M26 is a retro gaming handheld launched in 2025. Features a 5.1" display (800x480). 3000 mAh battery. Runs EmuELEC.
The Cortex-A7 processor runs at a fixed 1.2 GHz. It is a modest, efficient architecture, better suited to older retro platforms than to demanding emulation. The M26 therefore focuses on lightweight classic titles, where its processing power is well matched to the task.
The 5.1-inch display, with an 800 x 480 resolution, gives older games plenty of room. The moderate resolution pairs well with the low-resolution graphics of classic systems, keeping pixel art crisp and easy to follow.
As a dedicated handheld, the M26 is made to be held and played anywhere, with no need for a TV or an external controller. The format lends itself to short sessions, where you quickly launch a game and pick up right where you left off.
The 3000 mAh battery works alongside the Cortex-A7 processor, an architecture known for its low power draw, making for a sensible combination for gaming on the go.
EmuELEC, a system dedicated to emulation, provides a unified interface for organising and launching games. Modding is permitted, so users can tweak the configuration, change themes or adapt the system to their own preferences, with EmuELEC also serving as the base for custom setups.
Ideal for: retro gaming fans looking for a simple handheld with a generous 5.1-inch screen and a ready-to-use EmuELEC system, as well as anyone who wants to experiment with software customisation on a device dedicated to classic titles.
