Once upon a time, in a world where technology was rapidly advancing, people started to forget the simple pleasures in life. They were so caught up in the latest gadgets and devices that they had forgotten what it felt like to experience true happiness. But a group of like-minded individuals came together with a vision to bring back the joy of simpler times. They founded a brand called Mechdiy, with the goal of providing people with retro handheld game consoles that would take them back to the days of their childhood.
This operating system is awesome. Cannot ask for anything better. I wanted to know are you willing to do the same for the Retroid pocket four pro and the Retroid pocket five.? What about doing the same thing or any ambernic device?
If you are looking for a pocket retro that plays up to ps1 games then Miyoo mini plus is the best. Believe me I have tried like different form factors (vertical horizontal clamshell), models, brands,OS software etc. Miyoo mini V4 or Miyoo mini plus stand out..
Dpad and face buttons: super quet and feels retro
Pocketable: This is a gamechanger. It is pocketsble as it should have been for retro handhelds.
Heat : doesnt get hot that much
Casing: definitely feels well made
Battery Life : 4-6 hours
Needs Accesores: if you have big hands like me you need the grip handle
OS: nothing beats Onion OS
Surwish SD card: for me its a necessity not only the card is branded but it was setup properly by the ones who made it.
The metal shell on the Miyoo Mini V4 really does elevate the feel of the device—giving it that premium, solid-in-hand experience that's hard to beat, especially for such a compact handheld. The printed artwork adds a unique, almost collectible aesthetic that makes each unit feel more personal and special.
If the GKD Pixel 2 adopts a similar approach with anodized or painted metal shells featuring high-quality printed designs, it could really set itself apart in the retro handheld scene. That kind of finish not only improves the tactile feel but also taps into the nostalgia and style many enthusiasts look for. Let's hope they go that route!
Great little handheld, perfect for GBA and older systems. There is no analog sticks if that's important to you, and you cannot get audio out of the USB-C port period (speakers or bluetooth only). Buttons and dpad feel great, tactile enough but not super clacky. If you have a couple hundred bucks burning a hole through your wallet and want a modern day GBA micro type of experience, look no further.
