AYANEO Pocket S Mini
https://high-beam-online.com/products/ayaneo-pocket-s-mini
The AYANEO Pocket S mini lives up to its name, with compactness as one of its biggest selling points. The unit measures roughly 167.1 x 77.85 x 18.5 mm and weighs about 305 g, making it highly portable and easy to carry around. The SoC is the high-performance Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 (15W) built for handheld gaming consoles. The display is a 4.2-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1,280 x 960 dots (4:3 aspect ratio). That makes it a touch smaller than the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 to SE3. The screen ratio is reportedly a great match for retro games and vertical-format content, so this device may be especially well suited to retro gaming. The chassis uses a one-piece CNC-machined metal frame, giving it a simple yet premium feel.

For the Japanese domestic version, paid repairs are available at the domestic repair center even after the warranty period ends. That kind of solid repair support is somewhat rare (?) for an overseas product, and it's one of the device's notable advantages.
If you're interested in compact Android handhelds, why not give the actual unit a try?
