The OneXSugar Sugar 1 from OneXPlayer wants to be the noble Optimus Prime of retro handhelds.
Lets hope it doesnt turn out as a pricey, obnoxious Starscream.
The top screen itself also appears to operate on a hinge, though it folds backwards rather than forwards.

Talk about handhelds in disguise.
The 3DS XL, the largest version of Nintendos previous handheld, had a mere 4.88 inches display.
The other big consideration is its processor,Qualcomms new G3 Gen 3 chip.
Thats the companys gaming-specific chip built specifically for Android handhelds.
It supports WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3.
So it should theoretically be powerful enough for newer games rendered very prettily.
Yet we dont have any other details on the handhelds specs, including RAM and storage.
It will also run into competition from other DS-style handhelds.
Since last year, Ayaneo has promoted itsFlip DSthat runs on Windows.
Despite initially implying the handheld was being discontinued, Ayaneoclaimedon its crowdfunding page it is still fulfilling orders.
Its also not going to be for sale for a while.
The company is using anIndiegogocampaign.
