Edit: oof I didnt realize Android 16 is the latest. I guess hard pass on this unless there's a newer Rom for it.

You'll find that the vast majority of these retro consoles do not use the latest Android version. Some can run custom firmware options. Looks like this one is supported by GammaOS Next, for example.
(For a small subset designed for Android (not this one), Rocknix linux is an aftermarket option.)

To get better coverage of PS2 and Gamecube titles, you'd have to upgrade to something with a Snapdragon 865 or Dimensity 8300, like a Retroid Pocket 5 or Anbernic RG 477m / 477v.
To compare this to other T820 equipped devices, I can't find any for less than $140 shipped, so this is the lowest cost I can find for a T820 handheld. The RG Slide launched at $180-$190 less than a year ago, so if you like the form factor and 4:3 screen, it's really a pretty good deal. Personally, I already have a G350, RG 477v and Konkr Pocket Fit, so I have no need for it. I would find it tempting if I didn't have any of those devices and I was on a $100-$125 budget.
Reviews are pretty good overall. Just know what you're buying so you won't be disappointed.

FWIW, if you want a Android 16 emulator your best bet is to repurpose a newer phone. Even higher end emulators like the Ayn Thor are still rocking 13.
