​@@skycloud4802 just because there are unused space on the surface of the device, doesn't mean it has nothing in internals. It's a MINI device, they have to fit everything internally. For it's size, the screen is just perfect for it's battery capacity. Also if they chose a bigger screen, it will drastically impact the placements of the buttons and internals and will affect the ergonomics of the device as well.

I think a permanent price (not just preorder) of 189 would be more fitting for this. Still it's definitely much better value than the ayaneo pocket micro with a screen that works better for everything except gba (even gba is debatable) and far superior specs. Likewise when compared to the rg406V at its current price or a possible rg406h in the future (maybe that's why Anbernic avoided releasing a rg406h).

I am looking at an RP4+ but Im probably gonna wait for the RP5s reviews to drop, I really want smooth PS2 and GC performance and I am sure that this chipset will deliver this comfortably. The screen is just a little too small for me personally, while the 5.5" RP5 seems perfect for my usecase and needs in terms of formfactor.

Fug yeah! Did I come here to comment on the review? No, I came here to praise the shirt and band. One of my faves. RIP Terry Hall. But the review was great as always.

Dockability is intriguing. I like the idea of a dockable, pocketable handheld that will let me play PS2 and GameCube RPGs. Looking forward to the final review!

The website says the button layout is interchangeable. edit: Nevermind, they appear to all fit in one place and they must be referring to mixing colors.

I may be wrong, but Nintendo can scower through anything Russ has done these last few years or since making videos on KZbin. The method that they have given him the strikes has been like flexing and showing their power. They do it to the tiniest footage of a Nintendo game on a non-Nintendo handheld and that's what they decide to chip away at him with. It's like taking down Goliath with a few rocks from a sling. Incredibly shocking and undoubtedly difficult to experience such a small hit that wounds so deep. It gets under your skin. They showed that if they can hit you with a 5 second strike they could definitely hit you with gameplay footage that is closer to 30 seconds.. or ANYTHING for that matter. No questions asked. Nintendo says Ninten-do, we should say Ninten- DON'T! RUSS is a good guy man. You can tell in 1,000 ways.

I bought one on impulse yesterday, hoping for pretty much what you described here. Very much looking forward to trying this one out. My go-to devices rn are the Odin 2 and RG35XXSP, and I think that this one will compliment them nicely as a more portable solution for higher-end 4:3 games without big ol' bars on the sides. That aside, this video was quality as ever: entertaining and informative. Sorry you're dealing with the crap from Nintendo, they're not making many friends lately. Best of luck navigating that safely!

I'm brand new to emulation in general and your channel has been instrumental in helping me get a hold on handheld devices! Do you think you could do like a glossary or common terminology video? I think it would be super helpful for people like me who are total newbies and don't understand a lot of the more technical jargon in both product pages and reviews.

Bro no!!! Please no!!! Save some money. Make a good vacation or visit a good restaurant. Maybe invite your girlfriend or mother? Buy some good clothes what ever. I have the Odin 2 pro too and a RG40XXH for games till PS1 and yes ... some of the new devices are crazy cool but why? You never touch them. You want to impress the chicks? 😂 Gift them away? Hmmm. Im now thinking about to sell them. I mean ... do what ever you want but if you think about you will see ... We are not big youtubers with a lot of money. Most of us are not. You can invest the money for better things. The Odin 2 Pro is Pro Level You dont need more! Just my two cents.

The Retroid Pocket Mini is not for everyone. It's made for people who want a pocketable high-end device to play retro games with overlays, filters and shaders etc... So stop complaining about the screen size in comments when you know that RP4 Pro and RP5 do exist.

I've been looking forward to your RP Mini review all month. Can't wait to see the full thing in a few days! I'm decently sensitive to input lag, which really holds back Android handhelds for me. I would love it if you put the Linux support through its paces and could say if the input latency is better there than on Android.

I do wish it had a few minor changes though. I don't care about the screen size (it's bigger than a Nomad), but the full glass front is unattractive. The classic bezel, especially for a 4:3 device, is much more appealing. I also do NOT understand how we still can't get Z & C on these devices. I mean UNIQUE Z & C. Not just bumpers duplicated or moved to the face. You can't properly play 'everything' all-in-one style without them. N64 being a prime example.

Part of me is hype to see what the 5 is like if the mini is this promising… but on the other hand I've had my RP4pro since launch and after months of tinkering, it’s finally set up just the way I want it and I don’t want to have to do it all over again so soon. But it’s cool to see how much performance improves with these devices each year. Maybe in another year or two I'll be ready to upgrade, lol. Great review as always! Love your channel; it’s how I got introduced into the world of emulation handhelds. :D

I’ve just *finally* received my preordered RP Mini and completed the process of getting my first Android gaming device all setup (I chose Daijisho). I am absolutely adoring this device - to me, it really does feel like “the ultimate 4:3 handheld.” I happened to receive my device just before being unexpectedly hospitalized, and I found myself in the emergency room gleefully playing GameCube games at 3x resolution on a device which feels every bit as premium (in most regards, at least) as something from Sony or Nintendo. If anyone out there is still on the fence about getting an RP Mini even after the video, I think you’ll love it!
