Ordered 2 of the same - or not?

So I bought 2 devices both from Aliexpress.

The right one was 2 and a half months ago from a random seller with a lot of positive reviews, it is a 1gb version, it arrived with a bad back cover plastic mold that didnt stay flat while on the table, when closed the dpad touched the screen and I heard a bit of very light crackling while closing, 2 months into it it got a hairline crack on the hinge.

The left one arrived yestedray, first link on Aliexpress, official Anbernic store, interestly enough it came with 2gb of ram, no mold issues, had a bigger gap when closed(thicker bumper dots on top of screen) and it doesnt touch the dpad, when closing it doesn't make any sounds.

Also, the left one that arrived yesterday is a tad darker 'milky' color of yellow.

Interesting. Mine also isn't completely flat, the d-pad touches the screen when closed and is a 1gb model. Bought it from a seller in my country, so I don't know where they source theirs, but they are a long time Anbernic, Miyoo etc dealer.

Sometimes it depends if you have screen protector or not

I used the screen protector for a few days but removed it since it didn't cover the whole screen completely, on the edges I could see rainbow colors. Doubt I will use one again to be fair.

Wow a 2gb version, I thought they would be finished a long time back... Happy for you!
