GKD Tease Two New Metal Handhelds

If you thought GKD’s retro‑handhelds were stuck in a time capsule, think again—yesterday’s QQ livestream proved the company is polishing its metal armor for a new generation of pocket power.

First up is the GKD 350H Ultra, a sleek, horizontal slab that keeps the beloved 3.5″ screen but swaps the old 320×240 panel for a jaw‑dropping 1600×1440 display—essentially the same retina‑sharp screen AYANEO uses in its Pocket Vert. The chassis is now a solid metal shell with a chunky left stick, generous D‑pad and stacked shoulder buttons, plus that unmistakable GKD font that fans love. Specs are still under wraps, but we’re hoping for a chip upgrade beyond the ancient RK3326, which could push the price out of “budget” territory.

The second mystery is a Pixel 2.5—a taller, metal‑cased version of the existing Pixel II. It sports extra side buttons (X, B, A) aimed at vertical‑gaming and TATE arcade fans, while retaining the familiar shoulder layout, SD slot and IO. The longer body likely means a bigger battery too.

Bottom line: GKD is ready to roll out a premium metal 350H Ultra and a subtly revamped Pixel handheld—both promising sharper screens and sturdier builds for anyone still nostalgic enough to game on a pocket console.
