About

Why console-portable.fr exists and how it is funded.

console-portable.fr lists Android, retro and related handheld consoles. The goal: quickly understand what sets one device apart from another, based on verified specifications.

What we do

We gather specifications published by manufacturers, show their source and verification date, and mark values as "Not disclosed" rather than guessing. Each entry also features creator videos and a link to the official store.

What we don't do

Unless an entry has an “Our test” section, we have not tested the console listed. Impressions from our tests are always attributed to that test and accompanied by the video; they never come with a numeric score. A console provided by a manufacturer is flagged in the text. We do not publish invented ratings or reviews.

Funding

The site is funded through affiliate links: some links to manufacturer stores earn us a commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. This does not affect the specifications shown or the order of entries.

Who's behind the site

The site is run by the team behind the Cloud Gaming France YouTube channel, which covers cloud gaming, emulation and handheld consoles. Some videos featured on entries come from that channel, alongside videos from other creators. Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CloudGamingFrance
