Joysticks on the bottom again... whyyyyy...

My hands find that setup so uncomfortable, I wish they would put them on the top.

For retro games(which this is intended for) its much mor comfortable to have the dpad on top

4.5" screen seems too small for my eyes.

youll be fine. Tamagochi has tiny screen and it was really fun

depends on the game you're playing too i guess.

But we’re middle-aged now. Harder every day to focus up close.

Nah. I unloaded my switch lite for this reason. Microscreens are not for people over 30.

Great specs and I love smaller handhelds, but LCD is a deal breaker for me. Weirdly I might also prefer 720p over 1080p since it's an integer multiple of both 144 and 240, so it's great for emulating portables.

After playing with shaders in retroarch on amoled, I will never be able to go back to LCD. Otherwise it looks pretty cool.
