Both the Miyoo Flip and the Anbernic RG ARC-S cost $78, share the RK3566 chip, and top out around PSP emulation, so the decision comes down almost entirely to form factor. The Miyoo Flip's clamshell shell protects its screen in a pocket and suits buyers who want something closer to a Game Boy Advance SP feel. The RG ARC-S takes a traditional horizontal layout, which many players find more comfortable for longer sessions.
