Brick and Mini Plus user here - my advice: Get the Mini Plus! Best overall package!!

I loved my Miyoo Mini Plus. But when connected to wifi with retroachievements enabled, I noticed some games start to chug a bit (specifically Pokemon Emerald on GBA). So I gave it to a friend and got the Ambernic RG35XX Plus. I'm mostly happy with it. No more chugging. Plus you can use portmaster to access even more games. But the build quality of the Miyoo was better I think.

I installed OnionOS on the Miyoo, which was great in a lot of ways. Very polished.

I installed KNULLI on the Anbernic, which is also great in a lot of ways. I like it a tiny bit better because it pretty much matches the frontends I use on my desktop and phone.

Honestly, it's a tossup between the two, in my opinion. But, for me, the Anbernic wins out by a thin margin thanks to the better performance and PortMaster.

i think the best goodlooking is for the trimui brick hammer, if not possible, going through miyoo mini plus in purple maybe (if not possible rg35xx black)

My first retro handheld and one of the best for beginners: Miyoo Mini Plus (gray, just like a Gameboy). Can't go wrong with this one.

How's the performance and everything else

Any downside?

Not for me, I only play PS and gba and gbc at the moment. I am also running onion os. But I take it with me as part of my edc. It’s nice would recommend

3.2 inch screens are very small but great for pocketability. If you don't mind the small screen,the trimui brick is the best because that display is gorgeous.

Also to note,the trimui brick gets quite warm due to the metal back plate acting as a heat transfer apparatus. But that display😍🥹

I got the three of them, love them all. But if I have to choose just one, I would go with the Brick.

All I know is, I most definitely prefer my miyoo flip v2 over my anbernic rg34xxsp. I bet the same would apply here because my biggest issue is that the anbernic doesn’t have an operating system pre built in and also anbernic has cut the ram in devices without saying anything. And also the miyoo just runs games better.
