We've tracked prices for 26 days. We need 30 days before we can say whether today's price is a good one.
For players who want a very small horizontal handheld: a 2.83-inch 640x480 screen in a 127 g body with no analog sticks.
Retro Game Corps found the small D-pad accurate but the face buttons small and the shoulder buttons rattly.
We rate GB, SNES, Genesis and PS1 as full speed, N64 and Dreamcast as most games, and PSP as some games.
There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and Retro Game Corps found the screen dim with poor viewing angles.

What it plays
Every rating links to the review or table it comes from. A system with no rating has not been tested by a source we use, which is not the same as not playable.
Most games, yes. Retro Game Corps found most Dreamcast games playable, some with frame skip, but games that need N64 C-buttons or an analog stick are limited by the D-pad-only controls.
Is PSP playable?
Only a few games. Retro Game Corps found full-speed PSP titles few and far between, so we rate PSP as some games.
Does it have video out?
Yes, mini-HDMI. Retro Game Corps found it works with hot-plugging, but games stretch to 16:9 unless you set a custom aspect ratio in RetroArch.
Does it run custom firmware?
Knulli supports it. Retro Game Corps noted at launch that the rotated screen kept other H700 firmware from booting.
