Display

4.0″ IPS.
720×720.

A 1:1 aspect ratio built for retro gaming — 16-bit classics and 3D adventures fill the screen without letterboxing or stretching. Tempered glass over an IPS panel delivers full viewing angles, scratch resistance, and colour accuracy that holds up in sunlight or a dim lounge room. At 720×720, sprites are sharp. Texture edges are clean. Everything your childhood remembers — but sharper than it actually was.
