Hey everyone,
I'm trying to identify a handheld gaming console I had as a kid—probably around the early 2010s. I’ve been searching all over and can’t find the exact model, so I’m hoping someone here might recognize it based on these details:

  • It had a touchscreen and also physical buttons, with four buttons on each side of the screen.
  • I remember it had 4GB of built-in storage.
  • It didn’t have any analog sticks or gear-like controls—just buttons and the screen.
  • It felt kind of slim and compact, not chunky like a PSP or Nintendo DS.
  • It could play Android games and I believe it also supported PSP games/emulators.
  • It came preloaded with songs like:
    • “Baby” by Justin Bieber
    • “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga
  • My father bought it in Saudi Arabia, likely from a local electronics store or market.
  • I’m 100% sure the model was labeled something like G3300, but I haven’t been able to find anything matching that online.
It might have been an off-brand or rebranded Chinese handheld, maybe made by JXD, Yinlips, or something similar. Does anyone remember this device or own one? Even a photo or name would help a lot—I've been chasing this memory for years!

Thanks in advance 🙏

:unsure::unsure: Dunno, but ask the mods to have this move to:

Should help for better responses :)
 
I'm not sure this is the wrong section since it sounds like we're talking about an Android device!

If you're positive it ran Android games, then to me it definitely sounds like it was a phone-like device in a game console form factor.

However, I don't know of any devices of this kind from the early 2010s.

Do you remember if it had a store, and/or any semblance of phone functionality?
