Slight advantage from lower 1080p resolution (vs 1200p on others). Overall performance roughly the same.
Smallest 6800U handheld, nearly jacket-pocketable. Vita-inspired design divides opinion. Slide keyboard is a big improvement over WIN 3’s haptic version. 6” screen means some squinting for text. Comfortable to play but less hand space than larger handhelds. Performance essentially identical to other 6800U devices. Excellent idle battery life at 8 hr 15 min.
