    Love mine.
    Refuse to upgrade until we get another clamshell in high specs.
    If its not a clamshell and small enough to throw in a regular pocket its not a handheld imo.

    I put 128gb sd card it worked I like it I own one sitting on my desk. I found 5c battery on amazon long battery life. You can put pocket go v1 firmware add fix screen tearing fix’s pretty good. Runs up to
    Ps1 at 25-30fps depending on game.

    Totally underrated part of this device: Getting into fiddling with emulators.
    Yes, this works out of pocket, but anyone who really wants to play their old roms or romhacks is probably gonna be disappointed with the pretty weak stock snes emulation and the weird roms.
    The device is cheap, but it's not hard to fiddle with it to get it to a really good state.
    1. Replace the SD card with a real sandisk or similar micro sd, and install the miyoo crf on it. Install any tailor-made emulators for it, and put your roms into the appropriate folders.
    2. Overclock it to 798 through the emulator options, and you won't see almost any problems running 16 bit games, especially if you turn off transparency (causes some visual weirdness but makes the games super smooth).
    3. Replace the battery with a quality 1500-1600 mAh, and keep the brightness and volume as low as you can while still enjoying it.
    Combine all of that, a lot of which involves completely free steps esp if you have sandisks+readers around your house, and what you've got is a clamshell snes+gba that runs games perfectly on really nice and responsive controls that can last for over 10 hours. And if you mess something up or brick the system along the way, there's little consequence!
    I was super afraid to do tech fiddling until I got it, but it's great to get into that sort of stuff. Way less risk than trying to install cfw on a DS/3DS or something similar.

    I really like the form factor but it sucks that it doesn't have battery saves built in within the emulators. You have to make sure to power save.

    thank you for the review, i realized that i began enjoying them much more recently ;D
    i got one of those, also yellow, arrived last month, great value for the price u pay for it. u are absolutely right, no high expectations here but still a very solid little unit. i got it mainly for the collection and of course, as rightfully mentioned, how many clamshell retro handhelds are there, right? next to none, so yeah, take my money AliExpress.
