Pros

Beautiful, premium, and minimalist design. It’s easily one of the best-looking devices Anbernic has ever released. Device feels great on the hands as well.
Impressive 4-inch display with thin bezels, giving the device a premium feel and making it punch well above its price range.
Controls are solid, similar to those found on other H700 series devices.
The H700 chip plays up to PS1 games with no issues. Some Dreamcast, N64 and PSP games may require tweaking.
Various custom firmware are available at launch thanks to the multitude of other H700 devices.

Cons

The analog stick has a limited range of movement and tends to snap to the cardinal directions.
Screen doesn’t get dim enough, which might be too bright for low-light environments.
Sacrifices ergonomics for aesthetics, prioritizing its design over comfort during extended gameplay sessions.
