The PSK5000 is a new 5-inch handheld aimed at budget gamers. Available for under $100 globally, the PSK5000 runs Android and should be powerful enough to emulate many classic systems thanks to its MediaTek Helio G85 chipset and 3 GB of LPDDR4X RAM.

Last week, GameMT released the EX8 with a 4.88-inch display and a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset. Now, the company has returned with the Pocket Super Knob 5000 (PSK 5000). Debuting last month, the PSK5000 is less powerful than the EX8 because of its Helio G85 chipset.

Nonetheless, the PSK5000 should be powerful enough to play many games, as proved the case when we reviewed tablets like the Lenovo Tab K9 and the Redmi Pad SE 8.7 (curr. $189.99 on Amazon). Additionally, the PSK5000 adopts a 5-inch IPS display that resolves at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels with 3 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 32 GB of eMMC flash storage.

Moreover, GameMT includes a 4,000 mAh battery that supports 15 W wired charging and up to 512 GB of microSD card expansion. Strangely, the PSK5000 features a performance mode toggle rather than a second joystick. For reference, all this hardware is packaged within a housing that measures 190 x 81 x 13 mm and weighs roughly 195 g.

Currently, the GameMT PSK5000 is cheapest on Alibaba, where it starts at $91 with no microSD card included. Available in black, blue, orange and white colours, the PSK5000 can be configured with a 128 GB microSD card for $100. Alternatively, the handheld can be picked up on Royibeila for $109.99 and AliExpress for around $138.
