Powkiddy RGB30
About this device
The Powkiddy RGB30 is a budget handheld built around a 4 inch 1:1 square screen. It is made for Game Boy, arcade boards, and vertical shooters, and the RK3566 chip clears everything through PS1.
The Powkiddy RGB30 is built around one idea, a 4 inch square screen at a true 1:1 ratio. That panel makes Game Boy, arcade boards, and vertical shooters look the way they were meant to, with no letterboxing. The RK3566 is a budget chip, so set expectations at everything through PS1 plus lighter N64 and PSP. Battery life is strong at around 8 hours, and Mini HDMI out lets you play on a TV. Open source Linux like JELOS or ROCKNIX unlocks its best self. For square screen fans on a budget, nothing else feels quite like it.
