OpenPandora GmbH DragonBox Pyra is a gaming handheld launched in 2021. Powered by OMAP 5432 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 2 GB RAM. Features a 5" ADS LCD Touchscreen display (1280 x 720). 6000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
The DragonBox Pyra is a clamshell handheld from OpenPandora GmbH, released in 2021, that sits between a retro gaming console and a pocket Linux computer. At its heart is the Texas Instruments OMAP 5432 SoC, combining two Cortex-A15 cores and two Cortex-M4 cores at 1.5 GHz, paired with a PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU running at 532 MHz and 2 GB or 4 GB of DDR3 RAM.
The platform library is remarkably broad: from Atari 2600, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amiga through NES, SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Game Boy Advance and PlayStation, plus MAME, Final Burn Neo, ScummVM and MS-DOS. By estimate, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, PSP and Dreamcast are playable, marking the upper limit of its emulation reach.
The 5-inch LCD touchscreen offers HD 1280 x 720 resolution in a 16:9 format, roughly 294 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. There is no glass lens, only a screen protector.
Controls include a cross D-pad in an upper, outer position, dual symmetric slidepads placed upper and inner, six face buttons and vertically oriented L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. The standout feature is the full QWERTY keyboard, joined by a volume wheel and a dedicated brightness button. It also packs rumble, a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, magnetometer, microphone and pressure, humidity and temperature sensors. The plastic body measures 139 x 87 x 32 mm and weighs 384 g.
The swappable 6000 mAh battery charges via Micro USB. Connectivity covers WiFi, Bluetooth, USB OTG, two USB Host ports, Micro HDMI video output, a 3.5mm headphone jack and top-facing dual stereo speakers. The Mobile Edition adds 3G/4G and GPS. Internal storage is 32 GB eMMC, expandable via microSD.
The device runs Linux with Debian support, turning it into an open platform for desktop applications, programming and tinkering, not just gaming.
Ideal for: Linux enthusiasts, retro emulation fans who want a physical keyboard, and users looking for a versatile pocket computer with full control over its software.
