Handheld sizes

The size does matter but having a built in protection of the screens is just as important. Only clamshell designs are pocketable imo. And pretty much only GBS SP is it size wise. All others go into my backpack or a separate own case or bag for the console. Sadly the SP are to my hands not nice to hold and play on. Would give the victory to the DS lite. It is small enough to get a pass, can share pocket with other stuff with low risk of damaging the screen and is more comfortable to hold and use. And the battery life is awesome.

I'd even argue the Switch, Switch OLED and Switch 2 are to big for a handheld generally. They are to heavy and not comfortable for longer playing sessions. PSP is probably my sweet spot for handheld size when using it.

Clamshell is my go to as well - I'm not so specific for the size, since I have no problem with AYN Thor or Retroid Pocket Duo sizes, since I don't actually carry handhelds in pocket, but those can actually be carried around in jacket without risk of damaging the screen.

I would love to see Nintendo release 6" screen Switch 2 Lite as a clamshell, even if its without second screen, a la Retroid Flip, and have actual pocketable handheld offering that way.
