I’m fairly new to handhelds and just bought one on a whim probably a year ago now but it has become one of my favourite things.
There are so many options that I’m hoping people here can post pictures and give me their opinions on some that I might have overlooked.
I’m too lazy to get off my couch for pictures, but here’s what I currently have and a few I’ve had in the past.
Current
Anbernic RG 40XXV - I stepped up from the 35XXV after giving that to a friend. The 40 is fine, but a little larger than is comfortable for me with a vertical handheld. Mostly just use the stick for Retroarch shortcuts.
Anbernic RG 34XXSP - I had the original Anbernic SP, but it was a little thick and the buttons were SO loud. This is great for a GBA machine. Sadly, I dropped it and the screen has been wonky since.
Previous
Anbernic RG 35XX - I miss it. For me, this is the perfect handheld for retro games. I don’t want or expect anything past the 16-bit / GBA era on it. I should probably pick up a new one.
Miyoo Mini - Amazing entry device and I can understand people keeping it for its portability, but it was just a little TOO mini for my older eyes to play RPGs on.
PowKiddy v90 & v10 - I loved the v90 before Anbernic and Miyoo caught up to the clamshell form factor. Terrible UI and power, but it felt good for what it was. The v10 was nice, but I don’t like the squatness of the control area.
Future
Retroid Pocket 6 - Ordered a month ago, still hasn’t shipped. Really looking forward to some GameCube on the go.
I’ve been looking at the Retroid P6 as my next purchase so come back and tell us how it is when you finally get your hands on it.
Here’s hoping I get it before the Steam Machine is released!
