Powkiddy took a big risk with the original RGB30, as it was a horizontal 1:1 aspect ratio handheld that worked very well with many retro games with that aspect ratio, especially the Game Boy Color games.

Powkidy also had some good feedback from fans of the RGB20S, it was an affordable vertical handheld that could emulate PS1 games and below, so like many handheld manufacturers in the field, he decided to combine the two to create the new RGB20SX .

The Powkidy uses the same design as the RGB20S, but uses the 1:1 display from the RGB30 instead, creating a vertical handheld with the unique screen ratio that Powkiddy enthusiasts have been asking for.

This news was leaked back in February and certainly got some people excited, but now you can pre-order the Powkiddy RGB20SX from their website starting today.

Their official website states that it will be able to emulate most retro consoles including Nintendo 64, Playstation 1 and Nintendo DS. This screen size makes the Nintendo DS a little more tolerable if you want to show both screens instead of switching between them, although the text will be very small, but it's still possible.
It cannot be denied that the build quality will not be the best, as users have come forward to criticize Powkiddy for always taking shortcuts, especially with the quality of the plastic shell and the design of the shoulder buttons.

But despite that, they say it's fun to play, looks colorful, has a bright screen, and its user interface is basic enough to understand without a manual. Powkiddy has priced this product at $89.99, which is quite expensive, especially considering what's on the market. That's almost the same price as the Retroid Pocket 2S, which is a much better device for $10 more.
