OpenPandora GmbH OpenPandora is a gaming handheld launched in 2010. Powered by Cortex-A8 (1-core, 600 MHz), 256 MB RAM. Features a 4.3" TFT display (800 x 480). 4000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
The 4.3-inch TFT screen offers an 800 x 480 resolution, a 5:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and roughly 217 ppi, covered by a plastic lens.
The clamshell design hides a full QWERTY keyboard, alongside a cross D-pad placed upper and outer, dual symmetric analog slidepads placed upper and inner, four face buttons and L1 and R1 shoulder buttons. Volume is set with a wheel, power uses a switch and brightness is adjusted from the menu. The plastic body measures 140 x 83.5 x 29 mm and weighs 320 g. Audio comes from dual front-facing stereo speakers, there is a microphone, but no rumble.
The 4000 mAh battery is swappable, and charging is done via Mini USB. Connectivity includes WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, USB Host, a proprietary port, SD card storage, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and video output through a custom cable.
Running Linux, the system provides a full desktop environment, and the community has produced loads of homebrew software, available through a dedicated homebrew store. The device is now discontinued.
Ideal for: Linux and homebrew enthusiasts, collectors of niche handheld hardware, and players who want classic emulation up to SNES and 2D PlayStation together with a real physical keyboard.
