No store has a current price for this handheld right now.
An Android handheld with a 4.5-inch 1620x1080 3:2 screen and the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, with a d-pad-first layout.
Retro Game Corps ran GameCube and Wii at 3x and PS2 at 2.5x resolution without issues.
The 3:2 screen leaves small black bars for both 4:3 and 16:9 games.
There is no headphone jack; the USB-C port handles audio and video out. Retro Game Corps got about 6 hours of PS2 play.

Questions
How does it handle GameCube and PS2?
We rate GameCube, Wii and PS2 as full speed. Retro Game Corps used 3x resolution in Dolphin and 2.5x for PS2, switching to max mode only for a few heavy games.
Is it good for Switch?
We rate Switch as some games, based on our earlier sources. Retro Game Corps found many games ran in docked mode with the Eden emulator and custom GPU drivers.
Does it have video out?
Yes, over USB-C DisplayPort. Retro Game Corps notes it outputs 3:2 by default, which you can change in AYANEO's settings.
How long does the battery last?
Retro Game Corps measured 12 hours or more for 8- and 16-bit systems, about 6 hours of PS2 and a little over 3 hours of Switch in max mode.
