One of the very best Android hand held reviews I've ever seen, thank you! A couple months ago I started looking for an upgrade to my beloved but dated GPD XD+. Nerding out to reviews before deciding was half the fun. And I found my retro hand held soul mate with the black Anbernic RG556. I curl up with this thing the way people curl up with a good book. I absolutely love it. It's so ultra comfortable to hold and play, build quality is solid, great battery life, the control layout is perfect, the sound is remarkable, it's just the right size, the stunning 1080p AMOLED screen makes every retro game you play on it look completely remastered, the PS2 emulation is waaay better than I was expecting, and the price is unbeatable. I'm not fluid at all in customizing, so I picked up the variant pre loaded with over 4400 games. The factory front end is perfectly fine, and the game library is very deep. Then I picked up a 480 game PS2 library SD card that never leaves the slot. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it is to play my all time favorite PS2 games like MOH; Frontline, RAC and Contra; Shattered Soldier again on a hand held like this. Plus all the GooglePlay stuff too. As someone who was in my early 20's when the original Game Boy dropped, it just completely blows my mind how far hand helds have come, and how many great choices at every price point are out there right now.
The RP4 Pro is awesome. As someone else said the pro has a more powerful SOC in addition to more RAM. You also stated it uses the anbernic front end. It uses retroid’s front end, but it really starts to shine with ES-DE. The pro runs a huge amount of the PS2 library. I’ve been killing my backlog of PS2 games that have been haunting me since childhood.
@David If you are happy with emulation up to GC and PS2 - yes, absolutely. If you want to do Switch and Windows emulation you can't have enough ram. 🤷 Also, if new emulators appear - xbox (360), WiiU and PS3 - I would find it unbearable to have a nice cpu that could do the job, but there's just not enough memory. So I went for the Max and did not regret it one second.
I bought and love my Steam Deck OLED, but really wanted a pocketable companion to it. I tried out the RP2S and loved everything about it except for the screen size. It was slightly too small for my eyes to enjoy, ultimately giving me headaches with longer play sessions. So, with that I decided to sell it and upgrade to the RP4P (because to me it's a better value than the base 4 being double the power, and I didn't mind dropping the extra cash) and I love it on a very similar level to the Steam Deck. It's the perfect budget friendly powerhouse companion for my use case. Great video man!
There is more of a difference with the RP 4 vs the 4pro than just one has more ram. The more expensive 4pro has a way better chip in it and can play just about every ps2 game just fine. The 4 has a dimensity 900 chip and the 4pro has the 1200. Also the 4pro can do 1080 video on your tv though the usb-c port on the bottom, the regular 4 can’t. It only does 720p through hdmi.
The 4 pro is way more powerful, but let's not pretend it can play just about any ps2 game just fine. It has the same issues as the original odin. You will have to tinker and experience issues in probably 40% of the games you play. It is by no means an odin 2 that actually will play ps2 without any tinkering as long as the emulator allows it.
@@creaturecore13 I’ve got one and I have not had any problems with any PS2 games I’ve thrown at it besides the ones that don’t run well because of the emulator itself, not the hardware. If you’re playing games at 720P or even native if you have to and not 1080P like the Odin 2 I would argue that this thing could play 90% of PS2 games.
I thought when you said emulators in the title as in software like Yuzu or NetherSX2... I usually call or known these devices as retro handheld or dedicated gaming device. 🤔 Still a very great list here my friend! 👌
I have to disagree on the rp4 pro, I've left it on for days in sleep mode and while the battery does drain I'd say it holds up, and you can get native controller support just switch the control style from retro to Xbox and apps will recognize them. Also the difference between the base and pro is more than just 4gb of ram, the processor is substantially more powerful and you can get 1080p video out. The pocket Air is discontinued so you can't buy it from Aya any more and I think you really undersold the emulation capabilities of the 720g in the G cloud. Other than that I'd say this is a solid list.
