A retro-styled handheld gaming console is not something you see released often. The GKD Mini Plus handheld gaming console is one such device. The new device comes with a 3.5-inch display, a Rockchip RK3566 chipset, and a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The Mini Plus has a removable accessory with analog sticks and supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The GKD Mini Plus is powered by the
entry-level Rockchip RK2566 with four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores at 1.8GHz and a
Mali-G52 GPU. It can play older titles from the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance
consoles, reflecting its retro identity. It has 1GB RAM and a 3,000mAh battery.
It also comes with several buttons together with quad shoulder buttons. You can
charge the handheld via its USB-C port which is also a data transfer terminal.
There are dual microSD card readers and a 3.5mm audio jack featured on the
device as well.
The GKD Mini Plus detachable analog sticks
can be plugged into the device via USB-C. The analog sticks were also featured
in the Mini Plus Classic although GKD is silent on the release details of that
variant. The GKD Mini Plus is retailed in China for 469 yuan (US$ 67). There are
no pricing details available for the GKD Mini Plus Classic at this time. The
global availability of the Mini Plus is also unknown. Third-party retailers in
China are some of the quick ways of buying the product.
