Both the GPD XP and the Anbernic Win600 are mid-range horizontal handhelds priced similarly and capable of emulating up to Nintendo Wii, but they take fundamentally different approaches. The GPD XP runs Android 11 on a MediaTek Helio G95, making it straightforward to set up with Android emulation apps. The Win600 runs Windows 10 or SteamOS on an AMD Athlon Silver processor, suiting buyers who want a full desktop OS and access to native PC software alongside emulation.
