Pros

Clamshell form factor!
Easy to use out of the box.
Very good battery life.
Overall very good performance across many systems.
One of the best value clamshell retro gaming device money can buy.

Cons

Hinge doesn’t allow the screen to be opened all the way flat.
Disappointing performance emulating PS2 games.
Analog sliders not as good or as responsive as analog sticks.
It basically is a Retroid Pocket 3+ in a clamshell form factor. There is no meaningful hardware or software improvement.
The device looks empty in the lower half where the controls are.
