Powkiddy has expanded the RGB20 series with a new option. Previously restricted to the RGB20S and RGB20SX, the series now also consists of the RGB20 Pro that features a comparatively large battery, a high-resolution display and a more powerful chipset than its series stablemates.

Powkiddy has now opened pre-orders for the RGB20 Pro, roughly two months after early details emerged online. For context, Powkiddy's latest release is the third in the RGB20 series after the RGB20S and RGB20SX (curr. $95.99 on Amazon). While their names would imply a degree of similarity between the three devices, that does not wholly extend to their designs.

For example, the RGB20 Pro actually has the smallest display of three at 3.2-inches. By contrast, Powkiddy equips the RGB20S and RGB20SX with 3.5-inch and 4-inch displays, respectively. With that being said, the RGB20 Pro has a comparatively high-resolution panel, unlike its series siblings. Unsurprisingly, Powkiddy has complemented this 1,024 x 768-pixel panel with a more powerful chipset.

Specifically, Powkiddy has gone with the Rockchip RK3566, which utilises four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 1.8 GHz and a Mali-G52 GPU. Moreover, the RGB20 Pro contains a 5,000 mAh battery for up to ten hours of playtime on a single charge, 1 GB of LPDDR4 RAM and dual MicroSD card support, all within a 150.2 x 83.3 x 23.3 mm housing.

On top of that, Powkiddy has included Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. Currently, Powkiddy is offering the device in grey, green, sky blue and yellow colour options. Added to that, it is selling four memory options, starting at $69.99 with a 16 GB MicroSD card. Please note that only the first 500 pre-orders will be fulfilled around mid-October; please see Powkiddy's website for more details.
