Retroid Pocket 4 Pro Review – The Best $199 Retro Handheld?
I have reviewed a lot of handhelds over the last few years and GoRetroid is a company that keeps pushing the boundaries of affordable emulation in a form factor that’s comfortable, easy to use and pleasing to look at. They have had a few hiccups in the past, some incredibly unprofessional for that matter, but […]
ANBERNIC RG35XX Plus Review – A Near Flawless $65 Handheld
ANBERNIC has been on a roll this year, throwing more handhelds out the door than I have had hot dinners. The first of the year was the original RG35XX, a handheld that I personally didn’t like too much due to its average performance and terrible shoulder buttons.

Today’s review is based on my own personal experience with what is probably my favorite handheld of 2023 – the Powkiddy RGB30. What makes it particularly special is the unique 4 inch square format display.

Retroid Pocket 2S Review – The Best Handheld Under $100?

But instead they took one step back… and two steps forward with this device. The Retroid Pocket 2S is incredibly similar […]

TJD T80 is Another Handheld Monster You Probably Shouldn’t Buy
The new TJD T80 is an Android-based handheld monster that is giving us déjà vu, as it is nearly identical to the TJD T101. But where the TJD T101 focuses on Windows gaming, the new T80 will have its focus on Android applications and pure emulation power. It is truly living up to their tagline […]

What Is The Future of Handhelds?
If you have followed the emulation handheld scene for the past few years, then you have probably had some of the same contrasting feelings that I have had: excitement & boredom, satisfaction & disillusion, fear of missing out & buyers remorse. I find myself swaying between feeling happy & content with what I have and […]
