G90 Handheld Game Console – Big Screen Gaming for Under $60!

Hey fam 👋


Today, we’re checking out something for the gamers who want a bigger screen without a bigger budget. Meet the G90 Handheld Game Console, a 7-inch horizontal handheld with retro gaming roots, priced at approximately US$55.92 at the time of writing.


📌 What is the G90?

The G90 is a budget-friendly, large-screen handheld that’s great for retro game lovers. Its standout feature is the 7-inch IPS full lamination HD display with a resolution of 1024x600, making your classic games look bright and sharp. It utilizes OCA lamination technology, which helps reduce glare and makes the screen colors more vibrant.

It runs on Linux 5.1 with RetroArch baked in, giving you a familiar and customizable emulation setup.


🎮 Controls and Design

The G90 features dual analog sticks, a D-Pad, and ABXY face buttons, with L1/L2 and R1/R2 shoulder buttons on top for full compatibility with PS1 and PSP games.

If you love color, check out the Red/Blue unit, where the right side (red) has a Y-shaped speaker cutout, and the left side (blue) has an X-shaped speaker cutout. It definitely gives off Nintendo Switch vibes with its own little twist.


Prefer something low-key? You can also grab it in solid black or solid white.


🔊 Audio and Multimedia

The G90 has high-quality stereo speakers for surprisingly decent audio output for the price. With speaker placement on each side of the screen, you get a nice stereo effect whether you’re gaming or watching videos.
