Though I’m not a technical expert on these specifications, what you say sounds very similar to what I have also heard.

But, for some reason, I continuously hear that the Miyoo Mini (not the Plus) can be damaged by attempting to use a power adapter with too high voltage. I don’t have one (the original). The Plus also does come with a little flyer that says to never use any power adapter over 5v, even c to c. I’ve never broken that rule, just because I do not want to prove it to myself that they were correct and deal with all of that hassle.

Wow. I can’t believe a device at this price point had to leave off wifi. That may not be a deal breaker for some (most?), but it is for me. Ah well.

I will post a short summary of some things Russ said (not everything, because I do not want to take views away from him). Would you prefer my comments being part of the main post (which was long this time as I asked questions and preferences) or as a response?

Some things Russ said:

— RP3+ still a great machine. May not be the value king any longer just because of so many new devices coming out.

— He still dislikes the start/select placement on this device. I go much farther and absolutely hate it. It’s the reason I gave my 3+ away and got a Flip instead (which, unfortunately, also has some issues).

— He loves the color option, though it is apparently the only color option available for this metal version at this time.

— The metal feels very good. He does not dislike pressing buttons/d-pad against metal the way he has other metal devices.
