The cult favourite that started the modern mini-handheld craze — a genuine "best £40-£80 you can spend on retro gaming" device, and the perfect entry point if you've never owned a dedicated retro handheld before. Its 3.5" full-lamination IPS screen (640×480) is edge-to-edge with a narrow bezel, giving classic GBA and SNES titles a sharper, more vivid look than the originals ever had.

Despite the pocket-friendly size, it's built properly — a solid textured shell, satisfying button travel, and one of the best D-pads in this price bracket. The 3000mAh battery comfortably covers 5–6 hours of play, and Wi-Fi support means online matchmaking and RetroAchievements tracking are both on the table, not just offline single-player.

Available finishes: Purple Clear, Black Clear, Classic Grey/Khaki

Specs at a glance: 3.5" IPS screen (640×480) · 3000mAh battery · Wi-Fi · microSD expansion up to 128GB · RetroArch-based emulator support
