Vertical

Mangmi's third slate of handhelds finally shipped. The Air Y Pro puts a Snapdragon 865 behind a 4.2 inch 4:3 screen in a vertical Game Boy shape, and it undercuts almost everything with the same chip.

Same chip as the RG477M, bigger battery, lower price. The RG477V is the vertical Anbernic that quietly became the better buy, as long as you can live with the trigger placement.

MagicX teased the Mini Dream, a 3.3 inch OLED handheld coming in Linux and Android versions from $80 to $180. An OLED screen at this price is rare. Here is everything we know so far.

The premium aluminum Brick Hammer Pro U against the beloved budget Miyoo Mini Plus. Same vertical spirit, wildly different price and power. Which pocket handheld fits you?

The best retro handhelds you can comfortably play with one hand in 2026, from vertical GBA-style bodies to tiny devices for gaming in bed or on a train.

The Trimui Brick is a tiny vertical handheld with a stunning 3.2 inch 1024x768 screen. It became a budget favorite for a reason.

The Retroid Pocket Classic packs a Snapdragon G1 Gen 2 and a 3.92 inch AMOLED into a GBA inspired vertical shell. PS2 and GameCube in a $219 pocketable device. Here is the full review.

A bigger screen, dual sticks, and the same beloved vertical form factor. The RG40XXV is the RG35XX all grown up — but is it the upgrade you've been waiting for?
