>The PowKiddy RGB20 contains a 3.5″ display, probably with the same old 480×320 resolution as all the other RK3326 machines.

I happen to own a RG350M Black https://youtu.be/p8EZvT1zHCU?t=60

Same screen size, which is perfect for a scale 1:1 for most games, especially for retro emulation of arcade and 16bit console systems

Very good quality screen, very good overall quality

Now, the downside I didn't expect... It hurts the eyes. I wouldn't recommend it for kids (nor anybody else for that matter)

If you play let's say 1 hour on that thing, or even half an hour, starring at the screen... Once you stop and look at something else, your vision is blurred

...

Yeah that kind of super sucks... Now you can of course plug it to hdmi screen but that's supposed to be a handheld...

Anyway, 3.5 inch isn't enough, imo

I previously had a lame ass no brand crappy x9 (and still have) https://youtu.be/scIZh1pJh3Q?t=80 And I can say that while the computing power and UI range from mediocre to super lame, and the screen is sort of a cheap one comparable to that old ass gamegear dirt bag, and 16:9 on top of that which isn't ideal for games designed for 4:3 format... It's actually more suited to play for hours on it, you don't get the eyesight issue

That is all

Yeah, the Chinese handhelds are really hit or miss. Some are just awesome, some are kind of meh.

Thinking again about the overall issue, I think it has more to do with "graphical depth"/"pixel density" than screensize itself; for instance I own this too https://youtu.be/Uw3BJ8TJtnw?t=228 an "ORG gaming retro"

It's super retarded, all games are lame and retarded, but it's so lame and retarded it's funny

The screen is something like 1,8 inch, and pixels are so big you can count them on it

I don't have the eyesight issue with it

It could have something to do with the refresh rate or the backlight. Screens on some of those things have to be reject merchandise as bad as they are.
