@SpringDivorce if you have an iPhone, you could not run emulators. And also, having these dedicated devices is great to share in a family. Also, if your phone is owned by your job or used for work, you should limit emulators or any apps that are more "dangerous" to avoid leaking any sort of data.
There's a bunch of reasons for those devices to exist. Maybe none for you, but there are reasons
This is pretty much a clone of the OGA, with shoulder buttons added (and maybe a couple more things, can't recall).
One issue with that, and 2 issue with the OGA.
RK2020 issue: it depends on the OGA firmware/OS development. The OGA team could possibly just block the RK2020 devices, in some ways. Will they do it? I would bet that no, but it's not impossible as the time behind the RK2020 just builds hardware, not software, from my understanding.
Issues with OGA:
you NEED to build it yourself. Sounds fun, to me. But probably not to most people
they are out of stock everywhere and have been for a little while, AFAIK.
The RK2020 had decent review overall. Mostly due to its power and what it can emulate.
In terms of popularity, firmware modding scene and build quality, the RG350 and RG350M are pretty much leaders.
I personally have a New PocketGo v2 (yeah, New + v2, weird, but that's a new revision of the New PocketGo) and it supports the RG350 firmware, but is a bit cheaper (and was easier to get, via Amazon Prime).
I love it! I can play games (I own) on a handheld that fits in my pocket. A LOT more useful than plugging my SNES to play Chrono Trigger (that, I repeat, I own).

No mention of the TV out or Bluetooth support of the Retroid Pocket 2 or did I missed them?
They were selling factors to me! Those features make it kind of a hybrid.

@Grocery-bag I mostly agree with you.

My 2 cents

@Friendly if you're interested in such devices, you can slo check out Taki Udon, ETA Prime and Retro Dodo on YouTube, they cover a LOT of those

I follow and love this kind of device.
