Helegaly Action Pi LIVE LOOK: Excellent for $65, but wait for v2
Stubbs, Andrew, Ban and Zu take a look at the retail Action Pi, sent for review from Helegaly. This is one that is overall a very solid and capable device for the price, however there might be a deal breaker for you on v1, so let's talk about that screen.. (which now we're learning this is partially software related instead of hardware where the menu issue is concerned, the stretched pixels while in game are from the lamination process apparently, so there will be a V2 model to address this in September).
The Helegaly Action π is a $65 retro gaming handheld powered by the Allwinner A527 processor, featuring an octa-core Cortex-A55 CPU and ARM G571 GPU. It runs on Batocera Linux and supports emulation for platforms up to PlayStation, Dreamcast, and PSP. The device has a 4.02-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a resolution of 960x720. It includes 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and supports microSD expansion up to 256GB. The handheld is equipped with a 5000mAh battery, USB-C fast charging, and a mini HDMI port for external display output.
