The LILYGO T-Display P4 is a pocket-sized solution that could be mistaken at first glance for a smartphone, but will reveal its dev kit capabilities upon closer inspection. The device measures in at 0.9-inches in thickness and is paired with a 4.1-inch display on the front that gives it a smartphone-like design. The unit is equipped with an ESP32-P4 system on a chip to give it a low-power functionality, while still offering access to two RISC-V cores.
The LILYGO T-Display P4 is also paired with an ESP32-C6 chip for offering WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 connectivity, and also features a 2MP MIPI camera, nine-axis motion sensor, microSD card reader, two USB-C ports and more. The device is available now in two options.
