Specifications:

  • Screen: 4.0-inch IPS full viewing angle, OCA full lamination, 800*680 resolution
  • CPU: AK3326 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53, 1.5GHz frequency
  • GPU: Dual-core G31 MP2
  • RAM: 1GB LPDDR4
  • Storage: 64GB TF/MicroSD

Not too bad for the price. Considering it runs linux, you should have the freedom to customize this device.

The biggest drawback is the 4 inch screen, but I guess one can't complain considering the price.

I don't even think this is a drawback. There aren't enough pocket-sized handhelds these days. And the screen-to-body ratio is pretty good.

This seems fairly similar in capability to the Anbernic RG351P, which uses the same RK3326 processor (and by extension the same GPU), similarly has 1GB RAM, similarly has two sticks, and similarly has a conspicuous lack of integrated Wi-Fi. Biggest difference is the screen and body: 351 has a 3.5" 480x320 screen and this is 4" 800x680.

A bunch of Powkiddy devices use this processor too, like the Powkiddy RGB10, RGB20 and V10. Reviews for any of them should tell you how well this'll perform.
