I have both the Brick/Miyoo Mini v4 and a bit over half a dozen of devices of this kind from Anbernic/Retroid/Miyoo/Trimui.

Biggest reason to buy a Brick (and why it took over the hobby by storm) is the insanely bright/sharp screen on it which is rare in devices of this price bracket. It's an absolute joy to play outside, and shaders look outstanding on it. Processor is also slightly more powerful than most, which makes GBA/DS run better on it (specially with fast forward).

Comfort, controls, and night use are honestly the Brick's weakest aspect. The buttons are clicky (though precise) and slightly hard to press. And its square industrial design look good but isn't super comfortable as it digs into your hands. Overall it can get tiring to play the Brick in very long sessions. Also, the screen is too a tad too bright to play in bed at night with all the lights off, which is a bit of a shame. (it's doable, I've done it, but its bright enough to bother some)

Miyoo Mini v4 is slightly smaller than the Brick, but the mushy buttons + more round shape make it more ergonomic. Miyoo Mini Plus is slightly larger though. Albeit both Miyoo devices are a lot weaker than the Brick (they struggle with GBA/Fast Forward/Shaders) and have a screen that's a LOT dimmer and difficult to play outside, even in the shade. Even indoors if you have windows the screen can feel way too dim to enjoy some darker games which makes me hesitant to bring it to some places.

If comfort for longer play sessions is a big requirement or you have very large hands, I'd stick to larger devices like the RG40XX, RG405V, or horizontal devices. Albeit personally, I think the biggest draw of devices like these is that they are small enough to take anywhere for short 5-15 minute play sessions anywhere. They are small enough to feel like a thick credit card or micro wallet. I have semi large hands and I really enjoy mi Miyoo Mini v4 and Brick and carry one of the two everywhere I go. Whereas anything larger like my RG405M / RP Mini / RP5 requires a stronger conscious decision to bring due to their weight/size/bulk

I have both and I don't find a whole lot of difference between them. The TrimUI is a bit nicer in build quality I think. I'd have said go with the Miyoo for OnionOS, but now you can run Knulli on the brick so they both have good OS options. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Is it more comfortable than a miyoo? I found the miyoo to be too small for my hands.

Just looking around a bit, and it seems that most PSP games don't REQUIRE an analog stick.

Some games may handle better with it, but not necessary.

I bought one of these the last time it was $40, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. My only other emulation handheld is a Retroid Pocket 2S, which I love, but this one is so nice and small that it's much easier to toss in my purse and take everywhere. You can't go wrong with the Brick at this price!

I went with the RG Cube XX but this is still one of the best in class handhelds!! For 40$ its a no brainer if you like retro games at all.

All sold except the white one it seems. I was able to snag a purple one yesterday and it looks like it just shipped.

While this (and the Smart Pro which uses the same chipset) will emulate some PSP games with ok performance, you should think of that more as a bonus.

If you are primarily interested in PSP, this is probably not the device you want to buy. In that case I'd look for a used PSP or a more powerful retro device with a better screen aspect ratio.

FWIW, I have both a Magicx mini zero 28 and a Anbernic RG34XXSP and I tend to use the analog sticks even on games released way before analogs were common (Mario, Zelda, Metroid). I personally thinks having analog sticks is a must unless someone just has to have the no analog aesthetic.
*Now, they probably don't work too well for old school fighting games but you always have the option of either.

If you buy this, make sure to shred your credit cards and change residences. Nintendo will hunt you down like a dog if and when they hear you've been emulating their 40 year old games!

The Nintendo Ninjas. If you even look at a GBA .rom, they'll brick your switch and every other nintendo console you've ever owned or will own.

I'm only being half facetious.
