Update 5/28/24: Switch emulation is hit or miss. Emu needs 8 GB of video ram to work correctly, and this device is detected as having 5.1gb. I can get wee tiny Roms to load and play, but forget the real deal stuff. However, Dolphin Emu works and looks amazing. Also the device charges slightly quicker but not by much without the controller attached.

Original Review:
At the going price of 250.00, and then add a 1TB U3 MicroSD card (not included, but costs 60ish bucks here) you can't beat this little bugger. I even purchased a case here for 20, and then screen protector (3 included) that is tempered scratch resistant glass for 8 bucks.

I can't speak on the cloud stuff, because I could care less, but as far as emulation, this is a holy grail handheld.

Boot up is quick, and after the updates everything is working flawless for me with no issues. All the release date kinks have all been fixed.

It will emulate everything that RetroArch / Lemuroid states, which in my case I am using Lemuroid (Ad free, no purchase needed on Android app store). Lemuroid, is simple, clean and perfect and detects all the roms, and controls and you'll be gaming for say possibly 10 hours straight if your emulating classics and using low to normal lighting. Classics up to N64 / PS1 era and a few handhelds that came after.

Now current consoles and handhelds like the 3DS PS2, and another that was taken down can also be emulated at like 4k, and they look unbelievable. However, the fan will kick on and the little beast will go into overtime, so you'll get about 5 hours of game time, instead of say 10. Reduce back to 1x rendering and you'll get about 7 hours.

Download all your stuff from the Android app store, including your video subscription stuff and you'll be set. Citra, PS2 and Switch emus have to be sideloaded, which is pretty simple.

Does videos and that lasts a long time too.

Cannot do USB-C extras, like HDMI out, USB-C audio cable out, or an external drive with the controller attached. Controller attached you can only do power pass through. If doing the tablet straight, then yes to all the latter. Daughter and I connect to the TV via HDMI out and two bluetooth controllers and we are console gaming!

Does not come with an AC adapter or lens cloth, which I found odd, but does have USB C to USB cable included.

Man I used to commute from NYC to Woodbridge and back, and where was this handheld back then? It would have helped kill so much time. Worst part was missing the express and getting on the local.

Worth every penny. Don't waste your money like I did on a bunch of retro handhelds from unknown makes that either work subpar, or have subpar controls and screens. Some can't even access the Android store. Some the battery or something else dies like a few months later. For the price of 250.00 it is a done deal and with Razer's reputation, you can't go wrong. Now get yourself one.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's neat for emulation, but there are major asterisks
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2024
Biggest being that there's only 92 GB on board, and while you can expand via micro SD card it's only for roms and other media like MP3's and such. And with some android games crossing the 30 GB mark (COD Mobile and Genshin Impact for example) you really only have room to install a small handful of games if they're that size.

Next is the Razer Kishi controller, it's not bad but it does feel stiff when attaching it via the USB-C port. I feel I have to be really careful not to break it when putting it in. Good thing that other usb-c controllers are also compatible. And the joysticks feel just like a Joycon from a Nintendo Switch, I do not like that as they're rather difficult to aim in shooting games.

What I do like is this has quite a bit of power, meaning a lot of higher end android games can run with no issue (If you have the space for it) as well as emulation of PS2, GameCube and such will run just fine. And those kind of games you can run via the SD card. The screen is quite bright and very vibrant, and an update did improve the battery life. So it's about on average compared to a higher end smartphone.

All in all, with so many Android powered gaming consoles this one is certainly one of them. But likely among the most powerful when compared to the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and the Odin handhelds. Another benefit is the reduced price of $250 when I got mine, which is what others are selling theirs near or at the same price. Don't pay a cent more than that. Otherwise I think you'll have quite a blast with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Solution to a Problem That Doesn't Exist
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024
First off if you aren't too worried about price and don't want a device the size of a Steam Deck that only plays games, then this is the one to buy. I'll explain.

On the surface this is a portable gaming tablet that can handle just about anything on the play store. I'm sure it can handle any mobile game but I haven't played hardly any. If you dig deeper, this is an entertainment powerhouse. Now the problem is, so is your phone. If you are an Android user, I'm sure any newish phone could load up emulators, stream AAA games from xbox cloud or PS Remote play, and handle mobile titles. The reason this is a win for me is 1) I'm an iPhone user, 2) this can play up to PS2 emulation flawlessly and upscale them which works well with the screen size and color profile, 3) this is a separate device dedicated to killing time so it's only as available as I want it to be.

Number 3 is kind of the big win for me. Your phone is generally always with you. The Edge is an accessory. If you game on your phone, you'll kill that battery in a couple of hours. If you're sitting around on a charger then no problem. If not, then you have a few choices to make. I'm not a big gamer, maybe 4 hours a week, mostly because it's time I could be sitting with the family (while everyone is on their phones anyways). Now instead of sitting in front of the xbox or PS5 in my home office, I grab the Edge and go chill with my lady while she watches Housewives and when I get lost in what's going on, I jump on the Edge....still just as lost. Then when I don't want the option, I don't bring it.

Another big use case is for travel. I can play games, watch movies I loaded on a SD card, stream Netflix and alllll the other services on it, do internet things, and all that while I'm in the airport and on planes. Same things you normally do on a phone but I don't have to worry about charging my phone every time I sit down. THEN I can take the controller off and use the tablet portion as a standalone at work and/or play. USB C video out, screen mirror, powerful enough to run virtual desktops, transfer files, MS Office, and so on. Again, things your phone can do but this is a generous screen size with great visuals, decent battery life, and you don't have to sacrifice your main driver (cell phone) to moonlight as a personal entertainment device.

No one NEEDS this or any other portable gaming system but if you WANT one and want something that is more than a one trick pony, this might be the best solution. Steam Decks and those rivals are more polished and better for strictly cloud gaming. The cheaper android emulators from Retrodroid are amazing. Bought one for my spouse who wasn't a gamer until she played with a Retro Pocket 3. Those are only really going to scratch that itch for emulation and mobil games with a smaller, less refined screen and permanent controls attached. Also $100 cheaper but it's built for one purpose. Similar story with the Odin Pro 2. Great for gaming, probably better than this but permanent controls attached so it's a little out of place outside of gaming but its $100-$250 more expensive.

Final point, this is a total unnecessary purchase so either you're into gimmicky tech or not. This isn't a gimmick but not something thats going to blow your mind. It's all in how you use it. Im going to "watch" Housewives and play Far Cry 6 now lol. It plays Far Cry in HD perfectly with the xbox cloud app BTW. Better than my iPhone 15 Pro Max on the same wifi they start off just about the same but my phone starts to drop resolution then drop frames while the Edge seems to buffer up then settle at high res and stay.
