>Even on the ones that are upwards of 50$?
Unless it's explicitly stated that it uses a name brand card like SanDisk or something, generally yes. Don't get me wrong, the SD card will probably at least work and you could get by with it for a while if you were desperate enough. I just wouldn't expect it to last very long without corrupting your data, and some ROMs might be missing. I know Mario and other first-party Nintendo titles are often missing on these cards due to Anbernic and other companies not wanting to get their ninjas on their ass as an example.
>SF3000
These are kind of dogshit honestly. I'm not sure where you're getting S_way from, the company that actually makes them is called DataFrog, and their handhelds even struggle with more demanding SNES games. They also don't make Miyoo devices. $30 is not really even that competitive considering you can buy a horizontal handheld like the Anbernic RG35XXH or TrimUI Smart Pro that can play up to PS1 games perfectly with some N64 and Dreamcast too for only like $50-$60.
If you want my advice, if you're looking for a PSP form factor similar to the SF3000 you posted with a nice quality wide screen for <$60, return or cancel the RG CubeXX order and get a TrimUI Smart Pro off AliExpress with coupons. Pic related is how much it costs me in the US. Then get a 64-256GB microSD from a good brand like SanDisk and a microSD to USB reader if you need one to hook up to your computer to download ROMs and custom firmware if you want to install it.
>What is the situation with Anbernic in general?
Anbernic is fine. They make dozens of handhelds that mostly do the same shit in different form factors and performance tiers, but they all generally work well. If you're really curious about different devices and brands, I'd try to compare the specs and features you want on a handheld on a site like RetroCatalog, and also just lurk moar.
