PowKiddy RGB20SX is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by RK3566 (4-core, 1.8 GHz), 1GB LPDDR4 RAM and Mali-G52 2EE GPU. Features a 4" IPS LCD display (720 x 720, 1:1). 5000 mAh battery and WiFi 5, Bluetooth. Runs Linux.
This hardware runs 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, arcade games via MAME and Final Burn Neo, Game Boy Advance and the original PlayStation smoothly. Nintendo 64, PSP and Dreamcast are mostly playable, though not every title reaches full speed, so the device shines brightest on classic generations. The library also stretches to computers such as Amiga, MS-DOS and ZX Spectrum, plus ScummVM, Pico-8 and OpenBOR.
The 4-inch IPS screen has a 720 x 720 resolution, a 1:1 aspect ratio, roughly 255 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. The panel sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass for a crisp image with good contrast. The square format suits classic handheld games, while 4:3 titles are shown with side borders.
On the controls side, the RGB20SX offers a cross D-pad at the top, four face buttons, dual symmetric thumbsticks with L3/R3 and horizontally arranged L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. Dedicated Menu, Reset, Power and volume buttons round out the layout. The plastic body measures 87 x 143 x 22 mm and weighs 240 g, while audio comes from a front-facing mono speaker or the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The battery is rated at 5000 mAh, and two USB-C ports sit on the bottom edge. Connectivity includes WiFi 5 and Bluetooth, a top-facing Mini HDMI output lets you play on a TV, and dual microSD slots give flexibility for system and game storage.
The console runs Linux and modding is permitted, opening the door to alternative firmware and extensive customisation.
Ideal for: retro fans who want an affordable vertical handheld with a quality square screen, dual analog sticks and TV output.
