Ah have fun!

[@wizzel22]

Me too.

[@Sepharite]

I feel like yours and Russ are the top quality videos in terms of production and look. Great work. I hope you get to 100K subs soon.

[@adinwalls]

Wow, thank you!

[@Guitario666]

I think from a price to performance with screen size thats also oled, this is the one. And get this one in black so that 4:3 bezels blend in.

[@OlderBudde]

Regarding your point about the black bezels, that's exactly why I chose the black model. I can't wait for mine to ship! 😊

[@SeeIn2D]

Great to see that the RP5 is as great as the Mini. I’m loving my Mini so I was sure the 5 would be just as good for people that want a bigger screen but great to see that actually confirmed.

[@chrisharrison3374]

Thank you, for actually spending time on ergonomics! We can all gobble up specs but given these devices are practically quite difficult to return, it's good to get an idea of whether they might be comfortable for long play. Amazing how few testers doing this with any effort.

[@adinwalls]

Thanks I am trying!

[@suhtangwong]

I was always retroid pocket all the way. Last device I had was the rp4 pro. Still an amazing device, but the screen was way too small for me. Finally upgraded to odin 2 and what a change. I still prefer the rp4 pro with grip over odin 2 but bigger screen is better for me. (got a deck but too big to haul at times)

[@joec6465]

You're one of the only reviewers i know who talks about the odin 2 mini and one of the first to compare it to the rp5. So thank you!!! Im on the fence. I have a odin 2 mini pro on order but ayn is delayed due to back order of the black unit. The screen really entices me and i wont deny the dpad is also a positive. But i really fell in love with the form factor of the odin 2 mini. I wish it had an oled screen. If you had to pick between the two, as your daily driver, price not beong the issue, which would you go with?

[@seitostockman]

@@joec6465 interesting that the black o2 mini is on backorder I didn't know that. Regular o2 black used to be unavailable a lot earlier in the year

[@Patrick-bn5rp]

Well, the Odin 2 Mini IS a lot stronger, which makes it less fiddly for emulation and gives it more capability. Shame it doesn't have an OLED screen though. Real question is if you want to pay that extra 100 bucks for that power.

[@nelsonnelson31]

Think I might skip this one and wait for the RP6 MINI 😂

[@brianrenninger4169]

@@driftitlikeyouownit Unfortunately it doesn’t always work like that. Right now we have a cheaper option in purchasing products produced overseas and the more expensive( though perhaps higher in quality) options produced domestically. After the tariffs go into effect, we’ll be stuck with two expensive options. Tariffs are useful in encouraging domestic production in some areas, but it’ll be a long time before we have the infrastructure to produce at a competitive level.

[@nickmorgs]

This was great Adin. Feels like you've found your mojo again. The excitement for the device really shines through ! Would be great if you could do a video dedicated to the Linux functionality in the future, when it's available. Thanks buddy !

YEs I may just do this. I am trying to think of something a bit different to bring to the conversation next week and I think Linux and a few other odds and ends may be the answer

[@RaymondwLin]

When I set up my Retroid Pocket 3 Flip the first time, it took me all evening. Compared to about 20mins in Miyoo Mini or RG35XX devices with Onion/Garlic or even Batecera. Andriod devices is doable, but certainly not easy.

[@adinwalls]

No not easy. But I really like Android for retro gaming.

[@jjayala]

Happy to see this. Im a newer rp4 pro owner i got it for my birthday, then on my birthday they announce the 5 haha. I like mine a lot but happy to see this.

[@adinwalls]

Hey man. Yes I think just make peace with the fact that you got a really special device. The big change in design just makes your 4 even more special!

[@rawdiggitydog]

Get video! I really enjoy this format. I like that brought up Madden in your first look as well. My 30 plus friends I grew up with, we still love to play the older Maddens because they are better than the new ones. But a lot of handheld reviewers don't talk much about any of the sports games.

I was deciding between the RP4 Pro and the RG556 for a week or two. Luckily I waited, this seems (nearly) the best of both worlds. Definitely my one and done secondary device after the Steam Deck. Nice review!

[@adinwalls]

Oh it's way better than the 556

[@thegrumpygamer3081]

This looks really nice, but the stick layout is not for me, I have the RG503 in my collection and just cannot not get on with it, whereas the RG cube I can.

