PowKiddy V10 is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1GB DDR3 RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (480 x 320, 3:2). 3000 mAh, Swappable battery. Runs Linux.
Inside is the Rockchip RK3326 SoC, with four Cortex-A35 cores at 1.3–1.5 GHz, a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM. 8- and 16-bit systems, Game Boy Advance and SNES, including Super FX titles, run without trouble, and 3D PlayStation games reach 60 FPS. 2D PSP games are mostly playable, 3D PSP titles need frameskip, and N64 and Dreamcast work well only for the easier-to-emulate games. The library also covers arcade through MAME, Final Burn Neo, CPS1/CPS2 and Neo Geo, plus ScummVM, Pico-8 and EasyRPG.
The 3.5-inch IPS screen has an HVGA resolution of 480 x 320, a 3:2 aspect ratio, about 165 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. It is OCA laminated under tempered glass for a clear image and a durable surface.
Controls include a cross D-pad placed at the top, four face buttons and L1, R1, L2, R2 shoulder buttons arranged horizontally on the top edge. There are no analog sticks, which limits games that rely on analog input. Dedicated power, reset and volume buttons round out a plastic body measuring 94 x 103.2 x 22.5 mm.
The 3000 mAh battery is swappable, so it can be replaced easily. There are two USB-C ports on top, a 3.5 mm headphone jack at the bottom and a front-facing mono speaker. Storage is handled by microSD, and WiFi is available only through a USB dongle.
The V10 runs Linux, and its modding policy is permissive, so users are free to experiment with software and firmware.
Ideal for: players who want an affordable vertical handheld for 8/16-bit classics, Game Boy, arcade and PlayStation, with a swappable battery and freedom to mod.
