M25: A new retro handheld with a design copying that of the PlayStation Portal

There are many retro gaming handheld copiers out there, whether those like the R40S that mimic other, more popular retro gaming handhelds or those that seek to emulate classic designs like the Odin2 Mini. Today, there is an option that has been grafted onto the PlayStation Portal (currently $199 on Amazon), an accessory for the PlayStation 5 whose scope is relatively limited.

Arguably, the choice of chipset that underpins the M25 makes the device less powerful than the device it is inspired by. Specifically, the former’s Geekbuying listing suggests that the M25 builds on the Rockchip RK3566, a 22nm SoC that powers many other retro gaming consoles such as the Anbernic RG503, GKD Mini Plus and the Powkiddy RGB30 among others. For reference, the Rockchip RK3566 chip inside the M25 contains four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 1.8 GHz, as well as a Mali-G52 MP2 processor that can reach around 950 MHz.

Additionally, the M25 comes with 4GB of RAM, a 3,000mAh battery, and expandable storage of 64 or 128GB, on which its manufacturer has pre-installed EmuELEC 4.3. Oddly enough, the device costs $87.99 whether you configure it with 64 or 128 GB of storage. Additionally, the device has the usual assortment of control buttons, inside which there is a 4.3-inch screen with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. Please see the Geekbuying listing for the M25 for more details.
