My first thought was that "Game Boy" was a very generous description of a Flipper Zero, but the linked device [1] is indeed much more similar to the Anbernic-style emulator handhelds, which makes me wonder whether plausible deniability [2] was the main goal of the design, or just a convenient bonus on top of having shells and designs readily available.

[2] The aerial is kind of a giveaway, admittedly.

It is a very expensive HackRF (for which neat cases and UI exist for ages) with goal to be sold to car theft criminals under the guise of a red team tool. Red team tools are often overpriced (just check Hak5) but I am not aware of red teaming car theft. The Russian language moreover is the cherry on top.

It'd be awesome if these handhelds had some kind of ExpressCard like standard they could implement, if they could have some modularity.
Kinda sad Google's Ara with UniPort didn't work out at all; no phones, no embedded embedded, no peripherals, all Google concept basically, afaik?
Maybe the Framework laptop card standard can emerge. USB3 and 4 would be fine! Just so long as there aren't a jumble of wires and dongles hanging off.
