I haven't heard of any of those. My local post office sells handheld consoles with built in games for around $30.
They all support similar console (up to ~PS1), so it just depends on form factor (vertical/horizontal, screen size, button layout, etc) and custom OS.
I own all three and rotate between them depending on what I've playing.
All of these have the option to save game and start from where you left?
I bought one from kogan for $15 but it deosn't have any option to save games. Have to start all over again.
Yep, with custom operating systens (ie. OnionOS for Miyoo, MuOS for Anbernic, Crossmix OS for TrimUI).
So I have to install the custom OS or do they come with these OS instaled?
Assuming you want to play up to PS1/Dreamcast games? Other question maybe to ask is your own preference on portability/form factor and screen size. Personally, a slightly better onboard chip or screen resolution isn't going to make a world of difference as it's not my main device for playing games. It only comes with me if I am going to be away from home for extended periods and even then it hardly gets played.
I've only purchased two of these Chinese handhelds and appreciated the wider one with the bigger screen size over the more smaller Gameboy types where your hands a closer together. Your eyes will also thank you if you are a little older and originally played these as a kid.
I don't know any of these, but you can get SFC etc at this budget, the games on other hand
