THESE Are the 25 Handhelds I'm Keeping (after letting go of 75!)

👉In today's video, Stubbs begins to let go of the handheld collecting sickness, and embrace keeping only the handhelds that spark joy (and a few just for utility, and ok, some nostalgia too...hey, this is a process, right?). The collection has been trimmed by 75%, and some of the choices might surprise you!

Since filming this, more handhelds have shown up, and a few have been so good that a couple of swap outs will need to occur. The RG406H is being kept instead of the RG556, as it sums up so much of Anbernic's horizontal form factors so well, and potentially the TrimUI Brick will replace the RG35XX Plus/2024 (thoughts to come).

You may see a lack of AYN here as well. That is because potentially all of their devices may be summed up with just the AYN Odin 2 Portal for the large screen Android segment. We will see if that will be the keeper, or the new AYANEO Pocket Evo that is showing up in a few days (reviews to come on both). I also think the AYANEO Pocket DMG is a contender, but it's still being evaluated (so good)!

PS: Thank you to all of you who picked up devices during the Stubbs Purge-a-Thon sale in our discord Owl Members Marketplace. A number of my devices have also been donated to our year end giveaway!
