The casing feels sturdy even with its see-through casing. However, on the top of the console where the black plastic stripe meets the crystal case, you can see a slight bulge on either side of the hotkey. (The review unit is of the crystal clear type.) The latest addition to the K101 Plus is the crystal clear case which comes in 3 types: crystal black, crystal blue or crystal clear. Views from different sides: Front, Left Side, Right Side, Top, Bottom, Back And sure enough, the K101 Plus felt comfortable when placed in my palms. This setup is my personal favourite as it feels more natural and ergonomic when it comes to handling the console.

If you’re familiar with the original K101, you know what to expect. Since the K101 Plus mostly addresses the software issues of its predecessor, there has not been any modifications regarding the hardware. Let's see those goodies in more detail, shall we?

The box itself is made of a relatively strong cardboard material, providing additional protection for its contents. The Revo K101 Plus comes in a sleek black rectangular two part box with a matte finish and a minimalist design of the device itself. Now that the techy parts have been revealed, let's take a look at the actual hardware! Packaging and Contents On-board DRAM comes into play only when K-Card is used and works by accepting the entire ROM. The K-Card is an access device letting the contents of the microSD card to be consumed by the SoC, and acts as a storage device as well to save files. The Revo K101 uses a special memory interface that lets the GBA cartridge interface be "emulated" via a modern DMA and DRAM interface. The system achieves a high compatibility rate via implementation technology which can handle sound, graphic, and data communications in all engines on the System On A Chip (SoC). The ARM9 is the master CPU for every other function. The ARM7 controls the sound and 2D dedicated graphic hardware. The Revo K101 runs on ARM7 and ARM9 CPUs. If you are not too familiar with the device here are a few words about how it works, excerpted from the official website: Battery - Nokia clone BL-5B 3.7v 890mAh Li-ion rechargeable. ![]()
