R40S Review: Second Look at the Budget Retro Powerhouse

The R40S handheld promised retro bliss for budget gamers. But early reports were brutal! We're revisiting the R40S to see if later production units fixed the nightmarish control issues. Is this a hidden gem or a purchase to avoid?

I was told that the boyhom stock of the old version is limited so they might be selling this better version right now as well.
If you're ordering for them just make sure to ask for the latest version of the device.

Why does it have Jelos instead of Rocknix?

[@AeolusUX]

@@X91X-km7hp Probably used the last stable version when Rocknix was still JELOS. Earliest board was from December so they might’ve forked/compiled it back then while the device is still in development.

@@AeolusUX Ah makes sense. I would speculate that R46S will be a clone of Powkiddy RK2023.