Nice video!!! Odin 2 is the android daddy... but its cost almost the same as a steamdeck, before, with yuzu on the market, it would have been interesting to get one (and also to play warzone mobile), but now, android limitations are real, steamdeck is getting cheaper.. and switch 2 will come next year. So it's a little harder to fork that kind of money. I would love for retroid to pull something from the anbenic catalogue and do a RP2s with square screen or a 4 inch, and a RP4pro with a 5 or 5.5 screen ... that would do a lot for the PS2 games that we can play. (I had rp2, Rp3 and 3+ and got rid of all.. staying with linux devices for the time being).
Hello Excuse me but I would like some information please, what is the spaceship game you play on the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro in 3:20 min of this video? thanks
its crazy how the anbernic 556 is way ahead of the top 5 pics cause although its not the best at 150 $ with coupons u can buy 2 of them vs any other of these hand helds and it being compaired in the same video is a testamint how good the 556 is
First of all thank you for the review. But if we get 5€ everytime the word "fantastic" has been used in this video, probably we could buy all of the handhelds. 😂 Greetings from Portugal.
Retroid pocket 2S! Plus a ROG Ally X and youre set for everything in the gaming world libraries. Wish i could hold a RP 4 pro before buying but its shipping is the problem. Id like to test the pocketability. The expensive big android handhelds that can't fit in a pocket easily don't make sense to me vs a steam deck, Ally X, Ally, and the other very powerful PC handhelds which overlap in price range
I have seen a retroid pocket 4 pro doing both, so I can vouch for that one -- and the Odin 2 is more powerful so you'd get even better compatibility and performance. Plenty of videos demoing each system, search for "(console) 3DS" etc to see demos and figure out if the performance is what you'd want for your own needs
Its $400 with shipping plus I am a bit worried of import tax on top...any other device that you would recommend? I have Steam deck but when I travel sometimesnits too big to carry 😮
To me, it seems odd the desire for a pocketable device that still ends up not really being that pocketable with the sticks and triggers sticking out. At that point, improve the ergonomics to make it enjoyable for its actual intended purpose which is playing the games. It’s kind of ironic to me that the RP4Pro has the smaller and lower res screen but stronger chip than the 556, which has the way better screen and ergo, but lacks the power to fully run the GC and PS2 library upscaled making use of that screen. Seems that it would better off switching chips, and so I think the next improvement of the 556 will be a fantastic bridge between the $200 RP4Pro, and the $300 Odin 2. Maybe Anbernic can get a better bulk price for the SD 8 Gen 2 now that it’s a couple years old, and reap the benefits of emulation and graphics drivers improvements that have come out in recent times.
Daaaaaaaamn, the RP4P got done dirty in this review. What are you talking about the difference is 4GB of memory? That's *a* difference. It also has a way more powerful processor that has almost twice the throughput in benchmarks along with HDMI out on the USB-C which the base doesn't have, all for $50 more than the base. You relegated it to what's basically the most pocketable "streaming device" because of this but the extra money changes the dynamics entirely, as you can play the majority of the PS2 library as I understand it, yet you wrote off the bulk of the PS2 library. And I'm surprised the Odin 2 mini didn't get brought up.
Everyone thinks the Logitech G Cloud is a joke till you get it going moonlight/sunshine and tailscale. Then all a sudden you have your whole pc with you running smooth at 60fps. Doesnt matter that it might not have a super poweful chip when the back end is your gaming PC.
I've been saying this forever I got a used g cloud from a buddy for 100 bucks nothing wrong with it. I don't have a pc so I just stream my console on it and it runs flawless and I haven't come across a game up to ps2 and gamecube that it hasn't been able to play
Good review, thanks. I only wish you mentioned how well they Odin and Air run windows games through Winlator or Mobox. Most of my old favorites are PC games because that's all I had growing up, and that's how I learnt to emulate through no$, desmume, visual boy etc etc etc. Now it's the reverse, I'd like to emulate up to Mafia 2 or Don Bradman Cricket 2014 for PC on a budget handheld; my phone can run the latter, so I figure the Odin should also. I want something optimised for gaming. I may get the Odin 1 pro, or 2 base, but it's a $100 price difference so I'm gonna think hard.
If you have a PC you can stream most anything to the handheld. But any low end game from 2015 and back should be fine on the Odin. It's really if the software ports are there or not.
