Good list. Loving that pronunciation of 'homage'!

Good vid, only one I don't agree with is the Bubble. I got one and thought it was E waste in the purest form. Still using the decade old gkd UI and plastics that feel like kids toys from the dollar store. If they sold it at $40 or less it would still be bottom of that range since the Miyoo Mini reigns king in that spot. GKD have yet to change with the times and improve or even let the community work their magic and make a good custom os for any of their devices. The rest of the list was great, good job.

Quality video. I'm totally with you on the left analogue stick position being above the d-pad!

I’ve had an RG406v since Xmas and I’ve noticed that around a month in the screen started to peel or something in the corners under the glass screen protector I put on immediately.
Kind of lame but it’s still working great!

I own most of these consoles but the 406v is the one I’ve had the most problems with

I like the choices here and glad to see the Brick again. The RP mini for #1 is an interesting choice. Lastly, did you take the RG34XX to a bar? Lol should be an interesting gaming experience.

Great picks.
my trio combo is odin 2 + rp mini + trimui brick i dont need anything alse. i sold every handheld that i owned. (20+)

[@dahak2112]

100% agree on your top pick. Controversial to some, but the screen (especially on the black units) combined with the device pocketability make it my daily driver. Though not covered by the video, the ergonomics and position of the right stick and buttons make for great vertical/TATE play for arcade (sometimes one handed like with Pac-Man), Vectrex, and Nintendo DS. Additionally, Rocknix can be dual booted for Xbox games (now at correct speed or close via Vulkan driver support) and better N64 performance with some games (also because of Vulkan.)

To me retroid pocket mini has loud clicky face buttons
