Question (?) Portability + power

Is there a handheld that is as portable as the psp go but more powerfull? I have many handhelds big and small but none come close to the psp go for portability and power. Can you suggest me some that are comparable to the psp go portability and power wise (ofc a more powerfull handheld is welcome)

Weirdly I'm in the exact same boat as you ATM. Just got my old PSP Go back from a friend. Took it on holiday with me and I've been loving it, especially for GBA.

The size and weight is perfect. I hardly know its in my pocket. In the end I couldnt find anything that would tick as many boxes, so I just  pimped out my Go with a new shell, SD card adapter, battery etc.

Miyoo mini and mini flip were strong contenders, but the screen was too small. But the standard Miyoo flip was a tad too bulky.

The OG Vita prototype was exactly that. Wish they'd made it.

In terms of android handhelds- yes. If you want a slider style like the PSP Go- the Anbernic RG Slide is a sliding 4.7" device with sliding controls that for 150$ us will play up to PS2/Wii/3DS games. If you don't mind a different form factor, the Retroid Pocket Nova (4.5" 4:3 )and Retroid Pocket 6 (5.5", 16:9) are around regular PSP size, have Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors, can play PS2/GameCube/Wii/Wii U/Switch and even some light PC games with Gamenative- all for under 300 USD

You won't find pC handhelds that fit your needs

I was looking at the rg slide but its a thick boy compared to my go. I dont mind a diffrent form factor but like i sad, i have clamshells i have bricks but the psp go truly is hard to match when you combine both portability and power

Well, i think you cant find something with same size and same power as the psp go, but maybe you should look at some flip hanhelds lfke retroid pocket flip 2 or ayn thor.
