It seem going Crazy with Handheld of this year.

Aokzoe A1 Pro( Seem like Monster Handheld with either 16 or 32GB Ram!)
Ayn Odin 2
ANBERNIC RG405V
Retroid Pocket 2S
Retroid Pocket 2 Plus Retro Handheld
Anbernic RG353PS
GPD WIN 4 2023
Kiddypow Handheld
Steam Deck
Ally Rog (it does seem to have Issue with SD CARD fried due heat next cpu or SD Card doesnt seem work properly and I dont know if is been sorted out!)

There is lists of Handheld console on https://droix.co.uk/product-category/handhelds/handheld-game-consoles/

I am sure there is more handheld out there that I dont know about and there will even more new Handheld coming out next year too!

Edit: Had anyone try Logitech G Cloud that longer batteries out of any Handheld console(I seem think Gameboy black and white console have longest batteries life between 5 hours to 30 hours!)

Edit: this is had be ULGY Handheld I have seen so far and yes, ZX Spectrum that sell the name for handheld.

Edit: MSI News update - I have reading MSI Handheld forum and lots of people with it and could be reason why been remove the sale such as curry’s and Argos which kinda shock me yesterday when I was looking in curry’s of handheld console.

Edit: New XBOX Handheld console coming out this year and price maybe $800 !

Edit: Sony Could be making PSP 3 in future and I did prefer in either Grey(like oringal Playstation back in 1994) or in Black colour :)

Edit: Xbox and ASUS are working together for new Handheld and maybe they put double batteries life than Rog ally X!

Dunno when going be out and I think will be out before Xmas for sure.

Edit: I got steam deck and I like it but I hate reflection screen!

I seem notice there is 3 dead pixel on screen and it is possible to solve screen problem or do I have take it back?

Edit: Should I download Decky for Emulator? does it bugged up steam OS or somethings? I havnt got clue as I am really new to it.

What's happening with that MISTer FPGA portable? Anyone hear any news?
 
I really like my Steamdeck, I have the default SteamOS but I do use the desktop mode as well, I've got the 512gb version with a 512gb micro SD. It's actually very capable, I'm playing Starfield on it whilst travelling (on steam) and Fifa 22 (23 not supported) via EA app. Forza Horizon 5 runs well too.

I've also got retrodeck setup with my favourite games over the various consoles plus it will run a bunch of stuff natively via Proton such as classic games like Outrun Coast 2 Coast and WinUAE (I've got my A4k HDF running)

A very versatile bit of kit.
 
I got my ps vita, a newish old school portable

Amazing machine that Sony self terminated sadly
 
All nice. I always liked the Sony portable design. My switch is getting a workout thanks to the new Mario Wonder.

But...we all know what MISTer FPGA portable means. Portable Amiga. Portable Arcades. Portable everything pre-1995!
 
I have bought Logetich G Cloud and let you know if any good!

Sony have Release new Playstation Portal handheld but you have connected to WI FI as such shame that you cant go anywhere to played it like PSP and PS Vita Console :)
 

@Amiga Forever, it's a shame the Playstation Portal is not standalone and you have to stream games :-(

I guess someone will hacked it because it is Android console to make like PS VITA 2 lol
 
I have try putting Launchbox or RetroArch in Handheld console(Logitech G Cloud) as it been real pain!

IF You have google account, go to google play and download Daijisho and bob your uncles lol

 
Rog Ally have updated firmware but have they fixed SD Card issue thought?

 
Ayn Odin 2 seem be king of handheld for some reason. There another new handheld out coming soon called MSI intel which look same as Ally Rog as just hope doesnt have SD Card issue like Ally Rog
 
I've also noticed the crazy uptick in handhelds. I'm interested in the Steam Deck but not sure how much I'd actually use it. I have a real soft spot for vintage handhelds, as I'm sure you can imagine (since I'm here on AmiBay after all). My collection at present includes a GBA, Game Gear, PS Vita, Nintendo New 3DS XL, Neo Geo Pocket Color, WonderSwan Color...and each of these has been modded of course :P

I think the Nintendo 3DS is criminally underrated. It has me wanting more modern Nintendo handheld hardware.
 
Just picked up an Evervade exp limited black edition and have to say I do like it, also play my OLED Switch a fair bit
 
Rog Ally 2 Handheld is coming out in this June and let hope they can fixed the sd card issue that problem with Rog ally 1 handheld!
 
Modern day handheld's don't do anything for me. Sony PSP all the way! :D

Always got it sat in the car's glovebox ready and waiting for a quick game.

I have psp and Psp Vita as both was ahead of time :)

Let hope Sony Make PSP VITA 2 with backward compatable and it will sell Hot cake !
 
Handhelds are nice, but, am not sure if I will bother with anymore. I have had 2 Sony PSP's in the past and both spent most of their time in the boxes. My wifey had the Nintendo Switch and I think I played on it a few times.
 
I just came back to my Nintendo DS. I've been discovering how capable this little gem is but I enjoyed it mostly for the New Super Mario Bros. replay and Tetris.
