Thumby Color is a gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by RP2350 (2-core, 150 MHz), 520 KB RAM. Features a 0.85" Color LCD display (128 x 128). 110 mAh battery. Runs MicroPython.

Thumby Color is a tiny handheld launched by TinyCircuits in 2024, designed more as a pocket-sized toy and tinkerer's platform than as a classic emulation machine. Inside sits the RP2350 chip, built on the Cortex-M33 architecture, with 2 cores running at 150 MHz and 520 KB of RAM, enough for simple games and homemade creations.

The 0.85" Color LCD screen offers a 128 x 128 resolution and a 60 Hz refresh rate. It is covered only by a protector, with no dedicated lens. The very small size means games need to be designed specifically for this format, but the color display adds clear visibility and plenty of charm.

Controls are kept to the essentials: a cross-shaped D-pad placed in the lower section and two face buttons. The plastic body measures just 51.6 x 30.0 x 11.6 mm, so the console slips easily into a pocket or onto a keychain. Built-in rumble delivers surprisingly satisfying feedback for such a small device.

The 110 mAh battery charges over Micro USB, and power is handled by a physical switch. Audio comes from a single rear-facing mono speaker, with volume adjusted through the menu rather than dedicated buttons.

On the software side, Thumby Color runs a proprietary system with MicroPython, turning it into an excellent tool for learning to code or for creating and testing your own small games. Users can freely experiment with code without complicated barriers.

Ideal for: fans of miniature gadgets, beginner programmers who want to write games in MicroPython, collectors of unusual consoles and anyone looking for a fun pocket handheld for short play sessions.
