I’ve been interested in the retro handhelds I’ve been seeing by companies like miyoo and AYN for a while. I’m curious to see this community’s thoughts on the available options. I’m thinking of asking my girlfriend to get me something like the Miyoo Flip V2 for Christmas. Basically what I want is a small handheld that is easy to bring with me everywhere and take out and play with for a few minutes while I have breaks at work. My budget would be around $100, but I’d be happy to hear thoughts on the more expensive options like the AYN Thor.
I do already have a steam deck for home, but I’m hoping for something a little more portable for playing around with older games.

It all depends on what you want. For $100, Magmi makes a good option. If want a flip device around that price, miyoo flip and Anbernic rg35xx sp are good devices at that price. Again, it all depends on what you want, vertical or horizontal, flip, Linux or android, wifi/bt, are achievements important to you, up to what system you’d like to play.

I don’t really care about achievements. The most important thing would be a wide range of supported systems. I think I want a flip form factor and would prefer Linux, but android is fine too.
