Even smaller... great.. LOL. Young me would have loved this. 53 year old me needs to game on a Tab s9 ultra to see well 😂🤣😂
@@REDVARG I have the last gen Odin Pro. Solid devices.
sounds fare 17 yo me love compact phones 💀
so that's mean I'll tend to love bigger screens when i get older right?
I wish someone would make a cheaper device with the RGB30's screen but with good controls and no battery issue - doesn't even have to be that powerful, maybe PS1 and below would be fine.
Came here to say this. 12 year me is going crazy. 46 year old me is like... i cant see that.
TVs are even bigger than tablets!
I think Miyoo got lazy with this one. They are relying on their brand with the miyoo mini and plus and figured that Onion OS would pick up the slack for the software
Yeah you nailed it. Same here. Just really lazy.
Spot on … the rg35xxh is perfect for me anything smaller and my old eyes revolt 😂
literally. hope the flip aint like this.
Makes me wonder if its screen is darker for battery performance, or a firmware update will solve the brightness issue. I'll wait to hear more about it before considering.
Why don't they just release it with onion os? It's open source anyway.
Wow, the authentic original GBA display filter is amazing. Very convincing. Wait, what do you mean that's not a filter? OMG... What have they done?
Can’t believe how dim that screen is
first thing I noticed and I knew instantly that I wouldn't be buying it
These compared to the 80s and 90s handhelds just blows my mind.
Screen seems very dim
Yeah, I really wish they would have went with something a bit brighter for sure
Also has really bad viewing angles.
@@kakibajs agreed but I think the original Miyoo or plus are both better options than this new one. I do want one as an upgrade from my original Bittboy and to that end this is a huge upgrade but compared to some other devices around the same price this thing isn’t that great.
@@seanbrent4245 Oh damn! I was hoping to be able to play this thing at an angle.
@@TheRealReid35😂
After seeing this I'm so glad I got the rg35xx h.
Great review, thank you. 🌞👍🏽 I miss your usual time codes for reviews in it. 😞
I love the look of this grey one, but I need a stereo headphone jack, and the ability to play all systems without overclocking.
Like many have said, put the guts of the 28xx in this body and you've got perfection.
Love the form factor and aesthetic design, but man, that super dim screen is a deal breaker.
Perhaps anbernic should make a
PSP GO! Clone
With the ability to play PSP games at 2x resolution.
640x360 resolution which is a perfect 16:9 ratio.
Hallelujah a new Miyoo console! Looks so small and so cool 😎
Aww come on! Another handheld so close to being perfect. This was exactly the kind I wanted until I saw how poor the screen was.
So nice but I need more brighteness, waiting for the 3,5 version maybe ? The best are coming a plus version
wonder if we will see Onion OS on the new Miyoo, great video btw ;)
Missed your content ❤
Great video
Reviewers are being very kind to this device, despite it not being fit for purpose….
The one I'm desperately waiting for is the miyoo mini flip.
Ah mali 400. That takes me back. In 2016, me in 8th grade struggling to run pokemon black and white and god of war CoO and GoS on my mali 400 phone. Only tekken 6 is playable back then, only lagging when the background with the sheeps is used. To think this gpu used to be a flagship back in 2011 in the Galaxy note 1.
The ARM A7 also came out in 2011. They are basically using 2011 components to build this thing. They are keeping e-waste out of a landfill.
mali gpu are made in somalia
The RG28 screen seems noticeably brighter.
One of the best 4K handheld mini pc's I've ever seen.
an awesome mini beast
Looking forward to the Flip
nice ❤❤
Cool. The price looks pretty good for what it is. Though I've got a steamdeck so I don't need any of these things.
I really like the looks of the A30, but it seems a little underbaked.
So, I hope a V2 will resolve some of its issues, namely at least adding stereo audio if not bluetooth true wireless stereo, a brighter screen, and a better battery.
It's also unforunate that it can't play Dreamcast games well since it has the same controls as the original DC controller, tho I would really like a second joystick for playing PSX Armored Core games and for having the full inputs of a N64 controller.
Then again, I ordered a Retroid Pocket 2S this week, so that's got me covered, but I still really want to get an A30 when it either gets some revised firmware or, better yet, revised hardware, because I think it looks really charming.
Looks stunning. Does the battery drain while on idle or sleep?