[@adinwalls]

RG Cube is in the running for my device of the year

[@rodrigopalmerin]

The best thing that i miss from playing on my phone was playing music while playing ,because the steam deck lags when i do

[@cirmothe9]

You say power is not as much of an influence when comparing the rp5 and odin2mini, and don't get me wrong I know they're in different price brackets, but I would still say there's a significant power difference between the sd865 and the 8gen2.

[@adinwalls]

Yes I agree, but I am talking in the context of emulation, for $100 less, I don't think people should be making the power bump a significant deciding factor.

[@cyberdrizzt]

Hopefully you can create a video showing how to dual boot android / Linux when the Retroid 5 is out and we have Batocera or Knulli etc

[@cirmothe9]

To take advantage of wifi7, you would need a compatible router, hence why you're not getting any significant performance improvement on the odin 2 mini.

[@kalvin.]

Just wish they made a SKU with the analog stick up top, as it gets more powerful and touches android gaming and possibly Steam games, I feel like that might be necessary. Maybe a 5+ with different stick layout and SD888 would be ideal. That or the Odin 2 Mini having the same 5.5 AMOLED

[@johnsducks9816]

I ordered mine yesterday, haven't been so excited for a handheld since the steam deck

[@chaoticzer0]

Curious I've been shopping for a handheld and I think I'm just going to buy a steam deck. There a reason you even wanted this device? Is it because of the size vs the steam deck?

[@johnsducks9816]

@chaoticzer0 actually more so the screen than anything I dont have a deck oled and I really like how dim the screen gets on this for late night before bed. Honestly if u just want 1 handheld go with the deck i think its great to have one pc handheld and one smaller handheld like this

[@chaoticzer0]

@ ahh ok cool. Think I'll go that route for sure now

[@toasty4000000]

@@chaoticzer0 Steam deck is BIG AF... I love it, but I honestly rarely use mine now. When I got it, I was bringing it everywhere... it was a honeymoon phase lol. It's still wonderful, a beast, but it's simply SO EFFING BIG. It all comes down to what you want to do. If you want to play PC games, you really don't have a choice. However, I started thinking after a while "do I ACTUALLY want to play PC games on the go?..." And, yes, I do, but at what cost? I can have a Anbernic RG35XXSP in my pocket all the time, or this Retroid 5 in a small case, or my STEAM DECK taking up 20% of my suit case on a trip... And let me tell you, it's SO much easier to bust an SP or anything smaller out when you're waiting on a plane or a bus or an oil change or whatever than it is to bust out a steam deck. Bringing a steam deck somewhere is a COMMITMENT. Bringing a Miyoo mini or something isn't even a decision - you just do it because there's literally no reason not to. However, you pay for that in the amount of power/types of games it can run. I personally think the retroid 5 is a wonderful spot where, if you really want to have some nice gaming with you when you go somewhere, you can for a small commitment bring a really nice device that will give you up to PS2 and gamecube. Accompany it with a small pocket-every-day device like a miyoo mini and all of a sudden you're gaming whenever you want without a care in the world.

I want this, but I can’t justify buying it while having the Steamdeck and ROG ALLY Z1E. Is the battery life for PS2 and GameCube really good?

[@adinwalls]

The standby mode is the problem. Battery life seems great in real life but I am running a proper test next week and we will see. I am going to ask a few KZbinr friends what they think a good battery life should be for this battery size as well. Just so I get a good metric for viewers.

[@oOTheMastaOo240]

Cant believe they fumbled the joystick placement. A handheld that size with that power shouldn't have dpad on top

[@adinwalls]

I would say the comments are 50/50 on this. For some it's so obviously wrong and for others it's the reason they want this handheld.

They are, ever so slightly. But yes that's the compromise here

[@sarahdaviscc]

The one thing holding me back is the ergonomics :/

[@MrFlashpan]

Pity they put the left analogue stick at the bottom, fair enough on the Mini but this is more of a Gamecube/PS2/PSP device, the Dpad won't be required much.

I hate the black bars so much and I've gotten used to the stretched out screen. If that makes us savages than sleep well knowing that you are not alone. Fill up that screen man that's what it's for

[@jcasillas172]

I have a question, so are these devices that not just you but other content creators are reviewing not "finished" devices? I have been hearing about waiting for retail devices to come out? sorry if my question doesn't make sense.

