Has anyone tried the PocketGo Q90?

[Ataxion]

I found it on AliExpress and it seems to have good reviews and it is around 37 dollars. I want to get it to play some gba games and want to know if it is good at that.

From reading a few reviews, the original Pocket-Go is quite good, whereas the newer Q90 is worse in almost every way but has a bigger screen and battery.

Aside from lagging in a couple of GB Advance games, like Metroid: Zero MIssion, it seems like the Pocket-Go, not the Q90, is a solid choice.

The listing I found on AliExpress has pictures of the original pocketgo but says that it is a q90 so I don't know which one it is could you please check it out

Ah, didn't notice that.

Well if you're going to spend $45-ish, the Razer Kishi recommendation in your other thread might be the logical choice if you have a decent Android phone.

Yeah I guess I'll probably do that because I do have a note 20 ultra. I was just hoping to have a separate mini handheld but I guess the phone is better.

You have a flagship $1300 smartphone and you're anal about spending under $40 for a cheap handheld...
