Been looking at the rg35xx sp as a secondary handheld. Any other good handhelds? Looking for a smaller device

RG353V has served me incredibly well. Works great for systems up to Dreamcast. Plays most PSP games well. Plays DS and earlier Nintendo handhelds perfectly, though I strongly recommend using Arkos if you touch support in the Linux frontend.

Nice :3

I'd get one but I already have an rp4 pro, looking for something in the 70 and under range.

Mainly something pocketable, sticks are a problem in that

Yeah, the Anbernic RG35XX is under $70 and the RG35XX+ is about $80. Those are super solid choices!

What about the sp? Is the sp more durable?

It's just a smaller, folding form factor. It's better at protecting your screen and buttons, but if it's anything like the GBA SP it's based on, that hinge is a potential breakage point. Your trading off one kind of durability for a whole new vulnerability. Having said that, I loved my GBA SP and in only got broken because it got misplaced and sat on while it was folded open.

Is the sp any more powerful?
