  • Love it! I recommend for any emulator fan.
Color: Black
I love mine! It is Android based so if you already know Android OS, setup is just downloading your favorite emulator from the Play store and finding ROMs from websites using the Chrome browser. Because I am experienced, I was able to setup everything in about 5-10 minutes. The screen is very vibrant and the buttons feel and function well. It runs smoothly with no issues yet. If you're someone like me that likes grip in your palms, buy the extender/grip case for it. No issues with performance. It plays like a mini Nintendo Switch. ... show more

  • Absolute best retro game console
Color: Black
I did a lot of research before hand and got this for a Xmas present for my teen. This is by far the most affordable and best quality retro game console. It’s actually consistently on top five list and considered a mid price but functions like a very top end system. It fits perfectly in my son’s large man sized hands comfortably. It sets up easily and is very sleek. It plays all his favorite games and he’s so happy! A big win for this mama! ... show more

  • Amazing device, one small (imo) drawback
Color: Black
I bought it a few weeks ago and honestly only have one complaint which ill adress at the end. For starters this thing is damn amazing at everything it does, and it does a lot, its so powerful you can play older pc games as well as older console and modern android games with some modern pc game ports, my favorites of that last category in specific are alien isolation and subnautica, both can and will run at 60fps smoothly when set to do so. The battery lasts for days on end when in lower gaming situations, and on high it will last an entire day damn near, i love this device. i dropped it accidentally and it bounced, it was outside and it fell out of my bag when traveling, absolutely took it like a champ, no cracked screen and it landed on it directly, not even a scratch, only a small scuff on the triggers and the palm rests, thats all. Amazing device super easy to use and customize i just wish it didnt restart itself every 30 seconds when the screen is just sitting off, sometimes ill have it sitting at a spot in a game that i wanted to save and it will restart without my consent, it doesnt do it often when games are active or background processes are running, its as if the device is restarting to make sure its still operational, unsure what that issue is caused from however that is honestly my only complaint, the rest is nothing but love and joy for this device, its amazing ... show more

  • Absolutely amazing, powerful, super portable handheld android emulation machine
Color: Gc
Awesome android emulation console. Only comes with 128gb of storage, so a large micro sd card is recommended since the games you'll more than likely want to load onto this thing are quite big and the size can add up fast. The OLED screen is absolutely gorgeous and the device feels amazing in the hands. Retroid makes a grip for this handheld that makes it a little bigger, but supposedly improves the ergonomics by a ton. If I could improve one thing, it would be for the left stick to be above the d-pad instead of below it. It's a relatively small thing, but would make this device so much more comfortable for playing more modern games. Anyway, this thing is pretty powerful and can play games from any retro console up to the 6th gen, some games from a more modern console, Windows games through Winlator, and native android games. This thing is the perfect size for portability and you really just can't beat that screen. Totally recommended, but probably not for total beginners like one of the other reviewers who expected games to come preloaded. ... show more

  • Beautiful device, I do recommend it. It just wasn’t for me.
Color: Black
By all rights this thing should have a five star rating from me. Because it’s a great little device, relatively comfortable to hold because it’s so lightweight. It has a beautiful screen. It does everything it says it should. But it just wasn’t for me. It does what it says perfectly, emulate games, I can play most android games everything I tried play fine, I even played around for a little bit with game native and was able to play some lower end steam games. That’s right, PC games on it. However, I think there’s too many other options. like my iPhone can emulate a lot of games and I already have it and I do have a Gamesir controller for it so it works just fine. I also have an Asus ally x which can emulate and play most of my PC library without a problem ( with some visual sacrifices) I understand this is more capable of an emulator than an iPhone is and I’m probably switching back to android next go round so I’ll have the same basic capabilities as a device like this. So I do actually recommend the retroid pocket 5, it just wasn’t for me, I ended up returning it after about a week. Just make sure you know why you’re getting it. ... show more

  • Retro Gaming Handheld Perfection
Color: Black
This thing is absolutely amazing for what it does. I decided early on that I would use this for N64 and PS1 emulation, but I’ve been able to even emulate Wii titles on this with no issues. This has a ton of horse power to play a ton of game libraries, all in an extremely portable form factor with a stunning OLED screen and impressive battery life. I wouldn’t expect this to play modern triple AAA titles like a Steam Deck, but you can definitely play Roblox seamlessly, so for my gaming needs this is perfect. This is without a doubt my new main handheld for portable retro gaming. ... show more
