- − Limitations for PS2/GC generation: While Snapdragon 662 performs very well for PSP, it lacks the power to run heavier titles from PS2 or GameCube.
- − Near-mono audio experience: Although it has dual speakers, the sound quality lacks the richness of flagship devices and is standard.
- − Initial setup hassle: Being an Android device, it requires customization such as app installation and settings, unlike Linux dedicated devices that are ready to play immediately.
- The community often highlights that "it is astonishing to have Snapdragon 662 and 1080p display at this price point." It is particularly appealing for users who want to play PSP games beautifully at three times the resolution.
- On the other hand, it is important to understand that compared to high-end devices with higher-tier SoCs (like Snapdragon 800 series), there are limitations for post-PS2 performance.
