Hey fam!👋
Let’s dive into a new budget-friendly handheld that’s packed with charm and colorful lights: the XF40H by WDXSKY. It’s running Linux, rocks a square 4.0" IPS screen, and costs just about $35 USD — not bad for something that includes a vibration motor, WiFi, and dual RGB sticks!
And oh — those sticks? They glow. 😎

🕹️ Design Vibes
The design on the front really stands out — the left speaker area has a grill that looks like little X shapes side by side, and the right side has a fake speaker for visual balance. It's actually a pretty stylish look for a budget Linux handheld. The back air intake even mirrors the front design, giving it a cohesive feel all around.
Start and volume-up buttons are just to the right of the screen, while select and volume-down buttons sit on the left. Smart placement!
💡 What Makes It Unique?
RGB lighting around the sticks for that gamer glow 🌈
Vibration motor for retro games that rumble ⚡
Flexible button layout – you can easily swap from BAYX to ABXY with separate buttons
Comes with a case and screen protector, so you’re good to go right out of the box
📦 Games and Software
It comes with 18,000+ games pre-installed (though we all know how that goes 😅), and it's running a custom Linux OS, so expect solid retro gaming performance. Think 8-bit to 32-bit classics — and with WiFi and Bluetooth, you’ve got even more potential if you want to tinker.
