IriSoft Clickd

The iriSoft Clickd is an handheld video game console made by iriSoft in July 2019. It is an ARM-based handheld, boasting an powerful semi-custom Snapdragon 710 CPU, paired with an Adreno 616 GPU and impressive storage and RAM, that money can buy. People praised the handheld for it's "more for less" strategy, an good game library, and impressive graphics.

Development
In mid-2018, iriSoft planned to step into the video game industry by creating an powerful handheld console. So they made an prototype of an 6-inch handheld console with an 5 inch LED display, codenamed "Lemon", just like how iriSoft uses fruit names as codenames, like "Project Mango" which became the RiseBook. It ran an early version of the Clickd system software. The system was announced on August 2018 as "Project Lemon". iriSoft CEO, Rian Lamar, called the system "an handheld game console which fits into your personality, and features powerful processing, into an 6-inch portable console that can stay on your side anytime, anywhere". During Q1 2019, its official name was revealed, called the iriSoft Clickd. Rian Lamar said "The "clickd" in the name means that it takes 2 taps to enter your game". Then pre-orders were available, that came in black, white, and "Skyline", which is purple on the front, and neon blue on the back, with an purple-blue gradient on the sides of the console. The console was officially released on July 2, 2019. In 2021, iriSoft changed the sides of the console from flat to curved to make the console more ergonomic, some buttons were repositioned, the Clickd logo was added on top of the display, and an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+, therefore boosting performance, however, the price was increased to $459.99. The price was shortly lowered down to 379.99 due to customers complaining about the luxury pricetag.

User interface
The Clickd has its own OS, called ClickOS, an Linux-based OS. Its user interface is SnapShell, and it was praised for its modern UI. On startup, the user is greeted with the Clickd startup screen, and then is greeted with the lock screen. The lock screen displayed notifications and the date and time. If a PIN is on the console, an PIN unlock dialog will be shown. Then after that, the user is greeted with an blue (default) background with floating particles, and the app icons zoom out and bounce one by one. The UI bared resemblance to the PlayStation Vita, though, for the circular app icons and the bouncing animations on unlock, but some games utilize an square app icon. The background color can be changed in the Settings app. When a user holds on an game, they can review the game on the Clickd Store, view videos and screenshots from users, and the option to uninstall the game, but the uninstall feature is absent if the game is on a Click Card.

Hardware
The Clickd's SoC is able to render complex 3D graphics, and the CPU made the console very fast, and can take less than 8 seconds to boot up an game like Xing Odyssey. However, the aforementioned game's port had an bug where people's Clickd consoles overheated and/or randomly shut down during certain cutscenes due to an CPU/GPU overload. A week after people complained about it, Axis Games, the developer of Xing Odyssey released an "urgent update" to the port on the Clickd Store, which made people much happier. It had 128 or 256GB of flash memory, which was groundbreaking for 429 US dollars, and can store 50+ of lightweight games, or an few heavy-weight games. This made the Clickd a huge success, selling 46 million units as of April 2022.
