New and Upcoming Retro Handhelds To Watch In 2024 | Exciting New Emulation Handhelds and x86 PCs!

[@RetroBreezeYT]

What handhelds are you looking forward to the most in 2024?

[@ferdgerbeler8494]

Which ever one manages to do something around 780M class graphics for under $500

[@RetroBreezeYT]

That would be nice!

[@jam-88]

Abxylute Gen 2, really do believe in the product and the improvements they will make, will make it a real competitor! Best screen size imo 👌

[@spartaninvirginia]

steam deck OLED for my birthday in April lol.

[@AlonRozenblit]

Anbernic are also supposedly working on a flip device, similar to the Miyoo Flip, but without thumbsticks. I'm waiting to see which of the two I want more.

[@stephendonaghey1261]

Just found your channel, awesome!

[@jarrodwhite9415]

With the Odin 2 and Steam Deck OLED, I’m not really interested in another android or x86 device until we see a huge performance boost in hardware. I would love to see more niche Linux devices like the RG Arc or RGB30. Specifically an update to the Arc that can play Saturn games better, and an N64 handheld. Aya Neo Flip DS is interesting, but way too expensive.

[@viridionwaves]

Yes this exactly. I want an upgraded rgb30 that can play ps2 games on jelos.

[@ZackSilver77]

Nice but the analog triggers on the rp4 need the digital click found on gamecube controllers for melee, mario sunshine, f zero gx, etc.

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Definitely a feature that no retro handheld has introduced yet

[@jonathonearl482]

Looking forward to a few that were mentioned last year: Trimui Smart Brick ANBERNIC RG556 PowKiddy RGB10Max3 (No Pro) Miyoo Flip ANBERNIC Flip Orange Pi (I'm also hoping this one gets a 7 inch display) * I do however currently have a powerful Android handheld with a 7 inch display that has often been overlooked but I like it. The PowKiddy X17.

[@Ridley126]

Incredibly excited to get my hands on the Odin 2! As for the Switch 2, I'd say it's gonna be November this year, or March 2025. I still think it's a got a little bit left in the tank.

[@natural8677]

I will wait for the Miyoo mini flip as my first emulation handheld

[@mazzb305]

Can’t wait for that Miyoo Flip

[@kattz753]

I got the first Orange Pi 5 on pre-order at Christmas-time in 2022. I have been hearing about a handheld ever since. It would be interesting. It's a powerful little SBC. It's too bad that the software doesn't get the attention that Raspberry Pi OS does. They don't update, optimize or squash bugs. They just don't have the team. I'd still buy that handheld, though. The first Orange Pi 5 was cheap. It was under $100 US for the 8 GB model and around $60 for the 4GB. Lots of people bought them. I'm sure thaUt we would end up with some great custom firmware.

[@RetroBreezeYT]

The 7840U Orange Pi handheld looks like it'll be just $499, which is a crazy low price!

[@deadox]

OneXplayer X1 (or 1X playerXOne what are they playing at) is an interesting proposition but I want to hold out until Windows on ARM with qualcomm chip finally turned out to be great like everyone is predicting. It would be my dream device if it can triple-duty as my productiivty laptop, media consumption tablet, and deck-level gaming on big-ass screen, all with sweet power efficiency. One can dream about such device, hopefully not too long.

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Yeah I agree. Arm will be the future for handhelds. Cassia is looking really exciting too.

[@deadox]

@@RetroBreezeYT wow I was only aware about Winlator. Thanks a bunch for heads up!

[@SHx589]

Just bought the RP4 Pro today. I use my steam deck for post PS2 gaming and this will be for ps2 and earlier.

[@rsorry]

Odin 2 gang 🔥

[@phairo]

Odin 2 would have been an instant buy for me if it had a 7” screen. I think 7” is the minimum for a robust experience with modern games which is primarily what I play. Such a shame. I have the Abxylute right now and it’s so close to perfect but the joysticks are just way too sensitive. Really hoping something android comes along with the bigger screen, powerful soc, and good controls.

[@AdmiralBison]

I'm keeping an eye on Onenet's OneXplayer X1, and though I'm not enthused about them using Intel/Arc gpu, this device could be the one I've been waiting a couple of years for. A handheld Gaming PC powerful and large enough to be a Handheld + Tablet + laptop + Desktop-in-1

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Yeah me too m honestly my Loki with 6800U is more than enough for my general PC use. Haven't seen much about the new Intels actually. I need to!

[@CAPMAX_Gaming]

Personally, I'm curious to see the R43 Pro in action. I love a handheld with an insane design. 😁

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Oh? What do you find insane about the R4 Pro?

[@CAPMAX_Gaming]

@@RetroBreezeYT Tons of face buttons, probably the fattest vertical device when it comes out, a horizontal screen in that form factor. Very keen to get it in hand.

