HardKernel ODROID S is a gaming handheld launched in 2010. Powered by Cortex-A8 (1-core, 1 GHz), 512 MB RAM. Features a 3.5" TFT display (480 x 320). 1300 mAh battery. Runs Android.

The HardKernel ODROID S is a horizontal Android handheld launched in 2010 and now discontinued. At its heart sits the Exynos 3110 SoC with a single Cortex-A8 core at 1 GHz, paired with a PowerVR SGX540 GPU at 500 MHz and 512 MB of LPDDR1 RAM. By today's standards this is modest hardware, so the device is better suited to lightweight Android games and less demanding classic emulation than to heavy 3D titles.

The 3.5-inch TFT screen runs at 480 x 320 with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a pixel density of 164 ppi. It is compact and adequate for low-resolution retro content, even if its sharpness cannot match modern panels.

For controls, the ODROID S uses a D-pad made of separated buttons placed in the upper position, plus four face buttons. There are no analog sticks and no shoulder buttons, which limits games that rely on triggers or analog input. Home, Menu, OK and Back buttons are on board, along with dedicated volume buttons. The plastic body measures 150 x 76 x 16 mm and weighs just 160 g. There is no rumble, and audio comes from a single mono speaker.

The 1300 mAh battery charges over Mini USB. Connectivity includes WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 2.0, while the HDMI output lets you hook the handheld up to a TV. A 3.5mm headphone jack handles private listening, and storage is provided via microSD.

On the software side, the console runs Android 2.1, an early version of the platform. The Android base still allows installing apps and emulators, and the microSD slot gives room for games and files.

Ideal for: handheld collectors, fans of early Android gaming history, and users who want a light, compact device for simple 2D games with the option to play on a TV over HDMI.
