I'm looking at deals on handhelds, and the Miyoo Flip has an excellent deal going on Aliexpress going on right now. However, it's pretty close in price to its nearest competitors, the Anbernic RG35XXSP and RG34XXSP. The trouble is that those systems have some kind of major hangup in terms of features that prevents me from getting them. The 35 has no analog sticks whatsoever, and the 34 has a wonky 3:2 screen that makes console games really small. As seems to be the usual, Anbernic is so close to perfection. But that gap is where the Flip supposedly comes in.

But as is probably widely known, Miyoo has historically had quality control problems. I've already ruled out getting the Grey SNES color model, because the plastics on that one are supposedly much lower quality than the other colors. So I'm wondering if there's any other reasons I should avoid getting it - everything else aside, it seems like with some custom firmware it's exactly the sort of budget clamshell I'm looking for.

Alternatively, are there other similar handhelds in this <$70 price range that I haven't heard of? Namely pocket-sized, clamshell handhelds with analog stick(s) and capability up to the PS1.
