Hardkernel has just launched the new ODROID-Go Ultra, after previewing the gaming handheld device two months ago. The ODROID-Go Ultra brings technology from the previous ODROID models, so let’s have a look.
The design of the new gaming handheld is based on the ODROID-Go Super meanwhile its internals is based on the ODROID-N2 Plus. In other words, its the culmination of two other models. The ODROID-Go Ultra has been released in the market with the same color that Hardkernel had teased earlier this year. So, the ODROID-Go Ultra is available in a ‘Clear White’ and ‘Dim Gray’ color options. Looking at the images, the latter has an opaque and matte finish, while the Clear White is translucent.
Both variants weigh 299 grams with 16GB of eMMC flash storage that included to boot the OS and a microSD card slot for storing games. Under the hood, the gaming handheld features the Amlogic S922X that is paired with 2 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and is powered by a 4,000mAh battery pack. The front packs a 5 inch display, which has a 854 x 480 pixel resolution. The company also bundles the handheld gaming product with a USB Type-A to USB Type-A and Type-C Y-charging cable as well.
The latter is reportedly offered because of the charging issues when the battery is completely depleted. When in this state, the ODROID-Go Ultra recharges slower. apart from this, the new Hardkernel gaming device is rated to offer up to 6 hours of continuous gameplay. Furthermore, it runs on the modified version of EmulationStation, which is built upon the Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS and Linux kernel 4.9.277. The device hasa started price of 111 US Dollars and is now available for sales.
