Further up the list are GameCube, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 2 and Wii U, with Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 3 sitting at the top of its compatibility list. Active cooling with a heatsink, fan and ventilation cutouts helps sustain performance during long sessions.
The 5.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen runs at 1920 x 1080 in a 16:9 format, with a density of roughly 400 ppi at 60 Hz. OCA-laminated tempered glass reduces reflections and makes the image look like it sits right on the surface.
The control layout is complete: dual Hall Effect thumbsticks with L3/R3 in a symmetric arrangement, a cross D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons, L1/R1 and analog L2/R2 triggers, plus Home, Back, Power and dedicated volume buttons. Rumble, a gyroscope and a microphone round out the experience. The plastic body measures 199.2 x 78.5 x 15.6 mm and weighs 280 g.
The 5000 mAh battery charges over USB-C, a port that also provides video output to a TV or monitor. Connectivity includes WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, while audio comes from front-facing dual stereo speakers or the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Android 15 provides an open environment where you can pick your preferred emulators and front-ends, install apps and organize your library however you like.
Ideal for: players who want a powerful Android handheld with a Full HD AMOLED screen, Hall Effect sticks and broad platform coverage, from classic retro all the way to PlayStation 2 and GameCube, at a reference price of $219.
