ZPG A1 Unicorn is a gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by Helio G99 (8-core, 2.2 GHz), 6 GB RAM. Features a 4" IPS LCD Touchscreen display (720 x 720). 4500 mAh battery. Runs Android.
The ZPG A1 Unicorn from Z-Pocket Game is a horizontal handheld launched in 2024, running Android 13 on a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC. The 8-core processor (2x Cortex-A76 and 6x Cortex-A55, 2.0 - 2.2 GHz) is paired with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU and 6 GB or 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, all in the $100 - $150 price bracket.
On the emulation side, the A1 Unicorn runs N64, PSP and Dreamcast at full speed, while most GameCube and Wii titles are playable. PS2 is barely playable and only for the easier-to-emulate games. Below those systems, the library covers the whole retro spectrum, from Atari, Commodore and MSX to SNES, Mega Drive, PlayStation, Neo Geo and arcade via MAME and Final Burn Neo.
The 4-inch IPS touchscreen has a 720 x 720 resolution, a 1:1 aspect ratio, roughly 255 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. It sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass. The square format suits classic handheld systems and retro games well, though widescreen titles will be letterboxed.
Controls include two Hall Effect thumbsticks with L3/R3 in an asymmetric layout, a disc-style D-pad in the lower position, four face buttons and L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. A gyroscope, rumble and microphone broaden what you can play, and front-facing dual stereo speakers point sound straight at the player. The plastic body measures 160 x 92 x 22 mm and weighs 252 g.
The 4500 mAh battery charges over USB-C, located on the bottom next to the 3.5mm headphone jack. Cooling is active, with a heatsink, fan and ventilation cutouts. Internal storage is 128 GB of eMMC, expandable via microSD, and connectivity includes WiFi.
Android 13 gives access to popular frontends and emulators, plus native games and streaming apps, with full control over how each system is configured.
Ideal for: players who want an affordable Android handheld with a square retro-friendly screen, Hall Effect sticks and enough power for N64, PSP, Dreamcast and a good share of GameCube and Wii.