Might as well just wait to be honest I own am rp4 pro and g cloud so I really don't need the odin 2 it's more of a want. But I can wait for the next device
As a RP4P owner I haven't found any issues with any ps2 games, and that's most of what I play. Nor issues with sleep mode, I never turn mine off and keeps battery very well. Also TLDW for the video: Get the RG556 if you want the cheapest, get the RP4P if you want the most portable, get the Odin2 if you want the best as long as you can afford it. The other 2 are irrelevant and don't have anything particularly good about them.
Android will give you more software. With the Linux distro you basically get what's on there unless you know how to code and update it yourself. I prefer android for larger more powerful devices and Linux for smaller ones like the Miyoo Mini.
I like the Logitech G Cloud and I like it's rationale for existing. I went with the ABXYLUTE One instead though. MUCH better price with the same design language but it's no where near as good at emulation as the Cloud though.
Yeah honestly my g cloud emulates very well but agree that it's price point is still high for what you get, if you can get a used one do it I got mine for 100 bucks
I've had my eye on both the RP4 and 4Pro since their announcements respectively. Air looks really attractive to play Hoyo & Android games but the price point is holding me back. Unless there's a crazy sale on them.
Ok the first thing you should mention is storage capacity and battery life. I like the ayin colors but could be more pink yellow light turquoise and white for the buttons or something
I think you shouldn't have added the emulator on the title. I thought you are talking about the emulator apps. It should have been android handhelds. Its a good video though. Kudos to you.
You arnt going to find anyone posting links because at roms are a Grey area, if you search on Google you will find legitimate sites that sill host roms, 16bit and 8bit era are very easy to find online, ps1, n64 and psp aren't difficult either, anything newer it becomes much more difficult to find sites willing to host those games as they take up way more space and are much more likely to attract the attention of the companies that own the rights to those games, if you buy an anbernic device most of them come with micro SD cards that are loaded with roms from a number of systems
@@turnbasedtoddy7664 nice. Ive had mine since Nov. It was great until I started using Aether and nether for PS2. Talking at least two battery draining sessions a day with little or no breaks except when charging. With the grip on the back it gets very hot. Be careful, have fun.
I picked up a Logitech on Amazon for $200.00 and dont really agree with the "up to PSP" emulation I have PSvita (Boarderlands 2 and Person 4 Golden run near perfect), and a ton of Gamecube and 3DS running well on this device have not yet tried PS2 but its next on my list
@@jcjarrett0364Similar here. I got 3 G Clouds from eBay. They were New Open Box for $200 each. Play everything up to PS1 great. Play Dreamcast near perfect with a few hiccups. It does PSP well in natibe but not in higher resolutions. Also, does the Xbox Game Pass real well.
@jcjarrett0364 it plays most games on ps2 well with some slow downs, but nothing that's crazy. I would say I averaged between 45-55 fps on all the sly Cooper games. Gamecube plays great on it, and it streams my xbox and Playstation flawlessly
Honestly logitech nailed it with the g cloud. If they really wanted to take over the android handheld gaming just put the snapdragon that's in the odin 2 inside the g cloud sell it for 400 and there's no competition
Razer edge is better than some of these devices. No compatibility issues, OLED display, 144hz, and good ergonomics. Also, great for media consumption and you can get it with a sim card
I never understood the appeal of these devices for people who already have the latest phone. But, now I realise I could save money buying a cheaper phone and save my phone's battery life at the same time. I would want atleast snapdragon gen 3 tho, so I can play ps2 at 4x-8x resolution.
I want F-Zero GX + OLED + POCKET rg556 - too weak and too huge 4 pro - good power but no oled Pocket air - ugly, and weak g cloud - mmm compression yum odin 2 - awesome power but no oled, huge and expensive rg353v - looks uncomfortable 2s - I love how it looks, great audio, sadly meh power for PS2 and Gamecube and no OLED closest I found what I want is Ayn Odin 2 mini, but still that is insanely expensive and it has mini led not oled Steam Deck OLED is great software and hardware wise but wayyyyyyyyyyyy too large
3:25 is such bullshit. I never turn off my RP4Pro, I leave it in sleep mode and it loses mere 1% of battery over night. With a game running in RetroArch.