Gotta say the black one is nicer looking than the Famicom style one that has been in all the promos. Not that I don't like the Famicom style, the brushed metal front just looked a bit low quality
DANG IT! It's Perfect EXCEPT FOR THE DIM AS HECK SCREEN.
Too small a screen for my old eyes but I get the small form factor appeal. Delta on my iPhone is currently scratching a retro itch and that’s is always in my pocket. Yes it’s not got buttons or sticks .
Shame that the screen isn’t brighter definitely would’ve been a must buy if that was the case
I've been waiting a long time for a handheld of this size with an analog stick.
I wonder if it's more comparable to a Raspberry Pi3 or 4. So I wonder how well it can emulate the Amiga.
The New Miyoo A30 looks just too small, but I believe it works good defienitily as the Retro Handheld! 😮😊
Where are the intro graphics and metroid sounding music bar?!? (Must be in a hurry)😅
Reasons to buy this over the RG35xxH... Wearing slightly tighter pants?? lol honestly 3.5" screen is as small as it needs to get. What keebler elves are these handhelds made for?
What we want is a Miyoo Mini XL (extra large) . Because i already love my MM+ but i would definitely get a second one if i could have one with a screen 50% bigger WOW it would be amazing, especially with Onion OS. There is an MM, a MM+, so we need a MM+XL next
That's not mini by any stretch dude. That's literally a Miyoo large WTF are you even doing 😂
Man if only the joystick was above the Dpad -.-
For this people who has nostalgic feel about dingoo handheld
Reminds me of the Gameboy Micro.
They should've put just a touch more horsepower in it. Being able to run PS1 and PSP games at full speed wouldve helped. Otherwise who cares about the analog stick?
The controls are wonky for N64. I wouldn't even try. Anything that uses the c or z buttons is basically unplayable.
if the screen is even half as bad as it seems on video, it's a no-go
unfortunately without OnionOS, the Miyoo devices are not special. What the onion team should do, in my opinion, is instead of supporting the Allwinner A33 here, they should do the H700 and bring OnionOS to the RG35XX, 35XX+, 35XX H, 28XX and the new 35XX SP. All of a sudden those handhelds would be basically the ultimate in value retro gaming
I hope you know that you are talking about anbernic not miyoo
@jang.6097 that's the point he is making. If they were working with abernic devices, those devices would be the ultimate devices.
@@johnmichaels4330 exactly my point. Especially if both are using Allwinner chips, might as well port the OS to the superior chip
Im selling my ps5 and seriesx , and im gettin this!!! Yeahhh mannnn!!!👋
if it weren't for that brightness I'd actually pick this one up, it's a shame
maybe its just the filming angle but is the display tilted down to the right a bit?
need that with an mp4 player built in and cloud capability
The single analog stick is a crime.
Why, though? Most games this could potentially run won't need the second controller and having one (instead of none) really helps push those DC, N64, PSX and PSP games to a better experience, and keep the price low with a small form factor
On a powerful device I would agree with you but here… except for some psx games it’s a non issue.
All others playable, sometimes barely, consoles having only one stick (n64, dc, psp) if not none 😅
Great for shmups, no complaint here.
I have the (horribly named) Anbernic RG35XX H and the second joystick just gets in the way. It’s why I clicked this video-this seems like a better layout tbh.
How’s that battery life with psx and below?
Beautiful design but if you already have a mm+ why would you get this one? Especially considering it's a smaller screen.
Will I be able to delete certain consoles I don't play
The hardware on this is equal to my pc 💀🤯
That dark screen as a deal breaker. DOA
this device looks pretty nice but man that screen kills it out right plus i don't understand why are they making them that small for 5 years old kids i had one of these and couldn't play for more then 10min. gave it to a 4 years old kid he loves it of course
hey eta could you give me a recommendation for a retro handheld for my mom, she really just plays sega genesis and classic nintendo nes, i just want something thats simple enough to where if she doesnt understand she can facetime me, if you know any that can be hdmi compatible as well that would be nice
Get the Anbernic RG353P if you can afford it. It is my favorite emulation device on the market to this day. The battery life is insane, the 640 x 480 124 hz display is buttery smooth and the form factor is incredible. If you keep it on the stock Linux OS simply turn on and play. The end user experience is perfection.
