I have a steam deck, and have used a friend’s analogue pocket. They aren’t even the same category of device, and the analogue is literally the best emulation experience I’ve ever used. The screen, by itself, is a better emulation experience for GBC games than the steam decks default experience.
Yep, ask anyone who owns both. Nobody is playing a Gameboy game on a Steam Deck when they have an Analogue Pocket. Experience is much better, it just feels right on it.
That being said, if that’s not an important thing to you then a Steam Deck will play Gameboy games with near perfect accuracy and no issues, as well as do a million other things. So it’s indisputably a better value.
I would never pitch an Analogue Pocket at someone because if its the kind of thing you want, you already know about it and probably have one.
and the analogue is literally the best emulation experience I’ve ever used
The Analogue Pocket doesn’t use emulation. That is literally the entire point of that device, and the reason they can charge 10 times as much as you would pay for an Anbernic device with the same form factor
I mean it’s fancy, but als pointless since that’s the price point of a Steam Deck, a strictly superior device.

It is not a superior device by every metric.

Unless you try and put it in your pocket
Get bigger pockets.
Let me just dust off my JNCOs from '98. I knew they’d be back!

I can fit my steam deck in my pocket, but only some pants. Nike makes a techfit line that can fit a tablet in your pocket.
fits in my jncos perfectly.
No probs to grind some rails on my blades and keep playing the Vidya on the move with my jncos and etnies
It doesn’t have an actual cartridge slot, so it’s not strictly superior
There are cartridge readers you can connect to your PC if you really want to.
