Retroid Pocket 4 Pro Long Term Review: Best Companion Retro Handheld

Thanks so much for the review! 😊

I'm really hesitating because it is Android. Android is so famous for eating up a big chunk of RAM just to run the Android system.

I watched the entire thing. Amazing review. Quality is perfect and most of my questions answered. Your sub count is criminally low. Great work 😊

Im debating between this clear color or the white 16bit. Were there times you rather had a different color? The clear looks amazing. I would get the white one just to match the smaller gray Anbernics I own but I keep coming back to this one.

gonna get one solely as a balatro machine because idk cant really get into it on my normal steam deck but the smaller form factor of the pocket pro 4 would be perfect for baltaro sessions on my bed or couch.

I just got into the retro handheld emulator scene when the RG35XX SP came out and I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole.
Saw the Odin 2 mini come out which was extremely tempting but a point’s been made that it’s the same price as a steamdeck so might as well get that (I’m not in the market for that)
Bought this Retroid pocket 4 pro yesterday after watching A LOT of videos, but if I hadn’t already been convinced, THIS video would have made me get one for sure. You pretty much said everything I wanted to hear to get me to buy this, so thanks!

Love my rp4 pro had it for a few months now and love what it does. As my first handheld for emulation I love it

Does this have L3/R3? Is it touchscreen? And can the USB-C output video to the TV? (I know the RG336 or whatevr it's called can output from USB-C WHILE charging.)

I've had my Clear Retroid 4 Pro and I'm blown away on how much I like it. I love the form factor. It plays everything I throw at it with ease. Prince of Persia for switch is amazing an plays flawlessly. Again I love how small but not to small the device is and I've got large hands. I get zero hand fatigue. Perfect size! I noticed you mentioned ram at 8 gigs. I was looking around and it says on average I use about 6 so I think ram is ok? I will have to check out your setup. I use an Iphone and Apple products but it wasn't hard to setup at all. I enjoy tinkering too and after a week I got everything working and now I just load games and play and love it. The price point was perfect for me too. I wouldn't worry about specs, this thing is great and when playing games you never ever think man i wish this display was better etc. I just play and enjoy. its 10/10 for me. Get the carry case and screen protector too.

Ive been emulating on Android forever so this was a no brainer. Should be a breeze to set up.

love how you set up your device! really considering the retroid and this video is helping me figure out how i will use it

Great review! I've been looking for a good thorough review of the RP4P since i just ordered one, and this was it! Will be coming back to this video once i recieve it to set mine up close to this!

did you try Beacon Launcher on it?

Odin 2 vs Retroiod Pocket 4 pro, what do you recommend?

JUST bought this handheld. I prefer D-pad games (smaller form factor and battery seems nice too) which was the biggest pro for this one and this came in at about $100 cheaper, in my currency and the dollar is high atm, than the Odin 2 Pro WITH extra bits and bobs (bag and grips) and a lot cheaper than the Ayaneo mini S (also no customs now).

WOULD want to try Switch-indie stuff but besides that just lower end stuff for most systems GC and back. Thinking this'll be good (please affirm my newly made purchase😛)?

Edit: this easier to use than Linux-based really? I'm upgrading from a 351P, that I'm still happy with, so that's NICE to hear. Took me a while to get to grips with the 351P (Portmaster specifically). Was looking a bit at the Steam Deck besides this but heard D-pad wasn't ideal so went with this.

Just a small suggestion: you need a light pointing towards the front of the device while you're filming it. When you're showing all the hardware, you can barely see anything that you're talking about

I want one too! I currently have a Steam Deck and Switch Lite. I like the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. The design is copied from the Switch Lite I think

Nice take on the device. I have subbed, you did a good job 👍
