but it is so pretty looking....................
 
I had no idea such a thing existed. I will be getting some next time this roll of horrific screeching stuff is finished.
It's magic. I was once at work boxing up a TV in the middle of our office. When I realised it was totally silent, I paused. I looked up. My colleague who also helped ship stuff was staring at me from several desks away with his mouth agape :P
 
Interested in this but struggling from their website to understand what you do on it? Judging from the name, presumably old games?!

At its core, it’s an Android phone with a controller stuck to the side.

I can go on Google store and download the same apps so it can just be a YouTube or Netflix machine if I want.

For emulation, it can run PS2 and older games and a lot of Switch games. I’ve seen people playing Breath of the Wild on it.

The OLED screen is the main selling point. A Backbone controller or one of its rivals are like £80 and more bulky. It’s a niche product for sure and it also require a TON of know how from the user to get it working. Otherwise it’s just a mid tier phone without a SIM card.

I've never seen someone collect retro emulation devices. I can't imagine you actually play them all. :P

I wouldn't say collect, as I don't buy all of them. Actually I bought less than they release. For example Anbernic has made 12 devices last year, I have 3 of those. I bought them to try out which one I like more. The more I have, the more I can narrow down in form factor, button feel, size, screen resolution, operating system. They all have their little quirks.

I never play on more than 1 at a time and at the moment I play on the Steam Deck more.

It'd take some serious dexterity to manage more than one at a time ;) I do keep looking at these for a portable distraction (rather than lugging the switch around) but never sure of the sweet spot.

A few dodgy electronics to monitor gates, temperatures etc:
