These XX devices that play everything up to PS1 with some good results for Dreamcast, PSP, and N64. Around $60-80 retail, but often <$50 as here
The mid-level android based devices like the RG CUBE (not really comparable), Retroid 5, Retroid Flip 2, Retroid Mini 2 which will play the 32bit 3D platforms through PS2 including Gamecube. $150-$250 retail, but seldom significantly cheaper.
If you want WiiU, Switch, or PS3, then you're talking a PC-like handheld e.g. SteamDeck, Ally, etc. > $400.
Controls and screen dimensions vary greatly for the low end as the old emulation is less dependent on analog sticks and triggers. I believe there are so many variants because they are cheap and can be nostalgic, but under the hood, the XX devices are all the same. 16x9 or wide screen with more modern controls makes sense for the mid-tier, esp if you want to stream games to PS5, Xbox, or Moonlight/Sunshine.
What makes this one - CubeXX nice as compare to the other XX devices is the higher res, more vertical screen and nicer sticks. If I didn't already have other XX devices, I'd definitely pick this one up.
I don't have a mid tier device as I'm a very casual gamer - just a quick 15-30 minutes here and there. If I were to spend a lot of time on a modern games, I'd do it on a Steamdeck or Ally. I dabble in the mid-tier by using an older Samsung S20FE and a Gamesir G8 Galileo to see what it would be like - but there seems to be a lot more customization required in the mid-tier and I just don't have time.

"Playable with heavy limitations."
AKA I wouldn't get it with any sort of hopes of playing GameCube games.
"Playable with heavy limitations."
That means some 2D simpler games will run at a lower than norm frame rate with likely garbled sound/audio.
Well aware.
