Pros

Excellent build quality.
Pocketable and meets the fine balance between size and portability.
Display has thin bezels and is perfect for 4:3 aspect ratio games. Devices with 4 inches 4:3 aspect ratio displays are rare in the market.
At lowest brightness, display is dim and suitable to play in darker rooms.
Higher screen to body ratio than competition.
The Unisoc T618 provides solid gaming performance to the device. You should be able to play quite a bit of PS2 and GameCube games, albeit at lower resolutions.
