I wonder if this will end up being the updated version of the Powkiddy V90 a lot of people have been asking for and if this will end up being the direct competition to the Miyoo Mini Flip despite it's lack of thumb sticks.

I feel like custom firmware availability and whether or not there are blatant design issues (ex. faulty hinges like the Retroid Pocket Flip) will decide how well this does.

How about you? Any thoughts?

Nostalgia is a common target.

Here's the Powkiddy A30 for example. It looks a lot like the original GBA.

And here's the Powkiddy V90 I mentioned above

A lot of handhelds have a handheld emulator lookalike. They'll sometimes even release multiple versions or models in different sizes and colors

If you are talking about a similar form factor I feel like there's already several.
