WDYM? The MagicX Mini Zero 28 has the Allwinner A133P, same as the Trimui Brick. And almost every single Anbernic device in this price bracket (under $80 USD) has the same recycled Allwinner H700 which is actually weaker than the A113P.
I suspect you might be comparing this to the T820 series of Anbernic devices (RG406H, RG556, RG Cube, etc) which are much more powerful + capable of PS2 emulation, but they cost 3x the price of this of average. So not exactly a fair comparison.
At $49, this seems like a pretty decent deal. Its main PROs + differentiating factor seems to be it's build quality/controls/speakers/screen is considerably above average for the price, it's smaller size, and that it runs Android (most devices in this price range run Linux) which is a good/bad thing depending on user preference (Linux is easier to configure initially but harder to customize long term, plus no android app support). The biggest downside I could spot is Custom Firmware support has been generally lacking compared to Anbernic (thanks to them recycling the H700 over so many devices, they have MANY CFW options)
Probably a decent first handheld or if you're someone who just wants to buy it to play games. Albeit if you are someone who likes to spend more time tinkering than actually playing, the lack of CFW options might be dissapointing.

I think even retro handheld enthusiast would complain about the screen being too small. There are larger screen handhelds that can still fit in your pocket, if that is what you are after.

It's about the same size as the GBA screen and I've played that for 20 years. Some stuff won't work great, but a lot of old games have large print to compensate for crappy TVs

I dunno, I think I would consider myself one? I've bought at least a dozen total in the last 3 years. And I totally see the use case of this being a solid EDC middle ground worth buying as both first option, or complementing other larger handhelds.
Unlike micro handhelds that are too uncomfortable to play (RG nano) or see due to the small screen (Trim UI Smart). Or larger 4" handhelds that are pocketable but still large and heavy enough for you to second guess taking it to some places (RG40XX)
I'd buy this if I didn't own other mini 3" handhelds like the Miyoo Mini v4, Brick, and RG28XX

I can add any color to cart and buy ATM through the app. This is a good device. I have the older model (magicx xu mini m) and love the form factor. This one has a better CPU and has android (non-touchscreen).

Just keep in mind the screen is tiny. It's great to just have in pocket when on the go for quick plays, but for longer periods like playing mostly at home or a desk at work, get something with a bigger screen.

Be careful with these. Heard in the news that a reviewer of these got arrested because the authorities assumed they had "fell-off-the-back-of-a-truck" copies of games.

Don't be surprised if you get a knock in the future after buying these devices which have no other legit use than playing....what do the kids call them....romhacks? homebrew? Yeah, sure, uh huh, gotcha.
