The Analogue Pocket can run Game Boy Cartridges. Are there any other, currently-available, clones that can do this?

Game Boy clones, defined as handhelds that clone the function of the Game Boy (specifically original cartridge compatibility) and not just the form of it (i.e. Game King / Mega Duck / block game SoCs ), have been around almost since the Game Boy itself came out.
They've increased in sophistication from the 90s to the present from being LCD gadgets like the GB itself to being in colour, backlit, FPGA-based and so on, and as you've found they're still in production in things like the Pocket.
The oldest one I can find that most closely resembles the Game Boy in technological level is the Game Fighter aka Crazy Boy.
Some later examples include the Super Beautiful aka Super Thunderbolt, KF2000, GB Boy Color, Revo K101, Bittboy, Exeq GameBox GBADVANCE.
