There have been many OEMs that have been launching new handheld gaming consolesin the market lately. Among these devices are console Windows-based devices such as the OneXPlayer Mini Pro, as well as Android-based devices such as the Retroid Pocket 3+ and the Anbernic RG505. This is a new device from KT Pocket which falls under the latter classification because it comes with an Android-based operating system and is one of the first devices from the company.
Having finally made the console available for purchase, the brand has finally made it available for purchase. You can order the KT-R1 directly from KT Pocket’s website, and the starting price of the 4GB of RAM and 64GB configuration can be found on the KT Pocket website for US$169. In this version, you will find a plastic shell. With a US$279 price tag and a metal shell, the more expensive version of this device comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage. Both models offer the option of expanding the internal storage capacity – which is something worth noting.
KT-R1 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, a 6 nm chip that is equipped with two ARM Cortex-A76 CPU cores and six Cortex-A55 CPU cores, as well as a Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. Although the KT-3:2 R1’s display is more suited to Game Boy Advance games, the SoC should be powerful enough for it to emulate PlayStation 2 games in theory.
Aside from that, the KT-R1 also comes with Android 12, Bluetooth 5.2, and WiFi 5 as well as Android 12. If you are interested in finding out more details about the KT-R1 handheld console, you can visit KT Pocket’s website.
