There's another dual-screen Android gaming handheld on the way, and it's shockingly affordable
AYN TL;DR AYN's upcoming dual-screen Thor handheld will start at just $249. That's $100 cheaper than the AYANEO Pocket DS, although it's smaller and less powerful. It will be available for pre-order on the official AYN website starting next week. AYANEO rocked the handheld gaming world when it announced the dual-screened Pocket DS, which is set to finally replace the Nintendo 3DS years after it was discontinued. A few days later, AYN swooped in to steal the show with a new, smaller dual-screen handheld called the Thor, and now that pricing has been revealed, it might be the best deal in gaming handhelds. Early-bird pricing for the AYN Thor will start at just $249 for the 8+128GB version packing a Snapdragon 865 processor. That's more than enough power for Nintendo DS and 3DS emulation, at a cheaper price than most second-hand New Nintendo 3DS XL consoles. Pricing for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 version with 8+128GB will start at $299 during the early bird period, with the maxed-out 16GB+1TB edition costing $429. These are incredible deals for a device with two OLED screens and this level of performance, although pricing will increase by $10 to $30 once the early-bird period has ended. This might be the best deal in gaming handhelds, two screens or no. Pre-orders will start early next week on the official website, although there isn't a product page on the website as of writing. We still don't know a shipping date, but it likely won't ship for at least a few months. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority?

AYN This pricing puts major pressure on AYANEO, which just launched a crowdfunding campaign for the Pocket DS, which starts at $399. That device has a larger screen (7-inches vs 6-inches), and opts for the gaming-focused Snapdragon G3 Gen 2 SoC. In our testing, the G3 Gen 2 just edged out the 8 Gen 2, although driver support is better on the mainline chipset. Additionally, one of the main selling points of the Pocket DS, and the reason it took so long to develop, is software support. Android hasn't historically played well with dual-screen devices, and AYANEO has put a lot of effort into building out software to help bridge that gap. So far, we haven't seen the Thor in use, and AYN typically uses a lighter hand when it comes to custom software. Regardless, it's a fantastic time to be a fan of dual-screen handhelds and 3DS emulation. With used 3DS prices through the roof, these new devices provide a solid emulation alternative. AYN also announced the Odin 3 for a more traditional handheld experience, although details won't be revealed until after the Thor goes up for pre-order next week. Follow

