The Wiz has a considerably more slim and compact form factor than that of the GP2X. The Wiz also has a fairly large amount of built in flash memory, which will be used to hold games that will be included with the system. OLED screens are supposed to have a much faster response time than that of standard LCD screens, as well as increased brightness and an increased viewing angle.

The Wiz started off with dual Dpads. This decision was ill recieved by the GP32X community, and so GPH changed the design and split the second Dpad into four seperate buttons.
