To begin with, the device runs on Android 13 and is equipped with a 5.48-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Processing power comes from the Unisoc T820 platform, accompanied by 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM memory and comes with microSD options with 128GB or 256GB of capacity.
The company has already confirmed that its portable console will not be marketed in white. Therefore, black and translucent blue are the only colors we will see at its launch. Furthermore, the model comes with a joystick with hall effect to prevent drift problems, as well as the use of the same technology in the triggers, enabling greater precision in various games.
The device also comes with a gyroscope and, according to the brand, it has enough firepower to run PlayStation 2 games through emulation. Additionally, it comes with a USB-C port that serves both for charging and for connecting to a second screen, if the user prefers this type of experience.
