When it comes to emulation, SNES and PlayStation run at full speed, and lighter classics such as Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES and Sega Genesis / Mega Drive are comfortably within reach. Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS are mostly playable, while PlayStation Portable remains mostly unplayable on this hardware.
The 4-inch TFT touchscreen offers an 854 x 480 resolution, roughly 245 ppi and a 16:9 aspect ratio, protected by tempered glass. Brightness is adjusted through the menu.
The slide-out gamepad provides a separated cross D-pad, four face buttons, L1 and R1 shoulder buttons and dual touchpads in a symmetric layout in place of analog sticks. Dedicated volume buttons, Power, Back, Home, Search and two Menu buttons round out the controls, along with rumble. Dual stereo speakers face the rear, and the device measures 119 x 62 x 16 mm at 175 g.
The battery is rated at 1500 mAh, and the Power button flashes red when it runs low. Charging is via Micro USB with USB OTG support, while connectivity includes WiFi 4, Bluetooth 2.1, 3G HSPA, GPS and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Video output is only available on developer units. Sensors include an accelerometer, digital compass, front and rear cameras, microphone and proximity sensor.
The stock system is Android 2.3.7, with 400 MB of internal storage expandable via microSD. The community has produced many custom ROMs, including CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, Gin2JellyBean, NXT LE, AuroraPlay, Turbo MIUI, Hybrid ICS and JellyZeus.
Ideal for: collectors of mobile gaming hardware, retro fans who want SNES and PS1 on physical controls, and enthusiasts who enjoy modding with custom ROMs.
