I had a Galaxy S4 with a moga pro and it was a great emulator. Had 64, psp, Genesis, 2600, NES and psx emulators running on it.
The only reason I don’t use it is that I always get decision overload with emulators and it turns me off playing them. I’m more a stick the original cartridge in the system guy. But as for its performance I never had any complaints.

You mentioned retro pie handhelds. I’ve seen kits called Freeplay that aim to cram a raspberry pi into a gba shell. Looks like there’s a lot of caveats. For instance, you need to modify the gba shell yourself with razor blades and files. It’s not exactly cheap either. The kit doesn’t always include everything you need. Some versions you have to buy your own battery. Some kits you have to buy your own raspberry pi. Every version you have to bring your own gba.
I would look into android handhelds with real buttons. The top dog here is probably the GPD XD by GamePark. They’re (more or less) the same company that released the GP32 and the GPWiz.
There’s also the JXD line of handhelds. They vary in price and screen size. They’re all made in China. I’ve heard some less-than-perfect reviews.
