RGB10X Handheld Game Console 3.5-in 640*480 IPS OCA Screen 2800mAh 64BIT System Gray

This is a phenomenal beginner retro handheld. I have been pushing the R36S for the entry level, but this has a better feel and is very pocketable. I played around with the unit as it was delivered, and I was impressed with the controls and hand-feel which contributed to excellent gameplay.I question the TF card that came with it because it's unbranded, but only for that reason, it had no issues. It boots quickly, and the menu system runs well -- I'd call it snappy.I Flashed the latest ArkOS on another TF card that I prepped with games I own and the real fun began. This little unit is amazing within the available power. This has a Rockchip RK3326 inside, so it plays up to about PS1 and little past that apart from "lite" games that aren't too tough. To wit, I was able to play Tetris on Saturn. The sheer pocketability has put this unit squarely in my regular use category, which was a shock.I am impressed with this device. Powkiddy does not always have the best build quality, though I have liked a number of their handhelds -- but this is next level for me in terms of how much I like it.

I got 2 of these for my Boys Christmas stockings. They crash every few minutes or just stay stuck on loading screen. Terrible waste of money.

It does what it was made for well, but I wish the screen was a little bigger.

This is a very slick and well executed POWKIDDY unit. It comes with ArkOS and is ready to use with a collection of games, however, see below for what I did.I ordered this to replace an older Powkiddy V90, the one that looks exactly like a Game Boy Advance SP. This one is obviously a much more advanced, newer model. It's still not dramatically more powerful, but the additions it brings to the table are quite nice. They are, in no particular order:1. soft power control (when you shut it down it cuts power, no hard switch to remember to use)2. soft volume control (not a knob)3. analog stick4. + and - keys which are not wildly useful but once you learn how to use RetroArch and emulation station, etc. you can figure out ways to map them.Things to know about if you're new to this type of handheld:1. THIS IS A LINUX COMPUTER. Like any computer you have to shut it down properly every time. From within a game, hit start+select twice to exit back to the menu. From the menu just hold Start to get the shutdown screen. If you fail to do this too much, you'll hose your OS and need to reinstall it (see below actually for one way to start over).2. Some more must-know keys: select+X to bring up the in-emulator menu, select+L1 to load a state, select+R1 to save a state. There's more hotkeys, Google 'ROCKNIX Wiki Powkiddy RGB10X' if you want to see more.Customizing your RGB10X:I followed some instructions online to flash, on a new high-quality SD card, a fresh copy of the OS, and prepared a second SD card dedicated to the games. Plenty of instructions for how to do this are online. If you're interested in this, I'd suggest to google something like "Joey's Retro Handhelds Powkiddy RGB10X Setup Guide." It even has info on how to find packs like the "Tiny Best Set" which will give you a well-curated set of games, avoiding things like dupes and bad rom hacks that some sets of games have.The great part is that since you should do this with 1-2 new SD cards, not the card that it comes with, if you screw it up, just pop the original card in and you have the "stock" configuration back. Once you get a good setup you like, I'd recommend to just image your SD card and keep that on your computer so that if you hose it in any way, whether it's just changing a setting that messes things up, or if an SD card just goes bad, you can easily flash it right back to a known good state.A note about kids: Since it's easy to shut this down improperly and requires some knowledge to do things like optimizing the settings, I wouldn't recommend this for small children, although if you have a kid 12 or up who likes retro games, they can be taught. Honestly this seems pretty targeted at people like me who grew up in the SNES or NES eras, and are now quite old ;)

This is a pretty nifty little device. There’s more under the hood than I initially anticipated. At first glance, it reminds me of a mix between the original Game Boy (the chunky one with the purple buttons) and an SNES controller—pretty cool design. The device feels light compared to other handheld systems, and the buttons are responsive with a nice tactile snap after being pressed. I can’t stand sticky buttons, so I was relieved these aren’t like that.The screen is exactly as advertised. While it's not an OLED display, it doesn’t detract from the retro gaming experience. It’s bright, and there are options to adjust various settings, which is a nice touch. This is my first device like this, so unlike other reviewers, I don’t have much to compare it to other than the legacy consoles I used to play. That said, it’s impressive to have such a massive library of games at your fingertips.The user interface is simple enough to navigate for gaming, but there are additional features you can access through different button combinations, all clearly outlined in the instructions. These include things like frame rate display, pausing the ROM (not the game), system settings, save/load states, screen capture, and more. There are more systems loaded onto this device than I even knew existed, which led to some fun exploration as I Googled to figure out what was what.However, I did expect loading ROMs to be a bit more straightforward. I’m still figuring out how to do it, as it seems the process is as simple as finding the right emulation folder and dragging ROMs there. The problem is, there are so many folders, and it’s not always clear which ROMs are compatible with which emulator. It’s been more of a trial-and-error process, but when I do find the right folder, everything works flawlessly in terms of performance.You also have access to the device's BIOS, so I’d advise caution when exploring the internal programs. Be careful not to move or delete any folders or files, as that could mess up the boot sequence. The device has two SD card slots, which is great for expanding your game library. However, I haven’t been able to get the second slot to work yet. I’m sure it’s functional, but more exploration is needed on my end.One concern I do have is the battery. It dropped to 30%, and when I tried to turn it on, it showed a "low battery" warning and wouldn’t start. After plugging it in, it said 76% and powered on just fine. But as soon as I unplugged it, the battery level dropped back to 29%. I haven’t had enough time with the device yet to fully gauge how playing affects battery life, so I’m reserving judgment for now.Overall, this is a really cool device. If you’re looking for a good dose of nostalgia and a great way to play classic games, this is a solid choice.

good spread of games.ArkOS is one of the better operating systems for personalizing, portmaster, and some of the higher end games.Still limited by the utterly average RK3326 chip and 1GB RAM, but does well within those limitations.Fun, good battery life.Popular for good reasons. Easy to use and play.
