As we thought, the Q400 is now shipping!
This RK3128 powered machine runs on RetroArch (we think!) and sports a high resolution 800×480 panel, as well as dual analog sticks and four shoulder buttons. The Q400 costs a very reasonable $80 shipped, and should have far better performance than the RG350 and PocketGo v2 handhelds of 2019.
It will be really interesting to see where developers can take this machine this year. I should have mine sometime in May, so will be sure to let you know what I think of it. For more info, check my other post here.
Stock is available now at Supbor.com and AliExpress, and as usual the machine will ship from China.
256MB RAM, yet Aliexpress and the official Subpor sites don’t even mention this in the specs… Why are they intentionally omitting this?
Because 256MB is not worth mentioning
guys, I got Q400 fromTaibao, green one. but, sadly, it is not IPS screen, and the OS version is also the old one.
That’s a shame. It does look like there will be at least two versions of this thing.
We need a black IPS one for $80. Why do these chinese factories always fuck it up in some way? Who the hell buys a yellow one or turquoise one?
I really wish they would stop making these cheap handhelds and give us something premium. People would buy a premium handheld if we could go up to GameCube.
I’m still waiting for the N+ digi dock. Do you guys know the current info regarding the digi dock?
Website often is offline. Anyway this q400 seems great.
Only one thing I don’t like: Micro usb for charge…I think type C is better.
Maybe just now that producer make upgrade (IPS screen) respect first released units, can consider to do also this improvement ?
This website is often offline?
No, no this. I mean supbor website.
First of all, keep up the great work.
Second of all, I found a link for the black one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086ZRRFCR/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_xH6QEb2963DSF
It doesn’t ship until after 5/20 and the price is ridiculous.
This Is old version NO IPS.
It sucks that there’s no black version for this pre-order (as I type this, anyway). It looks pretty slick in black, much less toyish.
Yeah I don’t understand that. The black version is apparently available retail, it’s just that supbor won’t have it straight away for some reason.
I think I will go with Odroid Go Advance.. the A35 Cortex is a bit faster and TBH I think it looks better (and has 4:3 aspect rather than 16:9 which is dumb for retro games)
All that means is that there will be black bars for retro consoles. 480 vertical pixels scales better for most retro consoles, the RG350M’s 640×480 is best in this regard but I’d rather have black bars than fractional, filtered scaling.
Agreed. Black bars are preferable to 320×240 screens to me.
The non IPS version has been selling in China for at least 2 months, the price is 448 RMB (63.26 USD), no mentioning of the IPS upgrade though.

Yep I know. The baidu forums were full of posts about it in Jan.
