Powkiddy V90S: Intriguing News on Upcoming Flip-Style Handheld
Powkiddy has started building hype for some intriguing news about the upcoming V90S, and it looks like it's arriving at just the perfect time to catch the resurgence of flip-style gaming handhelds.
It looks like the clamshell fun is heating up big time. We've already had Anbernic build some excitement for their RG34XX SP, hot on the heels of the Miyoo Flip. It looks like Powkiddy won't be letting them have all the fun.
What's the Reason for the V90S.
After a few earlier teases earlier this week from Powkiddy and Taki Udon, we now know some of the details. The V90S's brain will be the Allwinner A133P chipset. If the name sounds familiar, it's because this chip has become a new favorite among numerous retro handhelds recently. With 1GB of DDR3 RAM on board, this setup would suggest that the V90S should perform at a level consistent with other clamshell competitors like the RG34XX SP and the Miyoo Flip.
A Brighter Perspective for Your Retro Expeditions
One of the biggest upgrades is the screen. The V90S has a 3.5-inch 640 x 480-resolution display. That's a huge jump from the V90's 320 x 240 display. This means sharper graphics and, excitingly, it will supposedly offer a perfect 2x integer scale for most old-school console titles, always a visual treat.
Connectivity Options
Incidentally, it looks like Powkiddy might be shifting its port selection. The details suggest the V90S will offer two USB Type-C ports and a single microSD card reader. That being said, it doesn't look like a legacy 3.5mm headphone jack will be part of the package this time around. That's a decision that's sure to bring some buzz from handheld enthusiasts.
While Powkiddy hasn't pinned down an exact release date just yet, the reveal of these specifications certainly builds anticipation. It's looking like the V90S could be a compelling option for those who love the clamshell form factor and want solid retro gaming performance. Keep an eye out for more news, as the launch can't be too far away now.
