Love my RG556. Does everything I want it to and it's super comfortable. Got it for £135

Really cool video. Upgraded from a GPD XD+ to an RG556 about 8 months ago and love it. That was the first time I ever played PS2 on a hand held, and it blew me away so much I upgraded again a couple of weeks ago and got the Odin 2 Pro Rainbow variant. It's the most perfect hand held I've ever played.The performance, design, build quality, battery life, ergos, screen, sound and control layout are all spectacularly great. Mine is currently set up strictly as a PS2/GooglePlay beast with a library of 480 of my favorite PS2 games plus my GooglePlay library. Everything else is on the RG556.

I bought the 16-bit RP5 as my first and can't wait for it to ship

I agree about the Retroid Pocket 5. I've preordered mine and I got a 1TB MicroSD card on Prime Day. Really looking forward to reliving the joy of my Gamecube and PS2 libraries upscaled on that glorious 1080p 5.5" AMOLED display! I also ordered the dock so I can use it as a console with bluetooth controllers.

I bought the GameCube color RP5 last night and this video proves I made the right choice. Too bad we won't see them probably until late November if people's shipping times reported online are to be believed

I can't wait for the RP5. The white one looks SO clean

[lucasjones]

Awesome video brother. Loved getting to see the breakdown of all of these. I'm definitely in the same mindset as you with these handhelds. Super glad I found my old psp and was able to mod it, makes it awesome for psp + ps1 games and love it for gba.

What would you choose between the rp5 and the odin 2?

[PoiseMuncher]

i got a good deal on rog ally Z1E so got it but I feel like the guy who bought knife to a gunfight using it for retro emulation!!

[JinVinsmoke]

Currently got an Ayaneo Slide and an Anbernic Rg406v. Love the diversity in the gaming community rn, there’s something perfect for everyone 😅

[LARSTAKA-]

The white RP5 looks incredibly beautiful

[masterpol]

I bought an AYANEO Pocket micro and a RP5. Can’t wait for it to ship

Haa!
We in California are already starting to have things freeze at night now with a bunch of rainfall showing up on and off.
😄👍

I went for the Odin 2. Have a Retroid 4 and it lacks power and is too cramped for my hands. RP5 looks amazing but still thinking it’ll feel small in the hands

[seanms]

Give me that Mini OLED screen into a Flip design and I’m sold!

[rainy]

I really want the mini and the pocket 5, cuz the mini would be a dream to carry around. Perfect for travel ❤

And the rp 5 for home use to immerse myself in the game (cuz of the bigger screen). Will def wait till the first rp 5 reviews come out till i buy one. Rp mini would be an instant buy if the price ratio between rp 5 and mini wouldn't be so narrow. So rp5 will be my first buy ❤

[mikepotapa]

Great video but where is the RP4Pro $135? I just bought one from goretroid. The non pro version is 135 and the Pro version is 185.

[Auroclock]

I bought the RP Mini and the RP5! I'm interested in a potential odin 3 with an oled screen more than anything else atm. I really love the specs on the ayaneo pocket evo (hdr / bfi) but I wish it had back buttons like the odin

[Luodai]

I sold my 2s and got the Mini for the OLED. I have a Steamdeck OLED so I just want a small 4:3 companion. Also this runs Android so I can actually map the control and use it as a controller for my mini drone. pretty sweet.

likely going to be picking up the new rp5.. really like the odin but the large bezels of the also non oled screen turn me off. i think the rp5 is the next best thing for me
