LemonCrest Lemon-Pi is a gaming handheld. Features a 3.5" IPS display (320 x 240). 3000 mAh battery. Runs RetroPie (Linux).

The LemonCrest Lemon-Pi is a horizontal handheld aimed at retro emulation fans who want an open, Linux-based platform. At its core sits the Broadcom BCM2711, a quad-core ARM SoC built on Cortex-A72 cores running at 1.5 GHz, paired with Broadcom VideoCore VI graphics. Memory comes in four configurations: 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB of RAM.

Performance-wise, the Lemon-Pi handles classic systems comfortably and reaches up to N64, PSP and Dreamcast in playable form. That is a realistic ceiling for this chip, and it still covers a very wide retro library.

The 7-inch IPS display runs at 1280 x 720 in a 16:9 aspect ratio, with a pixel density of roughly 210 ppi, delivering sharp images and good viewing angles. The panel is protected by tempered glass, and brightness is adjusted through dedicated buttons.

The control layout is complete: dual symmetric thumbsticks, a cross D-pad placed up top, four face buttons and four shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). Volume and brightness each have their own buttons, and power is handled by a separate button.

The battery is rated at 10000 mAh and charges over USB-C. Connectivity is unusually generous for a handheld: four USB-A ports, Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack and dual stereo speakers. Storage is handled via microSD card.

On the software side, the Lemon-Pi runs Linux and supports RetroPie, a popular front-end for organising and launching emulators. It is worth noting, however, that the project has been in limbo for a long time and may never actually release.

Ideal for: Linux and RetroPie enthusiasts who want a large 7-inch handheld with plenty of ports and emulation up to N64, PSP and Dreamcast, and who accept the uncertainty around its release.
