I believe this has better resolution than the Miyoo
Some games may handle better with it, but not necessary.

Biggest reason to buy a Brick (and why it took over the hobby by storm) is the insanely bright/sharp screen on it which is rare in devices of this price bracket. It's an absolute joy to play outside, and shaders look outstanding on it. Processor is also slightly more powerful than most, which makes GBA/DS run better on it (specially with fast forward).
Comfort, controls, and night use are honestly the Brick's weakest aspect. The buttons are clicky (though precise) and slightly hard to press. And its square industrial design look good but isn't super comfortable. Overall it can get tiring to play the Brick in long sessions. Also, the screen is too bright for night use which is a bit of a shame.
Miyoo Mini v4 is slightly smaller than the Brick, but the mushy buttons + more round shape make it more ergonomic. Miyoo Mini Plus is slightly larger though. Albeit both Miyoo devices are a lot weaker than the Brick (they struggle with GBA/Fast Forward/Shaders) and have a screen that's a lot dimmer and difficult to play outside.
If comfort for longer play sessions is a big requirement or you have very large hands, I'd stick to larger devices like the RG40XX, RG405V, or horizontal devices. Albeit personally, I think the biggest draw of devices like these is that they are small enough to take anywhere for short 5-15 minute play sessions anywhere. I have semi large hands and I really enjoy mi Miyoo Mini v4 and Brick and carry one of the two everywhere.
