I can say this, you don't want the $99 one for one reason alone. Android 11 eats up 1.7GB just to load. With the 4GB one, I'm left with 2.3GB for loading apps and their data. Also, given Android 11 wanting to put everything on your internal storage and hiding it from you, 32GB internal storage is going to suck for people who don't know how to deal with that. Honestly, the $119 version is the only version to get if you plan on doing much with it.

Thanks to a sale an a bunch of coupons I managed to whittle the price down to $91 including tax and shipping for the 4GB model, very much looking forward to it arriving.

I got this a few weeks ago and so far its great for ps1 and below. Its also very handy to plug in to my samsung tv and use as a console. Once it was set up Ive enjoyed the ps1 games, mame arcade and nintendo games I missed when I was a kid. Very happy with my purchase! :)
-
I Really like your style of review. Don’t forget, you can also upscale ps1 and Saturn games on this thing too!
-
Love the review! like you said the analog sticks are great. Also, for PSP, I would recommend setting the screen size to 0.85 to reduce the black bars. It is the sweet spot imo. also, what build of dolphin did you use for Mario Sunshine? im getting slow downs in Bianco Hills
-
Hope to be receiving mine tonight! Seems to me based on reviews that this device is close to flawless. Maybe in the future it could have an upgraded screen with smaller bezels and strong cpu so that it could handle all of GC and PS2 games. That's all I can even think of.
-
I couldn't help but notice that almost every video of this uses the green one. if I can do GameCube on this thing I think I will def wishlist it.
-
This is selling for more than the 3plus on eBay. I bought the 3 plus since it’s cheaper so win win !
-
My normal comment on these videos. Screen too small. 5 or 6" screen and I'm in.
-
How do I get mine to run games as fast as yours??
-
How is the heating in this one?
-
Hey 4gb ram 128gb storage version is now 99$ and thats great value❤
-
What about sega Dreamcast? Does it play Capcom vs snk 2, marvel VS capcom 2 and sonic adventure 2 battle smoothly?
-
I don't understand why Mario Sunshine is running so slow in your footage, it's much much better on my machine.
-
That subshine is notttt full speed
-
But it can’t really play all GC games can it? So more like pocket “half a GameCube”
-
Any reason why there is a small white bar on the right edge of the screen?
-
Does the RP launcher gets updates?
-
mario sunshine runs realy bad on my rp2s
-
What do you think of the Pocket 2S vs RG35XX H?
