I just want a newer Retroid (new chipset) with the color style of the sold out Indigo Retroid 2s. That was the whole appeal - the "Retro" in retroid. The latest retroid mini and even the 5 have some comparatively bad color choices outside of the standard black and white, with the glass finish being too weirdly modern to be playing retro games on.
I’m with you, the 2S looks leagues better than the mini. They should have stuck with that design. Also the Ayn neo pocket can definitely play ps2 games. I have one and I play all kinds of ps2 on it. You can’t really upscale them like you can on the Mini but you can defiantly play a lot of ps2 games.
Depends on your age and your eye health! It’s such a small screen, so older gamers might have a tough time… also, some of us can’t use OLED (2-5%, because of PWM Sensitivity), so we won’t even consider it….. I just bought a RP4 Pro recently and it’s perfect. However, it’s probably the last good device I can get because everything is turning OLED.
@ depends on how sensitive you are and how low the PWM frequencies are. With iPhone 15 Pro Max (bad), my eyes feels something almost immediately. After a few minutes, my retinas would start to hurt and grow increasingly painful … migraines then has a high chance of developing. Oh, if you are really stubborn about it, your eyes would be sore and sensitive to screens / light (even LCD ones) for days. As far as I know, no filter or settings can help.
The new rg406h is also an android device in a very similar form factor with an allegedly great 4” ips panel and similar emulation performance. I’m torn between that and the retroid here.
Wow. What an insightful comment. Is almost as if different people like different things. Because everyone should like and dislike the same things you do. Right?!!
i like the look of 2s but the ergonomics just weren't good to play on. also they should put a 4 or 4.3in screen on it or something. if they bring it back since the screen to body ratio was so small
Question... my grandson is 10, autistic, and into electronics.. he has ipads, tablets, iPhone, switch, and Ps4.. usually has 2 handheld going at once. He has asked for an older 8 bit ... being he said it like that.. I'm not sure which one that is. Lol.. and what, if any that you talk about would be the same. I mean I have gameboys, N ds, psp's, N micro. Which are put away because I'm keeping them nice. I'm old school I am a Ps 1 girl, plan to connect that soon, as I still have my fav games. I still have Atari games..lol. so if you could help with the 8 bit he wants , that would be great... not sure if it's even a handheld..could be a console? Tia. If I can figure out which one it is , I want to get it for Christmas for him.
1:58 i like my retroids grippy bruh
It's alot better than anbernics current offering!
amazing video production. you should have more views
Thanks! This things looks sick in real life, tried to bring that to screen.
Right on the link you shared they got the 16bit color way 🤘
Whats the game at 5:32 ?
How do you like the screen? Many are complaining it's too small.
I think it’s great, if you want a bigger one get the pocket 5
Smooth design
Looks good but I am currentlly happy with my current handhelds.

is AMOLED that bad for PWM?

You might want to consider a y700 with a telescopic controller (G8+ or BSP D8) bigger screen and ips screen. No warranty though
Should have gotten Odin 2

Why do you like the 2s so much? It looks ancient.
i just like the form factor, i know it's probably a me thing. But i like the box.
It looks retro hence the name
Wow. What an insightful comment.
Is almost as if different people like different things.
Because everyone should like and dislike the same things you do.
Right?!!
It looks amazing! These things play OLD games so we want them to look like the old handhelds. Not some sleek new age handheld.

that's got to be why, i just loved the 2S box feel
there is no 4 inch oled
@ that’s why I said in the future if they ever bring it back.
Good video, but you forgot to mention how it handles the Wii
it will play the wii, wii was just a repacked gamecube.
Did you try booting Linux on it?
I didn't, i thought android did pretty well.

I’d get an Anbernic RG35XX Plus and hope for the best. It will play all the way up to nds and give home something to tinker with.
You can’t go wrong really there are so many great options.
They should move the D pad to the bottom and the analog stick to the top.
Indeed... Great Details Video As always...
Ah...
The:
RP-5 mini = A-O2 PORTAL Micro...
