BOYHOM R46S is a gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by RK3566 (4-core, 1.8 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 4" IPS LCD display (720 x 720). 4000 mAh battery. Wi-Fi 4. Runs Linux.

The BOYHOM R46S is a horizontal retro handheld launched in 2024, built around the Rockchip RK3566 SoC and running Linux. With a square 4-inch screen, dual analog sticks and a reference price of around $70, it targets players who want a broad retro library in a compact, affordable device.

Under the hood sits a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU clocked at 1.8 GHz, paired with a Mali-G52 2EE GPU at 850 MHz and 1 GB of LPDDR4 RAM. This combination handles 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, arcade titles through MAME and Final Burn Neo, the Game Boy family, Neo Geo and PlayStation comfortably. Its upper limit is N64, PSP and Dreamcast, which are mostly playable but not all at full speed. The supported list also covers home computers such as Commodore 64, Amiga, MSX, ZX Spectrum and MS-DOS, along with ScummVM, Pico-8 and OpenBOR.

The 4-inch IPS display runs at 720 x 720 with a 1:1 aspect ratio, about 255 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate, protected by tempered glass. The square format is a natural fit for classic handhelds, arcade games and 8-bit and 16-bit systems, while widescreen systems such as the PSP will appear with black bars.

Controls are complete for this class: a cross-shaped D-pad in the upper position, symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3, four face buttons and horizontal L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. Rumble, a gyroscope and a microphone add extra options, and dedicated volume buttons sit alongside the power and reset buttons. The plastic body measures 185 x 80 x 20 mm.

A 4000 mAh battery powers the device, with two bottom-facing USB-C ports and OTG support. A top-facing mini HDMI output lets you play on a TV, a 3.5mm headphone jack sits at the bottom, and dual stereo speakers face the rear. Wireless connectivity includes WiFi 4 and Bluetooth for updates, file transfers and wireless accessories.

On the software side, the R46S runs Linux and uses dual microSD storage, making it easy to separate the system from your game library. Modding is permitted, so enthusiasts can explore custom operating systems and frontends for full control over their setup.

Ideal for: retro fans on a budget who want a square-screen handheld with dual sticks, TV output and wide emulation coverage up to PlayStation, with occasional forays into N64, PSP and Dreamcast.
