Snail Much W1 (78Dian 78P01) is a gaming handheld launched in 2014. Powered by MT6592 (8-core, 2.0 GHz), 2 GB RAM. Features a 5" IPS LCD Touchscreen display (1280 x 720). 3000 mAh battery. Runs Android.
That combination comfortably handles systems up to PlayStation at 60 FPS, and most Nintendo 64 games run at full speed. Dreamcast titles are mostly playable, though never at a locked 60 FPS, while 2D PSP games generally run at full speed and 3D PSP games struggle. The platform list is impressive: NES, SNES, Mega Drive, the Game Boy family, Nintendo DS, Neo Geo, MAME, Final Burn Neo, MS-DOS, ScummVM, plus classic computers such as the Commodore 64, Amiga, MSX and ZX Spectrum.
The 5-inch IPS touchscreen offers a 1280 x 720 resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, roughly 294 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate, protected by tempered glass. Touch input comes in handy for Nintendo DS emulation and native Android games.
Controls include a cross D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons, two symmetrically placed analog slidepads and only L1 and R1 shoulder buttons, alongside Back, Home, Power and dedicated volume buttons. Rumble and a gyroscope add feedback and motion control. The plastic body measures 176 x 74 x 13 mm and weighs just 155 g.
The 3000 mAh battery is swappable, and charging is handled via Micro USB. The device offers WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a single rear-facing mono speaker, 16 GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, front and rear cameras, a microphone, and light, proximity, gravity and compass sensors.
It runs Android 4.4 and modding is permitted, giving freedom to install emulators and apps. However, the Android version is dated and the console is discontinued, so it is mostly found on the second-hand market.
Ideal for: collectors of early Android handhelds, players who want smooth emulation up to PlayStation and Nintendo 64, and anyone who values an easily replaceable battery.
