Mega Drive Portable is a brand of portable Mega Drive clones sold In Russia/CIS, China and parts of Asia, South America.
The Mega Drive Portable rather than rely on standard-size Mega Drive cartridges, games was distributed on smaller Game Boy Advance-sized carts which are then compatible with the entire range of Mega Drive Portable systems. Within these carts contains a Mega Drive ROM, likely taken from the internet, repackaged and sold for use on the go.
There are a handful of Mega Drive Portable compatible devices, most of which appear to have been based on pre-existing shells developed by Nintendo.
The console began a new trend in Russia for portable devices. It had certain competitors like MDPortable, DVTech Discovery and others.

Mega Drive Portable (ZW-16S)
This appears to have been the original unit, built within the shell of a Game Boy Advance. All Mega Drive Portables seem to extend the functions of a Sega Nomad, with the ability to connect to a TV screen while having headphone support, a built-in speaker and a 960x240 pixel resolution 2.5 inch screen. The specifications are otherwise identical to that of the Sega Mega Drive. Often they come in a variety of colors too.
