Retroid PocketRetroid Pocket 5 Retro Handheld Game Console, 8+128G, 5.5-inch Touchscreen 1080p Portable Android Gaming Handheld with Adreno 650 GPU & WiFi 6/BT5.1, Snapdragon 865 Processor, Android 13 (Black)

I bought it a few weeks ago and honestly only have one complaint which ill adress at the end. For starters this thing is damn amazing at everything it does, and it does a lot, its so powerful you can play older pc games as well as older console and modern android games with some modern pc game ports, my favorites of that last category in specific are alien isolation and subnautica, both can and will run at 60fps smoothly when set to do so. The battery lasts for days on end when in lower gaming situations, and on high it will last an entire day damn near, i love this device. i dropped it accidentally and it bounced, it was outside and it fell out of my bag when traveling, absolutely took it like a champ, no cracked screen and it landed on it directly, not even a scratch, only a small scuff on the triggers and the palm rests, thats all. Amazing device super easy to use and customize i just wish it didnt restart itself every 30 seconds when the screen is just sitting off, sometimes ill have it sitting at a spot in a game that i wanted to save and it will restart without my consent, it doesnt do it often when games are active or background processes are running, its as if the device is restarting to make sure its still operational, unsure what that issue is caused from however that is honestly my only complaint, the rest is nothing but love and joy for this device, its amazing

Probably the best money I’ve spent in a while. I’ve become a father and really lost touch with gaming the last 4 years and this is slowly getting me back into it. Nothing better than hitting some GameCube after work on the couch on a nice oled screen. I’ve got switch games running very acceptably all the way down to gameboy advance looking as crispy as it gets. This thing has great build quality and just fits great in my hand *with the grip they sell! I’ve got 2 coworkers to get one and several more very interested. I’ve had emulators since ~2020 and they’ve only gotten better.

Amazing! Playing lots of switch games that emulate perfectly. I’m into rogue lite/like and retro arcade games so there’s lots of switch games that play. It’s all hit and miss but I’m shocked and excited by how many do. It seemed like some reviewers were completely discounting switch emulation with this machine. I’m not sure what games they were trying but I’m satisfied with the selection that do run! In my experience over 70% of roms run well! It’s not quite as good as the steam deck in putting a game to sleep and then waking it up but I it’s close. Android has come a very long way in that department (I’ve been an Apple user for years now). The black colored one is awesome at hiding the black side bars of non 16x9 games. It plays all the Android games, plus every console up to the switch. It plays most PS2 and GameCube games and lots of the Switch games, and then pretty much everything else. Call me happy! I’m not gonna lie, setting it up completely takes time, but if you’re like me that’s part of the handheld emulation game. I actually enjoy taking the time in getting it set up perfectly. So if you’re looking for something all setup and ready to go look elsewhere. This won’t be the handheld for you. If your looking for something with these specs that needs setup from scratch and can provide your own roms you can’t find a better handheld for the money!

This thing is absolutely amazing for what it does. I decided early on that I would use this for N64 and PS1 emulation, but I’ve been able to even emulate Wii titles on this with no issues. This has a ton of horse power to play a ton of game libraries, all in an extremely portable form factor with a stunning OLED screen and impressive battery life. I wouldn’t expect this to play modern triple AAA titles like a Steam Deck, but you can definitely play Roblox seamlessly, so for my gaming needs this is perfect. This is without a doubt my new main handheld for portable retro gaming.

This thing has ran almost everything I threw at it and more. Probably the best budget retro handheld you can get your hands on.....It even ran about 70% of the "Noontwindo swap" games I put on there.This thing is a monster

Was nice for steam remote play and playstation remote play. Also have a couple emulators on there for retro games which is a nice throwback. Paired it with a couple 8bitdo controllers and it's a nice travel gaming companion.

I was absolutely blown away by the quality of this handheld. I have PC handhelds (Steam deck and rog ally x), and I wanted a smaller android handheld. This thing just does it all. On top of that, it is one of the most beautiful devices I've ever seen.This thing plays PS2 and GameCube incredibly well. The oled screen is wonderful. One thing I would say, the ergonomics are a bit rough. This can be resolved by the official grip, which adds a little bit off heft (but it's worth it). Only other complaint is the triggers, but it seems to be an issue with a lot of handhelds where they occasionally click. No big deal.Please consider this device if you are in the market for a pocketable retro device. It hits all the best points while being in that mid range price point.

This product has incredible features and build quality for the price. OLED screen and ability to attach a second screen is compelling even if the ending result is less awkward in comparison to the RP5 by itself. Expect to play up to PS2/xbox/GC