[@adinwalls]

Yes you are making sense. We all got "pre-production" units meaning there was a short run of devices before they took orders. This can sometimes be a bad thing and I usually warn viewers to be careful of doing pre-orders but there were so few reports of issues I didn't feel the need to make a big deal of it this time round. Long answer to say, I do think a pre-order will be "safe".

[@michaelphillips1095]

Great video thank you! Ps2 era Madenn was the best era. Can't wait to play on my RP5.

[@adinwalls]

Yes I first need to figure out how to play it. I have a vague memory of playing it once or twice back in the day.

[@DownMemoryLaneParis]

I jumped on a 405M for 75$ for the reason it is awesome and cheap. I'll grab the RP5 for the wide screen games and heavy PS2 games a few years from now. I really would not see myself play anything under GC on the RP5 anyway.

[@adinwalls]

That is a great price and I think it may have been one of my second hand pics. I played through God of War PS2 on it and with the mmjr version of Citra and dolphin you can play alot of games with it.

[@WillC1020]

I dont recall this on the video, but on the comparison to the RP Mini and the RP5 Madden 2005 test, both devices are using a different version of android which could impact performance aside from the difference in RAM. Hopefully once android 13 becomes available for RP Mini, we can check as to whether there is any differences or more of the same to what was shown on video.

[@adinwalls]

Possible but A13 will slow the RP Mini down even more overall so it would be interesting to test. Retroid aren't doing an official A13 release for the mini though.

[@jinstinky501]

@PInoyHenyoRito I had the extra $25 but the buttons are too loud. Glass front is a finger print magnet, don't like seeing reflections when I'm trying to play a game. Mostly it looks generic. Mini with a 4 inch display is my dream device... Except for the loud face buttons.

[@bokir4044]

Which would you prefer for (mostly) 2D pixel-art games on switch? RP4 Pro or RP5?

[@adinwalls]

Always opt for a Snapdragon chip for Switch. So the 5 is for you. I mean, the Pro may work but you have more assurance with the 5

[@braddahl2098]

In your humble opinion, would you purchase a grip that gives it more extended handlebars? I don't know if it's in the works. I needed it for the 4 and since I ordered the case with the 5, I hope you don't need it. I have them on my Switch and find it unplayable without it (satisfye).

[@adinwalls]

I don't think a grip is in the works but if you're after ergonomics similar to a controller, this is not that

[@AndroidWhale]

New to this space and interested in jumping in. My question is, can a SteamDeck emulate everything this unit can? What’s the primary difference between the two units? Thank you.

Hey Adin, just watched the video and overall I thought it was pretty informative. I did want to mention something about your comment regarding the difficulty of setting up Retroids. I get that it might be more involved than some KZbinrs let on, but saying that you "categorically know" it's a mission and seemingly calling out a another content creator feels a bit dismissive. I think this is more of a subjective matter than objective and I don't want to see you get into any drama. Wanted to write this up because you've said similar things in the past and I am concern it might alienate not only your audience but other retro handheld reviewers.

Hey there. I disagree. For me this is a pretty straightforward fact rather than a subjective issue. Setting Android up manually without the system that Anbernic have set it place (which is also flawed) is always difficult and time consuming and I feel I owe it to viewers to point that out. Maybe you can change my mind, but I get regular comments from disillusioned new owners who thought the setup process would be way easier. Some people even send their devices back or sell them. These are the people I have in mind when saying this. Also, I never called the content creator out by name.

​@@adinwalls I feel like the way it was phrased, contrasting it with another KZbinr's experience, could potentially come across as a bit of a call-out, even if unintentional. This is the internet after all and people will connect the dots. They're gonna find who you are talking about or who they think you're talking about. If that is your intention, I think you should voice your feedback directly to them. Maybe you could draw comparison to devices that provide an easier setup to show your point rather than a call-out. Just some friendly feedback! Keep up the awesome work.

@MetroUI I am currently working on a replacement video to my Retroid pocket 4 Pro setup guide.

@@MetroUI The guy who he's calling out is RetroGameCorps... which is stupid because RetroGameCorps goes through the entire process of setting up. Regardless if he said it was not difficult, he left enough information for the viewers to make an inform decision.

The 8g2 is 40-50% faster than the 865.

Love your videos, could you make a seperate video about Turnip drivers?

[@adinwalls]

Ah I don't know. Nor sure it has enough info for a full vid but I will include it in the full review.
