Pros

Unique 4-inch square format display, perfect for early retro handheld console emulation, especially 8-bit games.
Powered by the RK3566 – capable of emulating retro consoles up to 64-bits, including Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PSP, and Nintendo DS.
Its unique 720×720 display goes very well with Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket and Pico 8.
Reasonably priced at $89.99.
PowKiddy didn’t cheap out and provided the RGB30 with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mini HDMI out.
Comes with stereo speakers!
Controls are decent.