13:50 time stamp. IMO, I'm not sure if you have multiple emulators or not(maybe not), but I've seen more variety on all devices listed. They can emulate(ps1, ps2, dreamcast, N64, all of Nintendo, Xbox & Xbox 360, GB, GBA, nds, 3ds, and even PC games from Xbox one to today.

Subscribed because you answered the question I been dying to find out, how does it feel in your hand the Odin 2 - finally someone answered it.
you missed the part about the rp4 using a different chipset which is a huge difference not just the ram difference

odin handheld is kind of expensive base is 300. So my budget is 200 max i think the rg556 is the best option?what you guys think? I manly like psp.
i have it, its very comfortable and good but for ps2 emulation, its kind of OKish
I am in 2 minds regarding the console options...thinking about Odin 2 or RG556...which one would you prefer? 😊
If you can get the Odin 2 for a price close to the 556 it’s a way more beefy console. I’d go with that one.

@@joelguzman7836 Can you tell me why?which Is the difference between them?I only know that only has Better battery Life.
Budget beast : 556. / Money throwing : Odin 2 < ultimately the 556 has newer Android version than Odin 1
Fantastic! 😁
my rg 35xxx h do not run psp properly is there somenthing i can do?
Buy psp 3000 jailbreak dude
are there emulators on PC? These devices are nice but I would prefer not to play on a handheld. Can anyone help me out on this?
Does the Aya Neo do ps2 emulation?
Talk about the Odin Light little nuts 😂😂😂😂😂😂 🔥 Device❤
If you play PS2 and GC games on the rp3+ you'll cook your screen. Get a device with active cooling if you want to play PS2.
I’v been doing it for a year with no problem.
@@turnbasedtoddy7664 nice. Ive had mine since Nov. It was great until I started using Aether and nether for PS2. Talking at least two battery draining sessions a day with little or no breaks except when charging. With the grip on the back it gets very hot. Be careful, have fun.
Thanks for the video👍
Bros hellbent on being able to play Genshin Impact 💀
I've always considered buying the Retroid Pocket 2s, but I'm hesitant because of the tiny screen.
You can get the retroid pocket 3plus instead, more powerful, larger screen and is cheaper than the rp4
That Logitech cloud is overpriced! You can get an Ayaneo Next Lite that would run circles around that thing at the same exact price.
what the screen on the lite?
I picked up a Logitech on Amazon for $200.00 and dont really agree with the "up to PSP" emulation I have PSvita (Boarderlands 2 and Person 4 Golden run near perfect), and a ton of Gamecube and 3DS running well on this device have not yet tried PS2 but its next on my list
@@jcjarrett0364Similar here. I got 3 G Clouds from eBay. They were New Open Box for $200 each. Play everything up to PS1 great. Play Dreamcast near perfect with a few hiccups. It does PSP well in natibe but not in higher resolutions. Also, does the Xbox Game Pass real well.
@jcjarrett0364 it plays most games on ps2 well with some slow downs, but nothing that's crazy. I would say I averaged between 45-55 fps on all the sly Cooper games. Gamecube plays great on it, and it streams my xbox and Playstation flawlessly

Honestly logitech nailed it with the g cloud. If they really wanted to take over the android handheld gaming just put the snapdragon that's in the odin 2 inside the g cloud sell it for 400 and there's no competition
Great Video
i love my rp4 pro its great runs ps2 games great only a few ive had issues with and mario kart wii runs great as well
AYN Odin 2 is the goat
Diablo Inmortal has controller support man
Razer edge is better than some of these devices. No compatibility issues, OLED display, 144hz, and good ergonomics. Also, great for media consumption and you can get it with a sim card
Gonna be honest i thought the G Cloud in the thumbnail was a joke😭
All these sub par devices couldn't decide. I got the lenovo y700 8.8 inch android tablet with a gamsir g8. It's light and fast.
2022 or 2023?
