Hardware Ranked keeps the handheld research in one place. Every device gets an HR score from 0 to 100, built from critic reviews and community ratings. It is a lot more useful than trusting one person’s top-five list forever.

The rankings stay live. When critics review something or members change their ratings, scores move and the leaderboards move with them.

A device page puts the useful stuff together: specs, critic and user scores, current prices, and the original MSRP.

Check Where to Buy to see whether a deal is actually a deal. Keep scrolling for critic reviews, community ratings, and the discussion. If a spec looks wrong, you can flag that too.

Stuck between two handhelds? Hit Add to compare on either catalog card. The compare tray will wait at the bottom while you keep looking.

Open it for the side-by-side comparison. Specs, scores, and prices line up so you can see what each device gains and what it gives up.

Start in the device catalog and filter by the things you care about. Switch to Ranked when you want to see where everything lands. The leaderboards give you the full list.

Still not sure? Open Games & Consoles, pick what you want to play, and we will narrow down which handhelds can handle it.

You do not need an account to browse. Sign in when you want to rate a device, join a discussion, or keep track of favorites and the handhelds you own.

Found a bad spec? Hit Suggest a correction on the device page and send us the correction. If you already review hardware, meet the critics and see how to apply. Everyone else is welcome in the community.
