Phones are great and all, but sometimes you want some actual buttons. We created this guide to showcase our personal choices for the best Android gaming handhelds. We go over the important stuff, such as specs, what the console does, and what it can run. Some are designed with retro gaming in mind, some are from big names, there are small and big specs available, so take a peek and see if any catch your eye.Best Android Gaming HandheldsLet’s crack on with our list!Odin 2 PRO

What’s not to love about the AYN Odin? Well the Odin 2 boasts even better specifications with its PRO version, which will handle virtually any Android game, and tackle emulation with ease.

The only drawback we see is unlike its predecessor, the Odin, the Odin 2 doesn’t support Windows, or at least not as readily. The original Odin is still available though, so if Windows is crucial, then go for it.
GPD XP Plus

This one's a special one. The GPD XP features interchangeable peripherals on the right side, simplifying emulation customization. That sounds great, but what are the specs?

Abernic RG353P is a robust, retro-style handheld console – ideal for retro gaming enthusiasts. It even boasts a mini-HDMI port! The console's weight lends it a premium feel.

Retroid Pocket 3+

The Retroid Pocket 3+ boasts a stylish, sleek design radiating simplicity – we adore it. While the Retroid Pocket 2S could easily merit inclusion, the Retroid Pocket 3+ is undeniably a superior iteration, albeit at a marginally higher cost. The handheld console's dimensions are ideal. It's neither too compact nor excessively large. It's comfortable to grip and easily fits in a bag for portable gaming.

Logitech G Cloud

We’re big fans of the Logitech G Cloud’s design. The stylish model with comfortable ergonomic hand grips makes gaming a delight. Despite its slim profile, it’s still one of the most potent Android handhelds. While the overall design isn’t as nostalgic as its competitors, the contemporary look is exceptionally attractive. It may look superb, but what are the specifications?
