The Retroid Pocket 2 is one of the newest and most popular retro gaming handhelds of 2020. With six styles to choose from at a very competitive price, is the RP2 worthy of picking up? In this review, I cover the build quality, software, and emulation performance of the Retroid Pocket 2.

The terms we blindly agree to all the time clearly state that advertisers gather our entire history on web searches, purchases ,GPS locations, habits, Social media, hobbies, phones record Key phrases that are related to advertising like "I need a new pair of nike shoes " key words are New nike Shoes and Buy then it'll target Nike and shoes to advertise to you. This isnt conspiracy, it's actually common sense if you work in the tech world . Welcome to the future where you have no privacy

@@pocho3881 dude just get a psvita i got one cheap at 65 pounds without memorycard memorycard 8gb for me cost 8 pounds.ppsspp games on this the most demanding games will lag on this device(retroid pocket 2).On psvita you can download adrenaline and load all the psp games you want with no lag.Hacking the psvita is relatively easy.After hacking install homebrew browser, plugin browser and pkgj(to download psvita games with one tap).There are a lot of tutorials on youtube but once you start to understand its childplay.I suggest to take more than 8 gb memory card btw. You can also play other emus and ps1 games but anything above ps1 other than psp won't play full speed. Never got retroid pocket but seeing that its cheap most probably it won't play the most demanding emulators at full speed.Also psvita battery is very good and there are some newgen games like ninja gaiden, assassin creed or killzone.

Great stuff Taki, thank you for the review. For me the fact that this has a pixel density of 229ppi (more than the Vita and fractionally below the 236ppi of the OG Switch's screen) is the real sweet deal of the device - allowing all systems to look sharp and clear. Really it's kinda mind blowing that you can get level of quality and features for $80 (In the UK I got it just under £70 including the shipping). What a deal. I was relieved to hear the Indigo model comes with all white buttons. Of course if the sticks and buttons could all be grey that would be more authentic to my GBA of the past, but since that's not possible, I think indigo with all white buttons and sticks will look fantastic too. I could not work with half grey and half white though - it just looks wrong. Anyway my Indigo is ordered!

@@bobbybritnenyfitzpatrick6770 bro no disrespect intended but most of us here are pretty knowledgable a out emulators. Personally I use a Ps4 controller on my phone then use DIG as a frontend to sort my roms. Then i use a combination of retroarch 64, m64, and ppsspp. People who buy these products are usually one looking for the retro feel. The price ranges of these are enough to get you a phone thats stronger than these retrodevices but thats not what theyre paying for. I personally wont get one since I have no connection to that era of gaming since Im 19 but I can see why someone who feels nostalgia for that would get one of these type of products. The convenience of having a seperate emulation device from your main phone, the retro feel, the telescopic view, the built in controllers, and etc. Thats what theyre paying for.

A small Idea. How about a series like: Whats the best Handheld for *console*. Like for example what is the best retro handheld to emulate N64 or Gba i feel like you can easily find a review for any retro handheld but you cant really find a definitive answer for what Handheld is the best for emulating System x. You could directly compare all games at the same time with other handhelds. I would love this series
@corsinivideos

I think realistically the only way a console will emulate a certain platform better is if it has more power. Sadly for retro handheld consoles real power is in short supply, we are still not at a stage where retro consoles can compete with even mid range phones on cpu power and because of that emulation quality will always suffer especially on newer systems.

I really like this idea! I unfortunately agree with corsinivideos as well - like, it's telling that this video and many others about the RP2 Don't have huge playlists of many 'SNES and lower' games, as this is one of the few systems that Finally wouldn't have problems with them. However! I think that would mean a Lot of 'PS1 and up' comparison videos for the next year or so of dedicated handhelds - or really, whenever the Snapdragon 865 phones get to 'midrange or lower' pricing

@MultiTarded Saturn is impossible on this device, N64 is hit or miss and requires some tweaking (despite most videos showing great performance and describe it as out-of-the-box ready...it's not), Dreamcast is same as N64 and may require switching emulators/settings per game (not ideal), DS works well 99% of the time and GBA is awesome. Overall this will run GB/GBC/GBA/GG/TG-16/Genesis/SNES/WonderSwan/DS/PSX flawlessly. N64/DC are on a per emulator/settings basis with variable performance. Saturn is all but impossible.

This has a perfect size and shape, USB-C charging, RetroArch (which I love as a frontend on my PC, and it also means I can rewind. :P ) and support for up to PS1/N64. I think this may be the one I jump on. Thanks for such an informative review, Taki!

Awesome little system! I bought a second hand 2DS for $30 and installed CFW to do basically the same thing, only trading PS1/n64/DC for 3ds games. Glad I went that direction, mostly because of price, and so my gf can play animal crossing new leaf/corpse party, but I'm definitely picking up one of these when the next generation comes out and the emulation performance improves a bit more, playing crash team racing on it is too much to pass up. Really an amazing time for nostalgia gaming.

@@NiqueSir Ok, I actually understand why you're getting snarky here, but I do want to bring up a point that I don't think gets brought up often enough when it comes to handheld game consoles. I used to be a big fan of the handheld consoles, but as I grew older, I began to use them less and less, but I didn't know why. But when the Switch came out, it finally occurred to me exactly why this was. So let me just ask you, when is it a good time to play on a mobile console? Obviously not in the house, otherwise you might as well just hook the console up to the TV (Switch) or just use your computer to emulate it with a nice controller of your choosing. Alright, so any time you're not at the house. Easy enough. But wait, you probably also shouldn't be playing your handheld when you're at your friends house. It's kinda rude and you should socialize anyway. Ok, so not at your house or anyone else's house or at get-togethers. But wait. You can't really play it at work during lunch breaks because obviously you're eating. And the 15 minute breaks aren't a lot of time to play, although I guess you could squeeze it in. Ok, so not at your home, at get-togethers, or at work. But wait. Obviously you can't play when you're driving. So you can't use it during travel, although I guess you can use it on the bus or plane. So there you go. The only time a handheld console really is able to use its mobile advantage over a PC or home console is if you're on a bus or plane. But people say we're on electronics too much and should take some time to break away from them. And what about reading? Maybe you should try getting through that back catalog of books. Coming back to the laptop now, for the few places you can actually play a game, a semi-competent laptop is better than the handheld because: 1. It can handle outputting video to any TV, making it into an instant split-screen/local play machine. 2. It can handle almost any emulator you throw at it, with full support for advanced features. 3. It can connect to the internet and download whatever you need straight to the device. 4. It can do literally anything else you want it to do if you don't want it to play games, such as play movies, or do something for work.

Love these videos! And man, these are some sharp color choices for the little system. I'll be honest, the thought of being able to emulate Dreamcast games really well would be a HUGE selling point for me. Short of the GameCube (which I would assume we're still years away from emulating well on a handheld), the Dreamcast has a lot of sentimentality for me, plus a ton of games I never got to experience. What would you recommend for that? Or, considering this seems to be a pretty glowing review of the Retroid Pocket 2, would you maybe suggest this, and then just keep an eye out in the coming years for something more reliable on the Dreamcast/GameCube front?

This is amazing! Personally, I would love if Retroid launched a third model, shaped like a DS, in which we could play DS games using both screens, and if we were playing any game that only needed one screen, we would have the option to choose which screen it would be on. And, in such games, we could have the option to show any other open app we desired on the screen not being used by the game. Such as a text app, with which we could take notes of stuff in the game, or a drawing app (in the bottom screen, in this case a touch one), for handwritten notes or drawing important symbols, very useful for memory games.
