QRD Vortex F5 is a gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by RK3566 (4-core, 1.8 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 5.5" IPS display (1280 x 720). 5000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
For emulation, it comfortably covers 8-bit and 16-bit systems, the Game Boy family, Game Boy Advance, SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, PlayStation, as well as arcade through MAME, Final Burn Neo and Neo Geo. N64, PSP and Dreamcast are playable, but not every game runs at full speed, and the 1 GB of RAM limits ambitions for more demanding systems.
The 5.5-inch IPS screen has a 1280 x 720 resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio and roughly 267 ppi, running at 60 Hz. The panel is OCA laminated under tempered glass, giving a crisp image with reduced reflections.
Controls include dual Hall Effect joysticks with L3/R3 in an asymmetric layout, a cross D-pad placed low, four face buttons and vertically oriented L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. There are also dedicated Home/Back, power and volume buttons. There is no rumble. The plastic body measures 223 x 103 x 35 mm and weighs 330 g.
The 5000 mAh battery charges over USB-C, with two USB-C ports on board and OTG support. You also get Bluetooth, Mini HDMI video output on the top, a 3.5 mm headphone jack at the bottom and a single top-facing mono speaker. Cooling relies on ventilation cutouts.
The device runs Linux, with 8 GB of eMMC storage and a microSD slot for your game library. Beyond emulators, it supports platforms such as PICO-8, TIC-80, ScummVM, OpenBOR, EasyRPG and MS-DOS.
Ideal for: players who want an affordable horizontal handheld with a 720p screen and Hall Effect sticks, for retro emulation up to PlayStation with occasional forays into N64, PSP or Dreamcast.