I replaced my Steam Deck with a modern Game Boy, and it's the perfect love letter to my inner '90s kid
Back in the '90s, I was a Game Boy kid — I even loved those late night drives back from vacation where you had to wait for passing street lights to see what was on the (non-backlit) screen! But the real beauty of it was the games were purposely built for on-the-go play to instantly hook you. That's something I believe has gone missing in 2025. We're surrounded by vastly more powerful systems like the Steam Deck OLED and ROG Xbox Ally, which do allow for incredible-looking games that tell infinitely better stories with vast amounts of gameplay depth. But with all that complexity, they can take a while to get to the good part, whereas Game Boy games ditched all of that unnecessary guff and just got to the point. But with any sort of old tech fondness, am I looking at it through rose-tinted glasses? I do miss my Commodore 64 (even got a keyboard in honor of it), but when I went back to it, you realize that it just didn't age well. Is that the same with Nintendo's handheld? Well, after daily-driving the ModRetro Chromatic for a few weeks, I can safely say that's not the case. Game Boy games still slap, and the Chromatic is the best way to play them. Let me tell you about it. The Chromatic ticks both boxes of being a seriously premium device, and a truly authentic Game Boy. Whether it's the magnesium alloy body and Gorilla Glass (or Sapphire for an extra $100) screen cover giving serious durability and high-end feels in the hands, or every element from the sub-pixel structure of the display and the feel of the buttons being authentic to the original, this is one of the best ways to play retro games in 2025. There's a lot of things I miss about the original Game Boy, but if there are two things I definitely don't long for, those would be the cheap plastic and the display without a backlight. The Chromatic addresses both of these head-on, and feels all the more premium for it! First, you're getting a 2.6-inch 160x144-pixel IPS display with great color and backlighting, so those play sessions don't have to end when the sun goes down. The subpixel structure has also been worked on to be as authentic to the original Game Boy as possible, and it really shows whether you're in or outdoors thanks to that bright backlight. Also shout-out to the ultra-loud speaker in here too — great clarity and prime for blasting out those 8-bit soundtracks. And second, there's a rock solid magnesium alloy body here, which feels great to hold and gives you a real confidence in its durability. Pair that with either Gorilla Glass atop the screen for scratch resistance, or you could pay an extra $100 and get Sapphire, and my two biggest bugbears about the original handheld have been resolved. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. So if you're like me, chances are you've gone back to the family home and found a shoebox full of old games that you're keen to play. A lot of the cheaper retro systems you can buy on Amazon pack a software-level emulator. It does the job, but can bring with it pesky bugs and issues of lag between you pushing buttons and the character moving on-screen. The ModRetro does this differently with a Field-Programmable Gate Array architecture (FGPA). Basically, rather than throwing the Game Boy game through a software emulation layer, the Chromatic replicates the hardware — the game is actually played without any of that software trickery needed. That guarantees a lag-free gaming experience across all the Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges I threw at this handheld, and the authenticity is backed up by all the small-but-critical decisions made too. The sub-pixel structure and color balance are tuned to match Nintendo's hardware, the PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) buttons have been tested to replicate that same tactile feel. You could even play multiplayer just like in the past with an optional Link Cable. All of this comes together to give you the best look back at your childhood, and not only that, but ModRetro is taking some notes from modern day to enrich the gaming possibilities too. ModRetro is producing its own game cartridges too. Each Chromatic comes bundled with a copy of Tetris, but there are other addictive titles like Dragonyhm and Toki Tori — Ultimate Edition to be had too. But this is where the modern inspiration comes in, because using a feature called Cart Clinic, developers can actually push updates to their games. Just plug it in via USB-C to your PC or Mac, fire up the software and apply the patch. Most recently, this has opened up the insanely addictive Battle Mode in Tetris: the best multiplayer mode from the original title on Game Boy. Basically, as you wipe out lines, those lines are then added to the competing player's screen. It's crazy good fun, and a real showcase example of how you can continue to support these games even after they've been pushed on silicon! Retro fondness in gaming is something we all have, but can be quickly disappointed by when actually going back to said games. To really make it hit right, you need hardware that stays true to the original formula, while embracing modern day tech to enrich the experience. The ModRetro Chromatic does that 100%. With its premium build quality and attention to detail, it's a spectacular Game Boy revival that even comes with charm…literally…each game comes with a charm you can attach to the handheld. Whether it's a quick blast on commutes to work or a round of Tetris between sets at the gym, the Chromatic has never left my side, as every time I pick it up, all the memories come flooding back. Tactility, personality and addictive games. What more could you want from a portable? Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

‘Eden' Review: Twilight of the Europeans
Jude Law plays a philosophic doctor with dentures in 'Eden,' a historical drama that's by turns bracing, glum and absurd. His character, Friedrich Ritter, inspired by a desire to 'save humanity from itself,' and buttressed by a lot of improperly digested Nietzsche, has fled Germany after World War I to build a life on the island of Floreana in the Galápagos archipelago. He and his wife, Dore (Vanessa Kirby), who has multiple sclerosis, live in a rough and ready style, growing vegetables that are easy on the gums. Richter sends prose accounts of his lifestyle to a German newspaper, which turns out to be not such a hot idea, because when the movie begins his solitude is compromised by the arrival of a starry-eyed fan, Heinz (Daniel Brühl), and Margret (Sydney Sweeney), Heinz's quiet wife. If Friedrich and Dore aren't too taken with Heinz's schemes, the island's growing population is further rocked by the arrival of a self-styled Baroness, played with maximum glam-queen entitlement by Ana de Armas and complemented by a few not-too-handy boy toys. Her exaggerated German accent at times sounds a little like Madeline Kahn's in 'Blazing Saddles.' There are erotic shenanigans galore, and as the tension mounts, harrowing acts of violence. It's a little surprising that these proceedings are led by the director Ron Howard, since this subject matter is more perverse than anything he has set his sights on before. The actors are up to the task, however. De Armas is particularly distinctive; she has a tight grip on her character's venality, but also revels in her absurdity. EdenRated R for language, violence and sexuality. Running time: 2 hours 9 minutes. In theaters.
