JinXing Digital JXD S601 is a gaming handheld launched in 2012. Powered by Cortex-A9 (4-core, 1 GHz), 512 MB DDR3 RAM and Mali-400 MP4 GPU. Features a 4.3" Touchscren display (480 x 272). 2300 mAh battery and WiFi 3. Runs Android 2.3.
On paper, the emulation list is generous: Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, NES and SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, PlayStation, as well as Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation Portable. The 8-bit and 16-bit systems are a natural fit for this hardware, while the more demanding platforms such as Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and PSP put real pressure on the 512 MB of RAM and the Android 2.3 base, so they are best approached with moderate expectations.
The 4.3-inch touchscreen runs at 480 x 272, with a density of 128.3 ppi and a 30:17 aspect ratio. The resolution is modest, but it suits low-resolution retro content well, and touch input helps with navigating Android and playing Nintendo DS titles. Brightness is adjusted through the menu.
On the controls side, the D-pad uses separated buttons and sits in the upper position, with the single analog slidepad placed below it. Four face buttons, L1 and R1 shoulder buttons, Menu and ESC keys and dedicated volume buttons round out the layout. There is no rumble. The plastic body measures 172 x 75 x 20 mm and weighs just 194 g.
The 2300 mAh battery charges through a Mini USB port. Connectivity includes WiFi 3, USB-OTG, AV out for connecting to a TV and a 3.5mm headphone jack, plus a rear camera. The 4 GB of storage is complemented by microSD card support.
The operating system is Android 2.3, and the modding policy is permissive, leaving room to experiment with alternative software and emulators.
Ideal for: collectors of early Android handhelds, fans of classic 8-bit and 16-bit emulation, and players looking for a lightweight retro device with a touchscreen and TV output.
