I have one, if you're looking to dip your toes into handheld retro gaming it's basically perfect for all 4:3 systems. As with any Android gaming setup it requires a bit of knowhow to get off the ground but once you're all configured it's hard to put down.

I was confused for a bit. This isn't the cheaper XX. I didn't know they had a non-H700 model out there.

This is near all time low price - nice deal. Is there even a more powerful 1:1 in this form factor out there?

Same processor as the Rg476h, for $110 this is def a great way in step into retro gaming.

1:1? I don't think so but a few notable 4:3 handhelds can beat this one...Not for anywhere near this cheap though!

Personally, I don't think any 1:1 handheld needs to be anywhere near this powerful because the only things that'll take advantage of that form factor are, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Neo Geo Pocket, and Pico 8. None of those need a ton of power to emulate really well. If I was looking at something with this much power, I'd want to stick with a 4:3 to take full advantage of the screen for all the systems it cam emulate that have that aspect ratio.

I feel like 1:1 handhelds peaked with the Powkiddy RGB30. Anything else with more power just feels pointless at this aspect ratio. That being said, the ergonomics on the Cube are leaps and bounds ahead of the RGB30

Yeah, I have the CubeXX myself as it's fine for those taller games. I also think that a lot of people would be happier with the similar-spec RG476H over this, when it's also in this same price range after coupon, and potentially Paypal "pay later $15 off $120" offer. I see the 476H as $115.36 after discounts, but the paypal discount is hit or miss on availability for accounts. I doubt I'll ever get rid of my 476H, even with our Novas inbound (in customs atm). The 476H is such a great deal, even at the $130 I originally paid.

I ALWAYS wanted a 476H and would absolutely bite at that price if I didn't already have an Odin 2 Portal. I don't need anything pocketable and I got the black model so any black bars from 4:3 content just disappear into the body.

That being said, I hear the 476H calling my name every so often. When it was released, I couldn't justify getting it cause I already had a 406H which has identical hardware...just not that amazing screen on the 476H. I had to talk myself out of it so many times 😂
