Performance

Benchmark scores demolish the competition: Geekbench 3123 single-core / 9819 multi-core, Antutu 2.8 million, 3DMark 6684. Smashes both the AYANEO Pocket S2 and KONKR Pocket FIT in benchmarks. The new Xbox emulator (X1Box) runs on the device. However, some emulator and Vulkan driver issues were noted at the time of review.

Priced similarly to the budget KONKR Pocket FIT and much cheaper than the premium AYANEO Pocket S2, making it strong value for the performance level.
