coupon also not working for me unless I have another item in my cart. It won't let me remove items from my cart afterwards though. Does anyone have a suggestion for a cheap US shipped item I can use in my cart?

Edit: The coupon seems to be working now. Weird.

What other consoles should we be considering for the same price? I also have an old Motorola z2 force which has a snapdragon 835 with 4GB ram.

Still overpriced even at this price. Very old, weak, chip. Doesnt support Rocknix. You are better off paying $80 more for a RP5

RP5 is getting returned as we speak, extremely uncomfortable to use for anyone who has a big hands like me. The thumb to button movement is very uncomfortable since the buttons should have been placed further in and not further to the outside. In general overall grip and hold aspect is not comfortable at all. Again this is for anyone who has large hands, aka xbox controller very comfortable for me and even the old xbox controllers.

The rp5 has an even older chip than the t820. It's not weak, just underpowered for anything above GC and PS2

Well I had to bite on this deal. I got an email from PayPal about getting $20 back if I used their pay in 4 months option. Hopefully I qualified for the offer.

It certainly says something that a chip that is 3 years older than the T820 is significantly faster than it. At 125 dollars this is somewhat competitive. At full price of 150-160 I wouldn't even consider this.

And saying it's underpowered for anything above PS2 and GC is stretching the truth. This device has issues running a number of PS2 games. I would say it's good enough for the majority of PS2's library but I wouldn't buy this as a dedicated PS2 emulator.

"full price" is basically BS on AliExpress, you should look at the price history manually or from deals.

What is the normal price for the 406h then?
The fact it got 23 upvotes when it was 130 tells me it's usually higher than that.

The RG406H has only been out for 5 months but the historical low was around $120 ish. If you want good value, you'll have to wait a year+. For example the TrimUI Smart Pro and Powkiddy X55 were close to $100 a year to a year and a half ago but are now under $50 on sale. The rg35xxsp was $70+ last year and went on sale for $35 a couple weeks back.

There was a great page that someone posted in another deal that showed all of these handheld;, their models and different capabilities. It was really helpful but I don't think I saved it and it was definitely bookmark material.

Once the de minimis exception is gone on May 2, this handheld (and all others) will get 145% more expensive due to tariffs. So if you want any electronics direct shipped from China, now is your last chance before the price increases.

I have a RG35XXH and love it. Playing through GBA Fire Emblem right now. There are some creature comfort things I want more than power... I'm at work, but I'll do some research this afternoon if I can.

Is there any chance this has bluetooth audio (the RG35XX series sort of does, but it's hacky) and then is there any chance this has usb-c video out through a dock? I really would like to be able to use a Steamdeck/computer dock to play on TV, and not have to run an extra microHDMI
