The Ayaneo Pocket S is a premium Android handheld with the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 chip. It is built to push PS2, GameCube, Wii, and Switch emulation.

The Ayaneo Pocket S and Retroid Pocket 6 are two flagship Android handhelds. One has a big 120Hz screen and a gaming chip. The other has an AMOLED panel and a much lower price.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is the next leap forward for Android handhelds. AYN Odin 3 leads the wave. Here is what the 8 Elite changes, which handhelds will ship with it, and whether you should wait.

Three premium Android handhelds, one Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset class, three different priorities. Here is how the AYN Odin 2 Portal Pro, Retroid Pocket 6, and Anbernic RG557 stack up in 2026.

The Anbernic RG477M is the brand's first true premium metal handheld — a Dimensity 8300, 12GB of RAM, a 120Hz LTPS panel, and PS2 at 2.5x. Here's what early launch coverage tells us about the strongest Anbernic Android device yet.

The Lenovo Legion Go S brings an 8" screen and AMD horsepower to SteamOS — a legitimate Steam Deck OLED alternative that trades OLED and portability for raw size and power.

The ROG Xbox Ally X is the most powerful handheld PC you can buy — and one of the best emulation machines ever made. Windows 11 is the asterisk.

The best emulation handheld ever made — if you can justify the price. The Steam Deck OLED is a retro gaming powerhouse hiding inside a PC gaming device.

Anbernic's flagship Android handheld packs a Snapdragon 700-series chip into a large, comfortable shell. Big screen, big power — big price.

The best mid-range retro handheld money can buy. The RP4 Pro handles everything from NES to PS2 and GameCube without breaking a sweat.
