Pros

  • Solid and premium build quality.
  • D-pad is one of the best in the handheld market. Perfect if you are a fan of fighting games.

Cons

  • Battery life is more like 4 to 6 hours, rather than the advertised 6 to 8 hours.
  • Slow bootup time.
  • Comes with a single mono speaker, which could limit the audio experience. Would have been better if it was stereo.
  • Software is too restricted, limiting customization and usability.
  • At $70, it’s close to the price range of more capable devices.