I wonder if it can run Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Plus.
Looks decent, but that screen might as well be front lit.
I really wanted to pick this up but the joystick kills it for me.
Hi I love your videos (pls can you make a video on ps3 emulator optimisation please my pc i5 9400f & RX 580 8 g ram 16 g 2666 😊😊😊
Does anyone know how to change the steam deck UI color I don't like to always see blue
Only off putting for me is for the N64, its going to be a bit difficult for games that uses the ‘C’ buttons and ‘Z’ trigger
Don't understand why didn't settle for a 3.5 inch screen dual analog device.
A shame. The A30 is definitely a better looking handheld, but they skimped too much on the screen and specs. Maybe they will release a plus model to fix it's flaws?
I plan to gift this to my 7 year old, how hard is it to install a bunch of games?
Is there a "shortcut" to install a 30-50 game selection, and is the 128GB option enough for that?
No shortcut as such but it's pretty easy. 128gb is ample.
The dim display kills it
Love the small form factor but that dim screen makes it a pass for sure. sucks I'd like it otherwise
I've had much better luck with duckstation than retroarch for PS1.
Can you get retroachievements on there
I love the case but the cpu is underpowered compared to the Rg28xx. Also found the RG35xx H for around $52 on alie Epress. Would rather go for the 35xx h for the bigger screen size and analogue sticks. Its tsill pocketable enough
bad screen
bad cpu
Bad button layout
Disappointing these newer Hh are still not beating my cheap Odriod go advance.
I myself have a ANBERNIC RG351M
Except for the technical feat, playing on a tiny screen like that is not confortable.
no headphone jack?
is it just me or that one damn dim display
I so badly want a tiny (6in or 7in) cheaper laptop for DOS gaming. Not so cheap its junk but a lot cheaper then something like the GPD.
I would play OOT on that thing if it runs well enough
My old eyes can't handle that small of a screen. HDMI out would help sell it.
Missing the right joystick and needs ABC, XYZ buttons to support N64, Saturn, etc.
Display looks too dim to use anywhere except in the basement with the lights off.
My Anbernic RG351MP is on the small side for me and this being smaller... I'll probably pass on this...
I think miyoo might be a bit late to the market with this one. Subpar display is not the way to go in a very competitive market now. Theres just way too many other options for people.
They are all missing a second analog stick, oled screen with brighter displays. How long until they learn what customers want?.!
I'm sure the ergonomics are fine, if you happen to have baby hands.
ISIS that really as bright as it goes? I can hardly see it. Too bad because it looks like such an awesome form factor. Why do all the gaming consoles always have that? One thing that stops me from getting into retro handhelds?
My issue is they cut a LOT of corners in terms of use and build quality. Usually indicates a companys downward spiral. But they COULD recover with whats coming.
I’m way too late for making this comment but… I think there’s enough of this out there. And I’m not sure what this is supposed to offer, especially with such a nasty screen. I don’t understand how reviewers aren’t getting tired of using these.
just... one more stick... and it would be perfect for me at that size
Nice
That screen is just terrible. I was looking at the anbernic RG28xx but i really wanted a thumb stick for like.. n64 games.
But this a30 is a bit underpowered and that screen is just soo bad.
RG35xx h or powkiddy RGB30
MagicX XU Mini M is another potential option.
I'll stick with my RP 4 pro.
the children yearn for the game boy micro
Where the intro 😭
I love the overall design but the brightness is so disapointing.
nice
That low brightness kills it for me. I'd rather use Delta on my phone.
That low brightness kills it for me. I’d rather use Delta on my phone.
You know, what is the point of releasing new handhelds after a SP style handheld is announced by the same company? Just freaking release the SP clone, I know the hinge is difficult, FIGURE IT OUT, lol, I'm holding out for that handheld.
This can play N64, Dreamcast, etc.
The SP version has the same hardware as the regular miyoo mini.
so it won’t be able to play n64 or dreamcast
In its current state, the A30 severely under performs compared to the 28xx.
its so cute but ill stick with my miyoo mini plus. this is an inferior product. maybe miyoo made it "bad" so that when the flip comes out people will see that as better than this in comparison. idk though. maybe they did just make a mistake with this one
No audio jack 🥲
These companies are going forward in reverse
I don't see a reason to get this over the rg35xx h