[@NotHeresrsly]

With the Odin 2 able to come out in a reasonable timeframe, I would hope that more manufacturers would have Their version of a high end Snapdragon chipset handheld announced and released this year Instead, I think we're going to get more Miyoo Mini Plus clones and more underpowered Switch Lite form factor clones - pretty much what has been announced/released this past year I mean, the most 'different' thing that has been announced is the Miyoo Flip, and there hasn't been a string of similar announcements - let alone releases - of hardware to copy that incredibly functional design, despite all the MM+ clones that came out seemingly within months of each other, and it being rumoured to having the same chipset as the Three (?) Anbernic 353 models.

[@robertpattinson2068]

all i want is steam to relase the deck australia

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Yeah it's crazy that it's not out.

[@ConcasicoWoodworks]

Same but for Mexico. Like we are literally next to the US 🙄

[@leelee7334]

Most people believe Nintendo will launch a new system this year around September but I have doubts on that mainly because they haven't told their own shareholders during the last investment call. Also, NIntendo will need time to not only promote the system but also have games ready for the launch. My guess is that there will be announcement but I can't see a new system this year.

[@Omar_Little]

I disagree with the notion of Miyoo being "behind the curve" for not releasing a new device with tiny incremental updates every week like ANBERNIC. Definitely a valid criticism to say they have manufacturing and process problems to meet demand, but releasing less handhelds is not a bad thing. The "flip" rumour would be a worthy new release and especially if it was just a re-formed MM+. Since onion OS is a killer feature in my book.

[@Not31337]

I know it's not as exciting as these others, but I'm waiting for the R33S to be widely available. What I'm hoping for is a "R36SH", as well as more flip device options. The V90 is too overpriced right now for how old it is.

[@kaikranz]

I'm waiting for more details on the AYANEO Pocket DMG

[@jayplay8140]

The ace card for Miyoo is Onion OS, it's that good

[@RetroBreezeYT]

100% true!

[@budgetking2591]

Yeah, software means a lot, thats why im loving my r36s thats running Arkos.

[@defaltpearce3187]

My biggest gripe with this is that ps2 emulation is dead on android. The dev who made the only good emulator quit.

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Yep, 100%. And feels like so much optimisation is still on the table.

[@manny1524]

I’m hoping powkiddys new RGB10MAX3 comes out polished, it looks comfortable and a decent sized screen. What are your thoughts about it?

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Well, the RGB10MAX3 Pro was the worst handheld I've ever seen in my life. On the other hand, I've liked all of PK's 3566 handhelds, so we'll see!

[@manny1524]

@@RetroBreezeYT definitely worst device of the year. I just think the new design looks comfortable. I want an rp4 but I hate it doesn’t have love handles.

[@jonathonearl482]

@@RetroBreezeYT Are you aware that PowKiddy has a new Max 3 that hasn't been released yet? This new one is much sleeker looking, similar to the Max 2. It's called the RGB10Max3 not to be confused with the current one with the 6 buttons below the display, the RGB10Max Pro.

[@RetroBreezeYT]

@@jonathonearl482 yeah of course, that's what I'm saying

[@Sr.D]

I'm interested in something mini and horizontal, something to replace my cool og pocket go, with same size but bigger screen, less bezels, that Miyoo mini horizontal could it be

[@viridionwaves]

That trimui brick looks absolutely gorgeous, but those look like Analogue style shoulder buttons which are a no go from me. Not doing that again.

[@jitterycore9753]

Can I get an Odin 2 flip?

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Nice idea!!! I'd like to see that!

[@MrWhis-fe5hs]

What game are you playing on the switch OLED

[@RetroBreezeYT]

Assassin's Creed Rogue

[@duda2k]

I missed some infos about the already leaked Anbernic RG556. It come as a redemption to 552.

[@TheJmack90]

12:13 Dawg this almost took me out 😂

[@RetroBreezeYT]

I was hoping that somebody would appreciate it!

[@thesidneychan]

I'm surprised no one is covering the ZPG A1 unicorn and ZPG Bubble.

[@cloudycolacorp]

Wow, both of those look really cool!

[@michaelmcclintick9541]

I would love to see a video on Loki.

[@RetroBreezeYT]

I will do it FOR SURE!

[@budgetking2591]

waiting for a rg35xx-plus with analog joysticks

[@stormk-1130]

Guys i need a recommendation for a handheld that can run up to psp. Thank you

[@RetroBreezeYT]

There are so many to choose from. Retroid Pocket 3+, Flip, 4, 4 Pro, PowKiddy RGB10MAX3, Anbernic RG556, RG 505, etc... basically any widescreen device with a T618 chip or above will be perfect for PSP at 1080p+, or the RK3566 (RGB10MAX3) will do most of it at native res or above.

[@3dtheking]

Whats your favorite pc handheld?

[@paulfavila5482]

anbernic 35xx sp looks more promising than miyoo flip

[@sambagogo777]

No new device this year with a 1:1 aspect ratio screen a la the RGB30? Disappointing.

[@soaremicheledavid6020]

Android & Windows products are the worst! Sold my Retroid Pocket 3 Plus also my SteamDeck, the system itself dosent work good with a handheld. Linux is still the best!

[@RetroBreezeYT]

I use Arch Linux for my Loki 😁

[@viridionwaves]

Linux is the best

[@megaeglenceyildizipros1234]

I dont really understand why do people like these gameboy like hanhelds I dont really like them
