    Just out of curiosity, would you say a switch lite when modded has the same emulation capabilities as Retroid pocket 3+? even a few ps2 titles? that would be crazy for a chip from 2017. Now as for the x28 its would be really awesome if some CFW would come, especially GammaOS with the retroids improvements.

    As a ps vita owner, I think some better things that could be added to this machine is battery life, but you don't get that in any low cost price to performance devices. Also a better plastic, but we don't have it on low cost devices too. Also, compared to the rg405m, it's a bit big. We need a handheld that's reminiscent to the vita, as its a reasonable size for these handhelds

    I've heard good things about this one on KZread Let's see... although none can replace my PS VITA 😊❤ I don't know why they even try! 😅😂 How is the travel time for buttons? I hate long travel time for buttons. Compare it to vita itself which has the great button travel time 😘 just perfect just like the Nintendo DS....man they don't make them like they used to 😢 You should try this game called the Gardens Between. In high graphics mode, it really works the Android phones resources I think it can be a really good measure of an Android based system's heat reduction systems Great video as always.
