₱15,000+
AYN dual screen
Two panels, for games that were built as a pair of screens.
Ask the shopWhat to look at in the shop.
- The screen. PSP and N64 are where a larger panel earns its price. Stand at arm’s length and see if the text is comfortable.
- Android itself. These units run Android, so ports and emulators share one device. Ask which version is on the unit you are holding.
- Controls. Sticks and shoulder buttons matter more here than on a pocket retro unit. Play one stage before you decide.
- Heat and weight. Heavier Android models above ₱15,000 run warmer. Hold one for a few minutes, not just a photo.
Questions
Is this the same as a phone with a controller?
Close, but the controls are built in and the shop can set the card up before you leave.
Will it play my PC games?
No. For a PC library, look at the Windows page. Android covers PSP, N64, Dreamcast and many newer ports.
