Budget Clamshell
Anbernic RG35XX SP vs Miyoo Mini Flip
The two best budget clamshell handhelds, compared on screen size, performance, and which one protects your pocket better.
RG35XX SP
Anbernic · 10/10 · A+
The Anbernic RG35XX SP is the better clamshell: its H700 grades 10/10 · A+ against the Miyoo Mini Flip at 7/10 · B+, it carries the much larger 3.5 inch 640x480 panel against the Flip's 2.8 inch, and its 3300 mAh battery is user-replaceable where the Flip's 2500 mAh is not. Choose the Miyoo Mini Flip only if the smaller folded footprint is the whole point and your library stops at Game Boy through PS1.

Performance
The RG35XX SP runs on an Allwinner H700 with 1 GB of RAM. The Miyoo Mini Flip uses a SigmaStar SSD202D with 128 MB of RAM. The RG35XX SP has the edge: it reaches N64 and Dreamcast as mostly playable, while the Miyoo Mini Flip is best treated as a Game Boy through PS1 device.
Screen
This is the biggest difference. The RG35XX SP has a 3.5 inch 640x480 IPS panel. The Miyoo Mini Flip has a smaller 2.8 inch 750x560 IPS panel. For text-heavy games and anything with small UI, the larger RG35XX SP screen is noticeably more comfortable.

Which should you buy?
Choose the RG35XX SP if you want the larger screen, more emulation headroom, and longer battery. Choose the Miyoo Mini Flip if you want the most compact clamshell and your library is strictly Game Boy through PS1.
