The v4 Takes the cake for mini handhelds The Miyoo Mini V4 is still a fantastic tiny retro handheld: its pocketable design, 2.8-inch IPS screen, and strong Onion OS support make older systems up through much of PS1 feel polished and easy to use. The newest V4 support is much better than early batches, especially with Onion’s fixes for the V4’s higher-resolution screen, but the device is still very small, so comfort and shoulder-button use are not its strengths. Overall, it’s excellent as a cute “always-in-your-pocket” emulator, but I’d pick a larger handheld if you want longer play sessions or more powerful systems.
