KTR1 S Revealed In New Photos

Meet the KTR1 S — the handheld that didn’t just ask for an upgrade, it threw its old self into a time machine and came back with better bones.

Retro Gaming with Deadfred just dropped photos of the KTR1 S, and it’s got a serious hardware glow-up: swapping out the tired Helio G99 for MediaTek’s fresher, faster Dimensity 7300. That means quad A78 cores, a beefier Mali-G615 GPU, and a 4nm chip that actually wants to run PS2 games without wheezing. No more “it works… kinda.” Now it’s “it crushes.”

But here’s the real kicker: customization. Want a magnesium shell instead of plastic? Prefer 3:2 over 4:3? Like your thumbsticks positioned like a pro gamer who just won a tournament in their pajamas? The S model says, “You got it.” It’s not just a refresh—it’s a personalized retro experience.

The original KTR1 was already a niche darling. This? It’s the luxury edition. Will it be worth the premium? Maybe. But if you’ve ever wished your handheld could double as both a gaming device and a statement piece… this might be the one. Pre-orders are rumored to drop soon—best hurry before they sell out in obsidian black.
