This is an interesting device and a great value at this price point. If you want the most powerful retro device available at under $100, this really can't be beat.
As far as consoles it can play, you can expect pretty much all PSP games to play at full speed. So anything PSP and earlier will play flawlessly (PS1, Dreamcast, etc.). Sega Saturn games will still be hit or miss. This will play some lighter PS2 and GameCube games, but just consider these consoles a bonus.

AI Overview +4 The Unisoc T820 is significantly more powerful than the Snapdragon 662, featuring a faster, more modern CPU, a stronger GPU, and support for 5G. The Snapdragon 662 uses an older 11nm process with a less capable Adreno 610 GPU and lacks 5G, making it suitable for basic tasks and light gaming but falling short of the T820's capabilities.
Got the 406H for $100 recently, so this device is weaker, but has a 5.5 screen... I guess it's a tradeoff. I'm ok with a 4" screen as I think 5.5 for the games that could be played on it isn't worth it.

I would think the snapdragon has much more support in the emulation community. So even though the t820 is faster you would get better performance in many emulators like citra, and winlator
I actually purchased this but then the prostpect of the ever increasing looming tarrifs... made me second guess my order and trying to cancel it with them....
I bought my last retro console before the recent tarriff War and was looking forward to this device... the $90 dollar price is amazing for what you're getting but with the ridiculous 100%< tarriffs.... its not so much a great deal anymore...
The only shipping choice is Yun Express and it seems from a cursory google search they hand off to USPS once it passes customs and I've read of horror stories of ridiculous fees attached. The mangmi return policy seems to be pretty clear and its great that the OP mentions that people read it... that refused payments on misc fees like those customs related does not mean you will be refunded your money. You might end up not having to pay the fees if you refuse the package but you will lose that 90 bucks you spent on the item too...
Thats how I see it... I've avoided purchasing anything substantial from China since last year so I've never actually got hit by a tarriff payment directly... and id like to keep it that way...
If im overreacting for some reason... then please share your experience...
I was looking at this one and considering getting it, but is it worth spending the extra money to get the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, which has now dropped in price to $150?
Was considering this,until I saw shipping. At $75 shipped w/ case it's a nice deal. At $90, and possibly customs fees... plus iffy returns... eh....
May eventually be cheaper even on aliexpress (if shipped from US).
Or I may wait for something like the Smartpro if I can find it for like $40 and call it a day. Currently have a 3.5" cheapo device (R36H) which cost me like $18 after cashback and it's surprisingly good for that price. Even came with a SD card (albeit likely one to explode eventually).

IMO, yeah, spend the extra money and get the better device. The device in this thread is "good enough", but it's still going to be fairly large for what it is and still a budget device. Its that weird in between area... like almost good enough for PS2/gamecube but not quite there. And we're getting to the point where ~$50 devices can play a lot of the PSP library (and previous gen consoles).
Most people with a passion for retro gaming will probably want 2 devices; something cheap and pocketable (~$50 or less), and something larger/more comfortable and a bit more powerful/premium.

Thank you! This would be my first device for retro games, so I appreciate the input.
I'll hold off and get the RP4 instead.
Any recommendations for the budget one? The few I had on my shortlist were the RG CubeXX, RG40XX H, or RG 35XX Pro. The plan was something similar to those with custom firmware.

For a budget device, the best answer i can give you is "it depends" 😂. My current favorite device is the RG353m, which as far as performance and size goes is pretty much identical to the RG35XXH. This thing is like the perfect balance between portable and comfortable. I also have a RG Nano. This tiny thing is always in my pocket and is so much fun for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
I've also been eyeing down the TrimUI Brick... but I really don't need any more of these retro consoles! And the AYN Thor has also caught my eye 😂. To be honest, the Thor will probably be my next premium device... its just so neat!
It depends on what you want to play and if you plan on always bringing it with you. A horizontal 4:3 device is going probably be the most versatile and comfortable for a budget device. For me, anything bigger than a 3.5" screen was just too big to be considered pocketable.
