Those things were clones of the PocketGO, which itself was a clone of the GCW Zero.

Anbernic RG350 series was also a GCW Zero clone, and they're up to doing much better things now.

GCW Zero was a Kickstarter attempt to revive what GamePark did with the GP2X / Wiz / Caanoo; open source handheld that had its own homebrew environment and some commercial releases (but realistically most people used it for emulators).
A few of the dedicated GCW Zero apps like the Unnamed Monkey Game demo would run on the GCW Zero clones.

Honestly I'm glad we've moved beyond the days of OpenDingux handhelds, build quality and ergonomics have generally improved too.
The scene is still heavily reliant on the volunteer work of people making working firmwares where the Chinese hardware manufacturers just don't.
