Retroid Pocket 4/4Pro Retro Game Handheld - Android Console with Multiple Emu...

Really fun handheld. Has a ton of potential for customization and handles some mid 2000s consoles really well. I really enjoy the feel of the console itself and the build quality is decent. One big standout of this is that it's an android device and that allows for access to the Google Play store. Battery life is decent and better if you pay less demanding games. Happy with what I paid and I feel like I got my money's worth.

I bought this handheld to replace my RG40XXH, which I loved but developed the dreaded "black screen" bug. Configuring this device took a bit more work than the Anbernic products, but the end result seems to be worth it. The device is responsive and has decent battery life. The screen is easy enough for my middle-aged eyes to read. The buttons feel fantastic, and I was happily surprised by the triggers and thumb sticks in particular. It just feels nice, and the unit feels well-built. A comfort grip might help with longer gaming stints, but overall I really like this unit. This handheld does not come with any ROMs, but it is capable of playing a great variety of games. I followed the guide from Retro Game Corps to set it up. It's really slick overall.

With the looming tariffs, and Nintendo increase in prices- I made the jump to get a more higher end emulator. I came from the pocketgo, miyoo mini, and of course a ROG Ally. But as far as a use case- I wanted an end game handheld that fit in my pocket. I have the micro units (gb micro and anbernic nano) I have the middle grounds from a trimui brick and a30. I have the console specific ps vita, 3ds xl, 2ds. But this bad boy? It has every generation of console I freeze up with in ability, and can handle a 1tb card. If you’re on the fence, make the jump. It feels premium- the screen is way better than people give it credit for. The battery life is pretty good (nothing to write home about) and it is functionally my childhood/teen/young adult gaming experiences all in one console. Truly a marvel for people like me who collect games and systems. And even more of a hobby in the tweaking aspect. It does not come with games included- but unlike most other handhelds- this starts you off with a better idea of what you’d need downloaded to get your rom collection up and running. I’m not a pro at this pro model yet, but with some tinkering, I’m looking forward to lots of time with this unit. Tldr; better than people write it to be. Buy it instead of shelling out for a more expensive 8yr console (switch). Get this, play all your games and more, and forget about the fomo for not getting a switch 2. Or in my case, never getting a switch because I waited for them to go down in price and instead Nintendo (thanks to our government) raised the prices instead. The government and Nintendo make off, meanwhile the little guys pay the price. Sail the seas. See you in the open waters.

First thing to note is that this does come with some emulators and a front-end installed, but you will need to source your own games. This is not a hard thing to do for people with some tech skills and an internet connected computer, but this is not something you hand out of the box to an ipad kid and expect them to be playing retro games. There's some tinkering involved with settings, but by and large it's nothing you'd need an IT degree for. Once you have the games loaded and the emulators configured, it's super easy to use, just be aware that there's going to be a few hours of setup, downloading roms, transferring, and tinkering. Once it's set up, this Android device has a LOT of power underneath the hood. I've been enjoying up through Wii and PS2 games on it, though the PS2 eats battery and gets the device warm. Note to anyone installing a screen protector, make sure you turn the fan up all the way when you emulate stronger systems. The CPU/GPU warming up cooked some of the adhesive on the very left edge of my screen protector, causing an air bubble to form. The actual device is fine, but if you have the fan set to quiet and push the retroid to its limits, it will generate a fair bit of heat. The good news is this device emulates everything without lag. Some ps2 games chunk a little from time to time, but most are extremely playable if not 100%. The screen is gorgeous and will have your retro games looking awesome, whether you're the type to enable shaders or pixel peep old games, and your upscaled 3d games will look nice and crisp as well. Game title obscured to circumvent any concerns, but you can play the second Deity of Conflict on this easily, as a point of reference. I highly recommend getting the comfort grip for this. It's a little boxy and tiny in my adult hands without. Totally usable without, but I can game for hours and hours with the grip. Oh and battery life! It's going to heavily depend on what you're doing. Emulating an 8 bit or 16 bit game? Battery is an absolute champion and will not budge. Doing some ps2/wii games? That battery indicator is gonna move at a steady pace. It's a fine battery life on the more intense games, but I probably would skew to older games if I was on a long plane ride. Notably because this is android based, it supports full fast charge, so if you have a good modern USB C quick charging adapter, this thing will top up in no time.

I was really excited to try the RP4P, and overall it’s a pretty impressive little device. It handled emulation really well right out of the box. I was able to play a wide range of games from different systems smoothly, and performance was honestly better than I expected for the price. The screen looks great, controls feel solid, but it’s a bit uncomfortable to hold for longer gaming sessions. That said, I did run into a couple issues that I couldn’t ignore. The biggest problem was the SD card slot. It kept giving me trouble — sometimes it wouldn’t recognize the card, and other times it seemed to disconnect randomly. I double-checked the card, reformatted it, and even tried a factory reset on the device, but the issue kept coming back. I also experienced occasional stutters during gameplay. It wasn’t constant, but it happened enough to be noticeable and a little frustrating, especially during games that should have been running smoothly. In the end, I decided to return it and upgrade to the Retroid Pocket 5 instead. I really wanted to love the 4 Pro because when it worked, it worked well. But the SD card issues and performance hiccups were dealbreakers for me. If you get one without those problems, it’s a solid handheld. Just be aware that quality control might vary.

Anything up to and including some Switch games you can easily run it at ×1-3 internal resolution depending on game/emulation but overall everything i have thrown at it ran perfectly, Ps2 definetly plays very well but the cherry is Gamecube and all DS especially 3DS plays so good and smooth. Downside if there any not the most straight forward way to set up but i actually loved the process itself so customizable with android and if you have done it before it will be a piece of cake. At this price definetly a must buy again anything up to PS2 and most WII games.

Runs games good emulation and native android. Small and portable

If you like classic game consoles, specifically PS2, this is literally game changer. If you've never coded or manually uploaded and operating system this is going to have a steep learning curve so prepare to open many YouTube tabs, forums and Google searches. If you give yourself a solid day or two you can download Your desired operating systems, BIOS, ROMs and games. This is not a quick setup but totally worth it!
