Snail MOQI i7 is a gaming handheld launched in 2017. Powered by Helio X27 MT6797X (10-core, 2.5 GHz), 4 GB RAM. Features a 6" IPS LCD Touchscreen display (1920 x 1080). 5800 mAh battery. Runs Android.

The Snail MOQI i7 is a horizontal Android handheld launched in 2017, built around the MediaTek Helio X27 MT6797X SoC. It packs 10 ARM cores, combining Cortex-A72 and Cortex-A53, clocked between 1.6 and 2.5 GHz, alongside a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU at 900 MHz and 4 GB of RAM. In practice, PS1, N64 and Dreamcast are playable, and some PSP and GameCube titles run as well. Below that tier the supported library is huge: from Atari 2600 and NES to SNES, Game Boy Advance, Neo Geo, MAME and Nintendo DS.

The 6-inch IPS touchscreen runs at Full HD 1920 x 1080, with roughly 367 ppi, a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 60 Hz refresh rate. It sits under tempered glass, and brightness is adjusted from the menu. The result is a very sharp image, well suited to both retro games and modern Android titles.

For controls, the MOQI i7 offers dual analog sticks in an asymmetric layout, a disc-style D-pad in the lower position, four face buttons and only L1 and R1 shoulder buttons, with no L2/R2, which can complicate games that need them. There are dedicated power and volume buttons, but no rumble. The plastic body measures 207 x 96 x 15 mm and weighs 330 g. Audio comes from dual rear-facing stereo speakers, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The 5800 mAh battery is swappable, and charging is handled over USB-C. Connectivity includes WiFi, Bluetooth, USB OTG and GPS, with 64 GB of internal storage. The device also carries a full sensor suite: front and rear cameras, microphone, gyroscope, compass, gravity sensor, light sensor and proximity sensor.

Android 7.1 gives access to emulation apps, ScummVM, OpenBOR and native games, and the modding policy is permissive, leaving room for customization.

Ideal for: players who want an Android device with a Full HD screen and physical controls, capable of PS1, N64 and Dreamcast emulation, with occasional forays into PSP and GameCube.
