A thin 6-inch 1080p Android handheld with the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, a glass front and a metal frame.
Retro Game Corps ran GameCube and Wii at 3x and most PS2 games at 2.5x to 3x in the balanced power mode.
Retro Game Corps found the flat back less comfortable than gripped rivals and felt heat through the metal band during play.
It has USB-C video out but no headphone jack; Retro Game Corps averaged about 7 hours of battery.

Questions
How well does it run PS2 and GameCube?
We rate both as full speed. Retro Game Corps played them at upscaled resolutions mostly in balanced mode, switching to gaming mode for Champions of Norrath.
What about Switch and PS Vita?
Both are some games. In 2024 Retro Game Corps found the stock GPU drivers caused glitches in many Switch games, and about half of the Vita games it tried ran poorly.
Does it get hot?
Retro Game Corps measured 75 to 80 °C internally in most games and felt warmth through the metal sides even in PS2 and GameCube.
Does it have video out?
Yes, over USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4, according to Retro Game Corps.
