desu your phone, or android TV box with controller is by far best option
>can emulate upto wii or psp, heavily depends what phone/tv box you have
>good screen
>durable
>fair battery life (depends on device and what you are emulating)
>can use pretty much any controller via bluetooth or USB
>many choices what emulators you use
>no compromises or limits on what emulators you can use
>no or very little emulation problems
Theres also GPD XD if you want something dedicated and build-in physical controller, but I dont have one myself. As for tv boxes, you can grab t95q for ~50$ and it emulates upto psp at 1080p, or spend more money for nvidia shield TV and you can emulate upto wii.

For example, psp's emulation has tons of issues, like your generic, common games like mario world plays fine, but then try emulating something like super turrican, which was launch title and doesn't use any special chip, yet runs at 20fps/very slowly. N64 emulation is same way, mario 64 runs OK, so does OOT but barely with many issues like missing or buggy effects/graphics, and dont even attempt to emulate anything else because they wont even boot at all. Also good luck finding new, original, working battery for it, third party ones all sucks.

Sure, its more expensive, but if you want quality or good emulation you have to spend little bit more, and most people has smartphone already anyway.
