Pros

  • 3:2 screen is perfect for GBA emulation.
  • Build quality not perfect but it is quite decent. At least it doesn’t feel like a cheap device.
  • If you want a cheap device to emulate up until PS1 games, this device gets the job done for a low price.
  • Screen gets really dim, this is good for gaming in the dark.
  • D-pad and face buttons are nice.

Cons

  • No expandable storage. It comes with only one microSD slot.
  • Lack of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
  • Missing volume button.
  • Screen has limited brightness. Only good for indoor gaming.
  • Screen is not good for 4:3 gaming.
  • Device is small and uncomfortable for those with bigger hands.
