Powkiddy X55
About this device
The Powkiddy X55 pairs the RK3566 chip with a large 5.5 inch 720p screen. It is an affordable big screen handheld for relaxed home play up to PS1.
The Powkiddy X55 is about screen size for the money. Its 5.5 inch 720p display is large for a sub $100 handheld, which makes it a comfortable couch and desk device rather than a pocket one. The RK3566 chip keeps it in the budget tier, so it shines from 8 bit systems through PS1 and handles lighter PSP and N64. HDMI out adds easy TV play. Battery life is modest, so keep a charger nearby for long sessions. If you want a big, cheap screen for relaxed retro gaming at home, the X55 delivers.
