1UP PiX Portable is a gaming handheld launched in 2018. Powered by BCM2837 (4-core, 1.2 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 2.8" IPS LCD display (640 x 480). 4000 mAh battery. Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.1. Runs Linux.
The 2.8" IPS display runs at 640 x 480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 60 Hz refresh rate, giving a sharp 285 ppi. The 4:3 shape suits classic 8-bit and 16-bit games, which fill the panel without awkward black bars. An acrylic lens protects the screen.
The controls follow a classic layout. The cross D-pad sits in the upper position and a single analog thumbstick sits below it. They are joined by four face buttons (A, B, X, Y), Start and Select, and four horizontal shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). The plastic body measures 130 x 65 x 32 mm and weighs 350 g, so it is a fairly chunky device. There is no rumble, and a physical switch handles power.
A 4000 mAh Li-Po battery delivers about 4 hours of play. It recharges in roughly 2.5 hours via Micro USB at 5V/2A. Connectivity is unusually rich for a handheld. You get four USB ports, Ethernet, HDMI video output, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1 and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Bottom-facing dual stereo speakers handle audio, and volume and brightness are adjusted through the menu.
The device runs Linux with RetroPie, using Emulation Station as the front end and RetroArch for emulation. Games and the system live on microSD, so storage is easy to swap or expand. The menus support multiple languages, including English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese.
Ideal for: retro enthusiasts and collectors who want a customizable RetroPie handheld that doubles as a TV console via HDMI. It suits classic consoles and computers up to PlayStation, with a reference price around $175.
