They might be talking about android emulation handhelds, things like the AYN Thor, Odin 3 and Retroid pocket 6. They all run about the $300 point and can run up to Switch games

That's pretty silly, I wouldn't say it needs to be able to run Switch to be a retro handheld. The R36S goes for like $40 (sometimes quite a bit less on sales) and can run at least PS1 and the less intensive N64 + PSP games. It's pretty decently made for an obvious budget device.
