Miyoo Mini Plus review

The Miyoo Mini Plus is the pick for players who want a small vertical handheld in the shape of a classic Game Boy. Miyoo's store lists a 3.5-inch IPS screen at 640*480, a SigmaStar SSD202D dual-core Cortex-A7 CPU at 1.2GHz, a Linux system and a 3.7V 3000mAh Li-Po battery. It is sold with a 64GB SD card or without a card, in several colors, and Miyoo states a 1-year warranty on its consoles and dispatch within 1 to 3 business days. The chip is the slowest here, so it is best for 8-bit and 16-bit games and handheld classics rather than 3D systems. Miyoo does not publish a play time for the battery. Miyoo's store showed prices in a non-USD currency when we checked, so the USD price is pending; compare it with the Anbernic RG35XX, which has the same screen size and resolution. We compared documented features and published prices only.
