ChangLiang Li LCL CM4 Boy is a gaming handheld launched in 2021. Powered by BCM2711 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480). 6200 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
At its core is the Broadcom BCM2711 SoC with four ARM Cortex-A72 cores at 1.5 GHz, paired with a 6-core Broadcom VideoCore VI GPU at 500 MHz. LPDDR4 memory comes in 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB, depending on the CM4 module installed. The library runs from 8-bit and 16-bit computers and consoles through arcade boards and early 3D systems. N64, PSP and Dreamcast are playable, which marks this device's realistic upper limit. A heatsink handles cooling.
The 3.5-inch IPS panel runs at 640 x 480 in a 4:3 aspect ratio and 60 Hz, giving about 228 ppi. That native 4:3 shape suits original retro games well, with no stretching or large black bars. A tempered glass lens protects the screen during daily use.
The layout follows the classic vertical design. A cross D-pad sits up top and a PS Vita-style thumbstick sits lower down. Six face buttons are joined by rear-facing L1 and R1 shoulder buttons. Volume is set with a wheel, and holding Select turns the same wheel into a brightness control. A physical switch handles power. The plastic body measures 90 x 148 x 30 mm and weighs 328 g. There is no rumble.
Power comes from a swappable 6200 mAh battery, a rare feature on modern handhelds, and it charges over USB-C. You also get HDMI video output, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a USB-A port, so it can double as a mini living-room console. Sound comes from a single front-facing mono speaker. Wi-Fi and other connectivity depend on the CM4 module. Storage also depends on the module, with 0, 8, 16 or 32 GB of eMMC on board, plus microSD and a cartridge-style slot.
The console runs Linux and supports BATOCERA, RecalBox and RetroPie. These popular front-ends are easy to customize and work for both beginners and experienced tinkerers.
Ideal for: retro enthusiasts and Raspberry Pi fans who want a configurable vertical handheld with a 4:3 screen, a swappable battery and HDMI output, and who mostly play classic systems up to N64, PSP and Dreamcast.
