Popular modding website FunnyPlaying has announced they are launching a new Gameboy-inspired Android handheld called the Retro Pixel Pocket. The difference with this model is that they’re aiming for a sub $100 price tag.

As the video below states, this is an early prototype, but it’s clear it’s going for the Gameboy look, with four face buttons and two bumpers on the back, allowing you to play a number of emulated handhelds and consoles up to the PS1 era.

It’s pretty low spec, not surprisingly given the price, but it’s plenty for what it’s trying to achieve:

• 3.1″ IPS Display (720 x 720)
• 8GB Internal Storage
• 1.3GHZ Quad-Core AllWinner A64 CPU
• Mali-400 MP2 GPU
• 1GB RAM
• 3000MAH Battery
• MicroSD Slot
• USB-C Charging
• WiFi

The device is due to ship this autumn.
