PowKiddy V2 is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2022. Powered by A133 Plus (4-core, 2.0 GHz), 1GB LPDDR3 RAM and PowerVR GE8300 GPU. Features a 3.2" IPS LCD display (320 x 240, 4:3). 1200 mAh battery. Runs Linux with EmuELEC support.
Inside is an Allwinner A133 Plus SoC with four Cortex-A53 cores at 2.0 GHz, paired with a PowerVR GE8300 GPU (4 cores, 660 MHz) and 1 GB of LPDDR3 RAM. This setup is geared towards classic retro emulation rather than demanding systems, and the absence of analog sticks and shoulder buttons means games designed around a D-pad and face buttons are the best fit.
The 3.2-inch IPS screen runs at 320 x 240 with a density of 125 ppi and a 4:3 aspect ratio, which suits many classic consoles well. The panel is covered by a tempered glass lens, adding scratch resistance on a device at this price point.
For controls, the V2 offers a cross D-pad placed in the upper section, six face buttons and a Home button, plus dedicated volume buttons and a power button. There is no rumble. The plastic body measures 135 x 90 x 18 mm and weighs just 140 g, so it slips easily into a pocket.
The battery has a capacity of 1200 mAh and charges over USB-C. Games are stored on a microSD card, while audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The console runs Linux with EmuELEC support, and its modding policy is permissive, so users are free to experiment with the system and its configuration.
Ideal for: players who want a very cheap, compact and lightweight vertical retro handheld dedicated to classic D-pad-based games.
