GKD is preparing to launch the Pixel, a 2-inch gaming handheld that will serve as a direct competitor to the Anbernic RG Nano. Allegedly launching next month, the GKD Pixel will be available in six exciting color options and promises to be significantly smaller than something like a Miyoo Mini.
The Battle of Compact Gaming Handhelds
GKD has recently started teasing the Pixel, which appears to be a formidable competitor to the Anbernic RG Nano. To recap, the latter was launched in June at a price point of US$59.99, featuring a 1.5-inch display and a housing that weighs just 75 grams. In stark contrast, the GKD Pixel looks to be roughly a third larger than the RG Nano, although GKD has not yet revealed all sides of this compact gaming handheld. For now, most of the images available showcase the rear of the GKD Pixel, with the RG Nano, Miyoo Mini, and Miyoo Mini Plus included for size comparison purposes.
Impressive Display and Design
Reportedly, GKD has equipped the Pixel with a stunning 2-inch display, which also appears to have a 4:3 aspect ratio. What sets it apart from the Anbernic RG Nano is the significantly slimmer display bezels, effectively providing a greater screen real estate without increasing the device's footprint too much. Additionally, the GKD Pixel is rumored to feature a 3.5 mm audio jack and a USB Type-C port, along with a few indicator lights for added functionality.
Colorful Options and Availability
According to reports from Retro Dodo, GKD plans to offer the Pixel in a variety of color options, including Black, Blue, Green, Pink, and Red. There's also mention of an intriguing special edition, although the details remain undisclosed. As of now, the GKD Pixel is anticipated to hit the market next month, albeit in limited quantities. Initially, this exciting gaming handheld should be available through RetroCN. However, it wouldn't be surprising if GKD eventually decides to bring the Pixel to a crowdfunding platform, following the success of the Mini Plus Classic.
Final Thoughts
The gaming world is abuzz with anticipation for the GKD Pixel's release. With its larger display, sleek design, and promise of compact gaming excellence, it's poised to be a worthy contender in the market, potentially giving the Anbernic RG Nano a run for its money. As we eagerly await its launch next month, stay tuned for more updates on this exciting gaming handheld.
