POWKIDDY V10 – A Chunky Pocket Beast That Packs a Punch

Updated: Jun 11

Hey fam 👋


If you’re looking for a retro handheld that’s small enough to travel with, but big enough to grip comfortably—the POWKIDDY V10 might be your next little gaming buddy. This adorable unit brings the best of classic gaming, layered in a chunky shell that just begs to be held. And trust me—it’s got the guts to back up the look 💪

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this palm-sized powerhouse worth the grab 👇


🧱 Chonky Build, Cozy Grip

The V10 isn’t trying to be ultra-slim—it’s rocking that chunky, nostalgic charm! With dimensions of 103.2 x 94 x 22.5mm, the body fills your hands in just the right way. The curved L/R trigger buttons rest comfortably under your fingers, making it one of the most playable pocket devices I’ve tested. The shell is durable ABS plastic, and it comes in a few cool color options:

🖥️ 3.5” IPS Display – GBA-Perfect Resolution

At the heart of the V10 is a 3.5" IPS screen with a 480x320 resolution and OCA full lamination, making it ideal for pixel-perfect GBA scaling and all sorts of retro goodness.


The viewing angles are great, and the display is bright enough for most lighting conditions.
