GKD held a livestream yesterday and while it was restricted to QQ, we have some details and photos of their upcoming lineup. After months of rumors about a 350H comeback, we finally have our first clear look at what GKD is calling the GKD 350H Ultra, and it seems like a modernized, metal reboot of their original 3.5‑inch handheld, with some notable upgrades.
On a QQ livestream, GKD’s founder Lao Zhang showed off a compact horizontal unit with a 3.5″ screen, left analog stick, big d-pad, stacked shoulders, and a chunky metal shell (and maybe a brazenly familiar font). Earlier leaks line up with this design, with some outlets claiming the 350H Ultra jumps from the old 320×240 panel to a 1600×1440 display aimed at ultra‑clean Game Boy scaling, likely the same panel AYANEO is using in the Pocket Vert.
Specs are still under wraps, but we’re hoping for a more capable chip than the ancient RK3326. Pricing has yet to be announced, but the new display and metal body could see it jumping from the original’s budget pricing.
Then there is the other mystery device: the so‑called Pixel 2.5. In that same GKD stream, keen eyes spotted a thicker, stretched‑out Pixel‑style handheld in the background. It looks like a modified GKD Pixel II: same general layout and ports, but with a longer metal shell and extra face buttons along one side marked X, B, and A.
The theory is that this thing is a Pixel variant meant to better accommodate vertical games through extra side buttons, maybe pitched at the tiny TATE arcade crowd. Shoulder buttons, SD slot, and most IO appear identical to the current Pixel 2, so the big changes would likely be ergonomics, possibly a larger battery with the extra case space, and those extra inputs.
Whether GKD actually brands it as a “Pixel 2.5” or keeps it as a quiet revision is still unknown. For now, all we can say for sure is that GKD has a metal 350H Ultra on the way and a revised Pixel‑style handheld waiting in the wings.
