For those looking to buy, the miyoo mini plus is pretty neat. Also Anbernic devices (RGXYZ) are always good.
Retroid makes some good stuff too.
I have a bunch of devices. Steam Deck, Miyoo Mini, Retroid Pocket 3+, Analogue Pocket, modded 3DS, and various modded Gameboys.
For most retro games, I find myself reaching for the RP3+ the most. Don't get me wrong, all the other devices are great too, but it's a great size and works without fuss up through PSP.
And for value/$, it's hard to go wrong with any of the trending emulation devices, be it from Anbernic, Miyoo, or Retroid.
Retroid and the newer Anbernic devices running Android don't appeal to me as much personally. I really like the charm of a dedicated Linux OS. Just something about connecting my Google account that really kills it for me.
Aside from that, retroid makes pretty solid devices too from what I understand.
Don't the miyoo devices go in stock for like 2 minutes s couple times a month? I was checking for a while at one point and only saw it in stock once over the span of weeks.
Edit: I see that the plus it's actually a new device with a easier to source, but worse, screen. That's unfortunate.
