What the specs mean

16:10 screen

Close to widescreen: PSP and Switch nearly fill it. 4:3 home consoles show bars at the sides.

Based on: Display math: native screen shapes of each system

Sharpest fit: GBA

At 10x, GBA fills 94% of the screen with even pixels. Filling the rest means stretching, which some people smooth with a filter.

Based on: Display math: largest whole-number scale that fits the screen

Same chip as 6 other handhelds

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX370 also powers the AOKZOE A1X, AYANEO 3, GPD Win Mini 2025, KONKR Fit and more. The same chip means similar speed, though memory and cooling can differ.

Based on: Our handheld database (chip field)

DS on one screen

DS games show both screens shrunk side by side, or one big screen you swap. The touch screen stands in for the stylus.

Based on: Layout data: single screen with touch
