4.5" screen seems too small for my eyes.

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

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.

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

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.
