Best retro handheld for boyfriend?

Hello, I’m new to retro handheld devices and I’m looking for a good birthday gift for my boyfriend who likes gaming. My budget would be around $100-200, any recommendations on the best device for this price range?

Still the Best Value for as Low as $50 USD (GameMT E5 Plus, Powkiddy X55 2gb)

The RK3566 + 2gb RAM + GammaOS Core combo is still one of the craziest deals in the budget space.

First Joycon Impressions

Well... I set up my first Joycon today. I wasn't sure I was going to like it but I really do! It's probably going to be my only one. After all, when it comes to the retro gaming hobby, I like the usual hardware, especially their chipsets ( RockChip, Allwinner, UNISOC, Mediatek etc...) and trying to see what their limits are. But this joycon is a great way to utilize my old phones that I don't use anymore!

The joycon is a GameSir X5 Lite, the phone is a Google Pixel 6a, and the game is Rush Rally 3 from the Google Play Store.
