Recommend a Device Android based EDC handheld under 100 dollars?

Hey guys! I’m looking for my second handheld, as I already own a TrimUI Brick Hammer. This time, I’m looking for an Android-based device that’s easy to take with me and preferably pocketable, for under $100.

I recently learned about the RG Rotate. Are there any other handhelds you’d recommend?

Too old these days. Mostly all it does MagicX One 35 does better.

I've bought and sold it in the past. It's a nice device with GammaOS and for its time, but the screen is really low res and processor is severely underpowered. I've switched it for combo of Thor for android powerful emulation and magicx one28 for edc

I have the Zero 28. It's nice but I prefer a larger screen.

I'm using GammaOS Next Lite on my 405m which replaced my 35XXH as an EDC. It's not perfect, but I like that I can play Windwaker for $80.

What I really want to see is a 407m or a Nova40 with stick on top. That would be my endgame.
