facing USB-C ports. Also on top are the Mini HDMI output, the 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB-A OTG port, while the dual stereo speakers face downward. Wireless connectivity is handled by WiFi 4.

The console runs Android 11 or Linux, with 16 GB / 32 GB of eMMC storage and a microSD slot for larger libraries, giving flexibility in choosing your preferred apps and interface.

Ideal for: players who want a sturdy metal retro handheld with an HD touchscreen, dual sticks and video output at an accessible price, for classic emulation up to PlayStation and occasional forays into N64, PSP or Dreamcast.
