GAMEMT E5 is a gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by VT569B (1-core, 810 MHz), 64 MB RAM. Features a 5" IPS LCD display (960 x 544). 5000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
Inside is the V.R. Technology VT569B SoC, a single-core Cortex-A7 processor running at 810 MHz. It is paired with a Vivante 3D GPU and 64 MB of DDR2 RAM. That is modest hardware, but it covers a broad retro library: Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, NES and SNES, Sega Master System, Game Gear and Genesis / Mega Drive, Neo Geo, Capcom Play System 1 and 2, and PlayStation. Almost all SNES and PS1 titles run at full speed. Slight lag appears only in a few SNES games that use the FX chip and in some 3D PS1 games.
The display is a 5-inch IPS panel with a 960 x 544 (qHD+) resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, 60 Hz refresh rate and roughly 220 ppi. It sits under tempered glass with OCA lamination, which keeps the image crisp and the surface durable.
Controls follow the vertical layout: a single thumbstick placed up top, a disc-style D-pad below and four face buttons. These are joined by L1, R1, L2, R2 and shelf buttons. Dedicated volume buttons, a Menu key and a power button round things out, while brightness is adjusted through the menu. The body is made of plastic.
The 5000 mAh battery charges through either of two top-facing USB-C ports. Also on top are a Mini HDMI video output for playing on a TV and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Dual stereo speakers fire from the rear, and games are stored on microSD.
The E5 runs Linux, and modding is permitted, giving tinkerers room to experiment with the software side.
Ideal for: budget-minded players who want a big-screen vertical handheld for 8- and 16-bit classics, Game Boy Advance, arcade games and most of the PS1 library, with the option to play on a TV.
