The new POWKIDDY V20S retro console is now in stores. A machine with vertical design and shell style hinge in the style of the classic Game Boy Advance SP.
The screen on the front is a 3.5-inch IPS OCA with a 3:2 ratio and 640×480 pixels resolution, perfect for maintaining the right look in 8 or 16-bit games. In its motherboard we have the Allwinner A133P processor, this has enough power to emulate machines up to PSP or PS1. A device with a fairly retro design that we can easily carry in your pocket anywhere, the hinge allows to reduce its dimensions considerably without doubt.
To manage the environment we have an OS based on Linux, which ensures us to squeeze its performance, although in the future we can change it for other versions of the mod community much more optimized.
