The Smart Pro pairs a roomy 4.96-inch 16:9 screen with a remarkably slim shell and outstanding 8-hour battery life. The Allwinner A133P is modest but capably runs PS1, PSP, Dreamcast and DS, and the device shines once loaded with CrossMix-OS or Knulli. The stock software is basic and there are no analogue triggers, but for a slim, long-lasting, widescreen budget handheld it is excellent value.
