BOYHOM R40XX is a gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by Cortex-A35 (4-core, 1.3 GHz - 1.5 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 4.2" IPS display (1024 x 768). 4000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
Inside is a quad-core, four-thread Cortex-A35 CPU running at 1.3 – 1.5 GHz, a two-core Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of DDR3L RAM. This setup comfortably handles 8-bit and 16-bit systems such as Game Boy, Game Boy Color, NES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, SNES and Game Boy Advance, as well as PlayStation. The compatibility list also includes Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, PSP and Sega Saturn; on this hardware, these more demanding systems are best treated as a bonus, with results varying from title to title.
The 4.2-inch IPS screen runs at 1024 x 768 with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a density of roughly 305 ppi. The 4:3 format matches home consoles like the NES, SNES, Mega Drive and PlayStation, so their games fill the panel, while the high resolution allows clean scaling and room for visual shaders.
The vertical layout recalls classic portable designs and suits the kind of games this style was originally made for. A 4000 mAh battery, paired with a low-power chipset, supports comfortable play sessions.
The console runs Linux and supports ArkOS, and its modding policy is permissive. That means users can install alternative firmware, customise the interface and fine-tune emulation settings to their liking.
Ideal for: retro fans who prefer a vertical handheld, players who want a crisp 4:3 screen for classic console games, and tinkerers who value the freedom that ArkOS brings.
