Miyoo Mini Plus (Model Number: Mini Plus) Handheld Game Console Review – Tech Blog

Introduction

The Miyoo Mini Plus handheld gaming console has generated quite a buzz in the retro gaming community, and for good reason. This compact device packs a surprising amount of power and features into a surprisingly small package. After spending several weeks with the 128GB Black model (Model Number: Mini Plus), I’m ready to share my thoughts on its strengths and weaknesses.

Features

The Miyoo Mini Plus boasts a 3.5-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 640×480, offering crisp and vibrant visuals for its classic game library. The included 128GB TF card comes pre-loaded with over 10,000 games, providing a vast catalog of titles to explore. The device also features a comfortable build quality, a surprisingly long-lasting 3000mAh battery (I consistently got over 7 hours of playtime), and supports wireless network functionality for online features (though this is less of a focus than local gameplay).

Performance

The Miyoo Mini Plus performed admirably throughout my testing. The emulation of Game Boy Advance and other classic systems was smooth and responsive, with minimal lag even during demanding games. The 3.5-inch IPS screen proved bright and clear, even in moderately bright environments. The battery life exceeded expectations, consistently delivering more than 7 hours on a single charge, perfect for long gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive and well-placed, making for a comfortable gaming experience. While the device is not the most powerful emulator, its performance for its target game library is excellent.

The only minor performance issue I encountered was occasional minor screen tearing during fast-paced sections in some games, but this was infrequent and didn’t significantly detract from the overall gaming experience.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Compact and portable design, excellent battery life, crisp and vibrant display, extensive game library, responsive buttons, good value for money.
  • Cons: Occasional minor screen tearing in some games, limited to classic game systems.

Final Verdict

The Miyoo Mini Plus is an excellent handheld gaming console for retro gaming enthusiasts. Its combination of portability, battery life, screen quality, and vast game library makes it a compelling choice. While minor screen tearing can occur, it’s a minor issue in the context of overall excellent performance. I highly recommend the Miyoo Mini Plus (Model Number: Mini Plus) to anyone looking for a powerful and affordable way to enjoy classic games on the go.
