Review: Small cute and affordable handheld - Very cute product, and is incredibly powerful for the price range. Playing something such as Mario 64 may last the battery as long as 15-20+ hours, I believe. The screen is incredibly vibrant too. It prompts you through a super simple startup guide that installs apps like Citra, Retroarch, Dolphin, the like. Stuff you're used to with these kinds of handhelds lol. Thank GOSH it's another product that also has Google Play services disabled by default. It is already incredibly powerful but RAM hogs such as those services are good to keep to a minimum :) I just flipped it on when I needed to install some of my paid games like Terraria and Minecraft lol. Which those run great by the way! From the Android native games I tested- Terraria, Fortnite, and Minecraft- they ran great. You'll have no problem with Java MC through Pojav either. Anyway, retro games are of course going to play great and even up to a certain "small" company's console that released in March of 2017 runs well on it too.. But you will have to pick and choose certain settings and not everything will work. TOTK for example is not going to be a very smooth experience. Something like Wonder though will run.. Wonderously.. 😏 Unfortunately for me, the product was too small for my hand size ergonomically, but take this as a potential plus as it's definitely marketed this way! It's about the same width standing up tall as my iPhone 15 Pro, plus an added inch and a half or two for the controls. It fits in the pocket which is a super bonus. So if you're into relatively the Vita form factor and can see your hands working on the joystick positioning on the bottom, I say GO FOR IT. It's going to be hard to beat this quality and size at this price range.
Review: Absolute best retro game console - I did a lot of research before hand and got this for a Xmas present for my teen. This is by far the most affordable and best quality retro game console. It’s actually consistently on top five list and considered a mid price but functions like a very top end system. It fits perfectly in my son’s large man sized hands comfortably. It sets up easily and is very sleek. It plays all his favorite games and he’s so happy! A big win for this mama!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! I recommend for any emulator fan.
*by T***9 on December 27, 2025*

I love mine! It is Android based so if you already know Android OS, setup is just downloading your favorite emulator from the Play store and finding ROMs from websites using the Chrome browser. Because I am experienced, I was able to setup everything in about 5-10 minutes. The screen is very vibrant and the buttons feel and function well. It runs smoothly with no issues yet. If you're someone like me that likes grip in your palms, buy the extender/grip case for it. No issues with performance. It plays like a mini Nintendo Switch.
