Retroid Pocket 5 review - High performance Android retro gaming handheld at a great price

[@TheDeadlyTikka]

Think you will have it in stock soon?

[@DroiX_Store]

We do not have any details whether or not we will be selling it at the moment. We hope to have some news soon.

[@thisisapenguin]

Do you find the analog sticks placement uncorfortable? Or not at all?

[@DroiX_Store]

They are fine to use. I do not use them often as I am mostly playing retro games, but they were fine on PS2 etc.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

While the Linux side is still fairly early with this device I feel like it could have been included as an added value over the 4Pro. It feels like there's more momentum behind the Linux development than the stagnant Android side (with the exception of the Wiiu emulator).

[@DroiX_Store]

Hopefully we will see improved Linux support in the future.

Im stuck between getting retroid pocket 5 or anbernec rg406v .. i have the rg353v but i want something with a bigger screen and a bit more power

[@DroiX_Store]

I have not tried the RG406V so I cant comment on this one at all. But after a quick look I can see it is a vertical instead of horizontal handheld so that could be a deciding factor for you in terms of which you prefer playing on.

[@christianmccann9400]

@DroiX_Store thanks for getting back to me, My rg 353v is a vertical so I'm thinking maybe getting the retroid pocket 5 for a change, I like the look of the 5 and a half inch ammoled screen

[@DJRichierich01793]

Great content as always guys. One question. Can Xbox cloud gaming work on this or the game pass app ?

[@Smoje79]

Yes it works, also you can use a normal browser to play or there's an app called better xcloud that improves performance

[@Incubus203]

It works bro. I'm playing Black ops 6 on my Rp4pro

[@DroiX_Store]

Yeah it will work.

[@VincentFraga]

Wish I had the money to buy one..

[@DroiX_Store]

Save some cash every week/month and it will soon build up.

This or a rog ally 🤔🤔

[@Bob-j1h]

Depends do you wanna play console level or Wii level games?

[@PJ-sv4iw]

@@Bob-j1hPocket 5 just has a Snapdragon 865, which is from ~2020/2021. Rog Ally is a desktop-class CPU/GPU that plays today’s AAA PC titles. Not really a fair comparison.

[@pastqr]

Rog ally, this is no competition

[@DroiX_Store]

This is you prefer Android. Otherwise get a GPD, ONEXPLAYER, AYANEO etc. Far better than ROG Ally.

[@blasphemous24]

All overly expensive though Anyway, you listed 256gb internal storage instead of 128...​@@DroiX_Store

[@cobaltblue5523]

Can it play 3ds games

[@DroiX_Store]

You can via Citra.

[@cobaltblue5523]

I wish it didn't have light on the controlers

[@DroiX_Store]

You can switch them off.

[@fufu5068]

Those who preordered in Oct and Nov your RP5 will ship next year earliest.

[@DroiX_Store]

They are currently shipping now. Orders made before November 30th should arrive before Christmas.

[@bilegtkh4847]
