With all the hype for the RG SP, I managed to get the RG34XX-SP for only $50! (media.piefed.ca)

I'm really happy with this thing. I was considering getting the RG SP but it was a solid $20-30 more expensive, since it's the newest model. Meanwhile, good offers were being made for the 34XX-SP which is basically the same device.

Initial impressions:

  • The yellow model looks great IRL. It's less saturated than in the picture.
  • 4:3 games are really not that small on the screen, the bezels aren't an issue like everyone says they are.
  • Controls are great, they're clicky but not annoying or loud. The bumpers are way better than the ones in the RG35XX-H. I'm surprised how much I love the thin D-pad. The only thing I actively dislike is how loud the function button is.

It'll fit in most pockets but this thing is pretty thick, so you'll have a visible square bulge on your average jeans haha. It's about ~2.5x thicker than my phone when closed. It's just small enough to be pocketable but it's definitely more practical to carry it in bigger pockets or a jacket pocket.

That said, the new model (RG SP) is thinner than this one, so that one might be better. You might also like the Miyoo Mini Flip which is smaller overall.
