      Yeah the Odin 2 Pro does look like a great device, it just costs quite a bit more. I do think it is worth that cost though if you are able to pay it. Your short summary above really describes the RP4 Pro and RG556 well. Thanks for watching and for adding your thoughts

    I bought Retroid Pocket 4 with a grip and it's just perfect. For me the power matters.

      Awesome, glad to hear that you are enjoying it. I clean forgot about optional grips when making the video 🙈. I can imagine that would make it much more comfortable. Thanks for the feedback

    RG556 is £121 via Anbernic's own AliExpress store and comes with the case for that price too. OLED screen, far comfier to hold...

      Those benefits are the reason my opinion has been swaying towards the RG556. When I made the video I was slightly more in favour of the RP4 Pro. But a lot of awesome feedback for the Rg556, It really seems like awesome handeld

    Got both but stuck with RP4P just because its so much smaller and can fit in my hoodies easy compared to the 556

    • @TheTechUpdate-ui1fh
      @TheTechUpdate-ui1fh  6 месяцев назад

      That is one of its main benefits and a good reason to use it. Must say the feedback i have been getting on how good the 556 is has swayed me. If i had the scratch to buy it i would get the 556 first,

    Hands down 556, the OLED is insane for the price and it is super comfortable

    • @TheTechUpdate-ui1fh
      @TheTechUpdate-ui1fh  7 месяцев назад +2

      I must agree, all the positive comments I've seen on it has really won me over. Also the way the OLED looks on the review video's. The display is just so much more alive and vibrant

    It depends, the pocket 4 pro is more powerful and portable. The RG556 has better display and feels better in your hands.
    For the pocket 4 pro you can buy a complement to have a better grip on aliexpress but it would be more price.
    If you want to play PS2 and GC, the pocket pro is better, if you want older games and a better display then the RG556.

    • @TheTechUpdate-ui1fh
      @TheTechUpdate-ui1fh  6 месяцев назад +1

      You are quite correct on all those counts, the RP 4 Pro does have a little more power under the hood. but i have to say that Oled Screen and the comfortable ergonomicso f the 556 won me over. I have had so many positive comments in regards to it from users that i am now converted to team 556, lol!

    • @alibabaschultz352
      @alibabaschultz352 4 месяца назад

      I feel the opposite. The Retroid is better for older games, because of the worse/ smaller screen, and portability. The 556 is better for GC games because of the bigger better screen, and comfort.

      That was my hope aswell but i saw russ over at Retro Game Corps doing a pocket test with the RG Cube and it is a bit Bulky to fit comofortably. This will differ from person to person i guess and the size of the pocket but of the bat im not shure if it will be as pocketable as what i would wan't it toi be. Sad Story.

    • @TheTechUpdate-ui1fh
      @TheTechUpdate-ui1fh  6 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@Ivan-hq2zkthe Chip on the RP4 Pro is slight😢 more powerful, maybe 5-10% that I've seen in testing. Thing is with real world experience you rarely notice that small a difference in performance. It's usually only when running the 2 units side by side on the same games with frame rate counters on that you can notice a difference

      @@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh yeah if you’re leaning towards those two features, the rg556 is better. I just think the performance, quality and the fact that the RP4P is pocketable is perfect. Those are all the features that have me sold on the device. I don’t trust Anbernic’s durability.

      Im in the way back from the 556 to the retroid, had performance issues with some games lika baldurs gate and f zero gx. I must say that maybe 10% of ps2 and gamecube is laggy on the 556 otherwise great machine. If had a bette processor will be a no brainer as the display is 10/10.
