For example, does the Android console have a good frontend, does it have screen and button mapping, does it even have the Google Play Store installed so you can easily add and update apps?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screen mapping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the Android <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/product-category\/handhelds\/gaming-handheld\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gaming handhelds<\/a> have their own built-in screen mapping software and all work just fine. The Retroid Pocket 3 and GPD XP+ are very easy to use, the Anbernic\u2019s software is not far behind to be fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Play Store<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Play Store should be on every device as standard. Sadly, Anbernic handhelds no longer have them installed. Without the Play Store it makes Android based gaming much harder to perform as you have no easy way to download and install Android mobile games. While it is possible to install them yourself, it takes time and some knowledge to do so.&nbsp; This is a big negative in my opinion and Anbernic really should add it in as a firmware upgrade at least.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Retroid-Pocket-3-Frontend.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Retroid-Pocket-3-Frontend-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Retroid Pocket 3 Frontend\" class=\"wp-image-26478\" style=\"width:512px;height:288px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Retroid-Pocket-3-Frontend-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Retroid-Pocket-3-Frontend-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Retroid-Pocket-3-Frontend-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Retroid-Pocket-3-Frontend-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Retroid-Pocket-3-Frontend-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Retroid-Pocket-3-Frontend.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Retroid Pocket 3 Frontend<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frontends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Retroid Pockets have a very nice frontend for quickly getting to browse and play games.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/en-ie\/product\/anbernic-rg353v\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RG353V<\/a> does also have a frontend, but in comparison it is very basic and limited in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dual OS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dual Operating Systems are supported on the Anbernic consoles and with this you can decide to boot either Linux or Android. Linux comes with an emulation station and RetroArch set up and retro game consoles ready to go. So it&#8217;s very easy if you want to get gaming straight away. You can also use custom firmware such as <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/knowledge-base\/article\/how-to-install-arkos-on-your-retro-gaming-console\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ArkOS<\/a> which features far more supported systems.

In our recent review we did find Android on it a bit unpolished and the lack of Google Play Store was a big negative for us. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Best Budget Android Handheld\" class=\"wp-image-26485\" style=\"width:512px;height:288px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Best-Budget-Android-Handheld.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Best Budget Android Handheld<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>However with some work you can get everything up and running to around PlayStation 1 and some Dreamcast level emulation.

You are looking at stable Dreamcast emulation levels with some of the more basic games on Dolphin running. They are the best retro handheld game console for performance vs price!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Average money vs performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RG552 is kind of in the middle in terms of performance but the second most expensive handheld at \u00a3219.&nbsp; Looking closely at the scores there&#8217;s a \u00a320 difference between it and the Retroid Pocket 3. The <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/en-ie\/product\/rg552\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RG552<\/a> does however have dual boot capability which is missing in the Retroid and GPD models. In terms of emulation you are looking at Dreamcast level running just fine. With some tweaks you can play some games on the Dolphin emulator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Android handheld gaming console<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This spot would have went to the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/en-ie\/product\/gpd-xp-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GPD XP+<\/a>, but it is no longer available.

Overall there is a much user friendly package in terms of the startup wizard, frontend, easy to use overlay software and stability.
