First impressions.
New case design (ish), held together with snap tabs and a self tapping screw. The case is thinner than the original but by no means bad quality.
Has the new kernel on it and thus does not have a DS mode (flashme DS force booting DS mode on the GBA slot whitescreened)
Memory is the standard 16 megabytes of PSRAM and 32 megabytes of NOR (I tested Mother 3 and it fit as you can see in the gallery image of it)
I can not rule out being sent a nicely selected one (it did come with a small game on the NOR, presumably as a test) but let us not be too cynical.
PCB soldering quality is far better than previous images of the new EZ4. Outside edges are a bit rough but nothing to write home about.
Battery is a new size for the EZ4 (possibly explaining the modified front case) in being a CR2025 (previously it was a VL2020 for the originals and supposedly a non rechargeable 2020 for the later models)
SDHC slot is a side facing sprung loaded one, slightly fiddly to get to.
You have some PCB shots in the gallery for fans of numbers then on the back side there is

http://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/192/M6MGT321S4TP-pdf.php might be a datasheet. Looks like the standard NOR-SRAM combo they have used for years (though previous models might have been M6MGT321S8TP)

Seems popular among China/HK chip suppliers,
http://www.datasheetarchive.com/dl/Datasheets-IS68/DSAH00171355.pdf would appear to be a datasheet.
The battery is right across the top side chip and I am not up for desoldering it for this. At first glance/comparing traces to my launch EZ4 it is a pretty similar chip, if it is was then
http://uk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Altera-Corporation/EPM240T100C5N/?qs=jblrfmjbeiHmgaW5DQXOiw== is the chip in question (an altera EPM240T100C5N CPLD). If mouser are still willing to sell me one (though with a decent lead time) then it is still possible that it or a pin compatible descendant are being used.
