My bf has expressed wanting something like a steam deck in the past, but ultimately didn't buy one because it's too big. His bday is coming up in a few months and also we'll be heading on a long flight around that time so I thought this would be a good time to look into options! I have a flip2 and I love it but I guess a more pc like console would be better? Do you guys have any recommendations? He doesn't really play any heavy looking games, just like idle games and league of legends too, so I guess it doesn't have to be all that powerful. 😅

What I’m after

  • Budget: roughly $150-$200 (so Steam Deck / ROG Ally are off the table)
  • Use-case: up through PS2/GameCube, plus native Android titles
  • Must-haves: good AMOLED or IPS screen, hall-sensor sticks, decent battery life, comfortable d-pad

Questions for you lovely people

  1. Anything else sub-$250 that’s been announced but not shipped yet? I’ve seen whispered mentions of the OneXSugar Sugar 1 and Ayaneo Pocket S2, but details are hazy.
  2. If you already own an RP5, what bugs you after a few months? Thermals, stick drift, ergonomics?
  3. For those who grabbed an RG556 or pre-ordered the Flip 2, was the wait worth it versus grabbing an RP5 day-one?
  4. Anyone running custom ROMs on these? How’s community firmware support these days?
  5. Real-world battery life numbers (especially for PS2 emulation) would help me a ton.

Something I've been wondering. I see mixed opinions on it, in contrast to something like the RG34XX which seems to be mostly positive opinions. Of course the Slide is brand new, but I'm wondering how many people are considering or have already decided to buy the slide.
