The Helegaly Action Pi is a budget Linux handheld built around a 4.02-inch 960×720 4:3 IPS display and the relatively uncommon Allwinner A527 platform. Its octa-core Cortex-A55 CPU, Mali-G57 graphics, 2GB of memory, 5000mAh battery, Hall-effect sticks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Mini HDMI output give it notably more capability than many RK3566-class handhelds. Strong ergonomics, a bright display, and good Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, and PSP performance make it a compelling low-cost option, although the narrow shoulder buttons, basic Batocera software experience, and limited long-term support hold it back from scoring higher.
