I just got an RG35xx+ on ebay for $20. It’s good.

$20 is a steal. Congrats!

Yeah I'm not super versed in retro handhelds, but I've seen reviews of products that are not too much more expensive, yet offer like 100x the features and performance. I would imagine the ability to load custom ROMs would be a deal breaker. These review units seem one step away from coming in a cereal box, or as a superhero-themed extra toy you get in a movie theater popcorn combo.

Yeah a miyoo or https://anbernic.com/collections/handheld-game-console would be better. So funny he got the absolute worst.

Not featured in the video, but I've thought about getting an R36S; but I've got a 3ds that can do everything the R36S can do and more if I get it fixed - mine seems to be having a hardware issue...