@@Pekkuツ 2023
@Pekkuツ there's a 2024 model coming. Should have waited a bit longer. Bit trigger happy on the buy button.
@@ivana6141 i have the 2022 tho, i should've wait a lil longer, lol
I got the 556 but can't figure out how to download more games
Try downloading roms on your PC then copy and paste onto the SD card
I really appreciate the information you provided but there’s WAY too many cuts. I damn near had a stroke watching this!
😂 just a bit too fast? I try and keep retention up, I'll keep the pacing in mind.
NEW Project:
RaZeR Edge Tablet only... 6gb ram / 128gb internal storage...CpU...Snapdragon G3x gen 1 / cooling fan system...
Or
PiMaX Portal Tablet only... 8gb ram / 128gb or 256gb internal storage...CpU..Snapdragon XR-2 / cooling fan system...

pausing the music when looking at your face doesnt work like you think it does. its honestly kinda jarring
I never understood the appeal of these devices for people who already have the latest phone. But, now I realise I could save money buying a cheaper phone and save my phone's battery life at the same time. I would want atleast snapdragon gen 3 tho, so I can play ps2 at 4x-8x resolution.
Nintendo is already: REEEEE
ayn odin 2 us the best thing is a emulation beast
That’s weird that your 556 has battery issues, mines been fantastic, loses maybe 1 -2 percent overnight….
My anbernic has bin running on the same battery for three days. Gaming on And off.
I want F-Zero GX + OLED + POCKET
rg556 - too weak and too huge
4 pro - good power but no oled
Pocket air - ugly, and weak
g cloud - mmm compression yum
odin 2 - awesome power but no oled, huge and expensive
rg353v - looks uncomfortable
2s - I love how it looks, great audio, sadly meh power for PS2 and Gamecube and no OLED
closest I found what I want is Ayn Odin 2 mini, but still that is insanely expensive and it has mini led not oled
Steam Deck OLED is great software and hardware wise but wayyyyyyyyyyyy too large
Too picky My friend
@@stormk-1130 not really i just want pocket + oled + can play f-zero gx
Damn you got some requirements, good luck let me know what you settle on!
What game is that at 4:24 ?
Auto modellista
got 556 160$, all others around 300$, i rather go steam deck if im going 200+.
3:25 is such bullshit. I never turn off my RP4Pro, I leave it in sleep mode and it loses mere 1% of battery over night. With a game running in RetroArch.
Awesome sauce
G cloud play PS2 games you can see video on RUclips 50 games are tested. Dreamcast no problem. Pc games form '90 no problem. GameCube no problem.
Come onnn you can't make this vid right before the Odin 2 mini SMH
How about RG cube
It's on its way to me, but I think it would fall into my extras catagory.
Having a best android handheld is like having a favorite time you got kicked in the nuts. Linux is so much better
Nah pure Linux handheld sucks in terms of battery life unless you're nerfing the power hard..
13:50 time stamp. IMO, I'm not sure if you have multiple emulators or not(maybe not), but I've seen more variety on all devices listed. They can emulate(ps1, ps2, dreamcast, N64, all of Nintendo, Xbox & Xbox 360, GB, GBA, nds, 3ds, and even PC games from Xbox one to today.
Use chapters
Cool
Did you even play Diablo Immortals? It has full controller support 😂
Quick someone gift me one of these lmao 😂😂
nice🎉🎉🎉
ODIN 2 MINI IS OUT !!!!!!WATCH A REVIEW ON IT YOU'LL SEE ITS TOP 1!!!!!!!!!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️
The regular Odin is better
Review coming next week for mine. Stay tuned
@@LuisPerez-5 I can't fit the Odin 2 in my pocket though
@@GhostLinx . And? Every review says the Odin 2 is better so...
@@GhostLinx . The mini is too small. I got cramps watching the reviews lol. If it fits in my pockets it's too small
You have so much info wrong I don't know how nobody has called you out on it 🤦
Analog is not the same as hall effect
The
Diablo immortal does have controller support.. been playing since first release and been using xbox controller. It doesnt need a mapper.
I think im tired of the word fantastic now😂😂😂
Great video
