It's a clone, but still a good deal for a local product and easy returns if you have issues.

usual thing is OS support and SD cards.
It's oos for me
Now $58.20
the purple 128GB is $39.08
EDIT> just checked out and it was $9.69!!
Cancel that - obviously had some amazon credit from a return!
hmm came up as $39 for me but still ok for 128gb version local stock … grabbed one, if still using in 2 mths might look at something better one more familiar with theses, seems so many variants ….
No anbernic, no deal
i ordered this one as local … should i also get something of aliexpress that’s better ?
Anbernic for me, these for my kids. Well, that is what I did a Christmas.
Picked up a Purple 128GB for $39.05. On Holiday next week, so good to get some retro gaming in.
Not sure if it the same as I the one I bought a couple weeks ago, looks like its a clone. Tried to update to the most recent ArkOS with a new flashed SD card and it just gives a blinking red light which I think means just isn't compatible. Tried the other EmuElec OS and that gives a blue light with a backlit screen with no response. I kind of wish I just spent a bit more now because now this thing just sits on my desk taunting me and because I'm stupid I keep coming back to it trying to get it going.
Might be an issue with your dtb file (clone manufacturers use different panels which might not work with the dtb in the image). Try replacing the dtb on your boot partition (try each one until it works) from here:
I read that if you're trying to use a SanDisk SD card it won't work. Dunno if you are, but thought it worth mentioning with how regularly they get posted here
for next day delivery not bad. but pesonally would wait a week to get one from ali, although i think the clones are pretty good these days.
