Retroid Pocket 3 Plus Retro Game Handheld - Android Console with Multiple Emulators, 4.7 Inch 16:9 Display, 4500mAh Battery, Classic Games (Clear Blue)

This little handheld is well worth the money!If you can watch a video you can set it up. Mainly for Retroarch and a few of the consoles.I recommend the grip for it as it is a bit thin. Would have been nice if the sides had been bolstered a little bit.It has no instructions whatsoever. Not even to tell you what amperage the brick should be for charging it. Which would have been nice to know out of the box. Had to Google and see what others were using. The consensus was a 2.0, 2.1 brick.It not only plays retro games but also Android games from the Google Play Store. Which is pretty cool if you want to free your phone up of games.Triggers feel great.The ABXY buttons are a bit small IMHO and are a bit too pronounced. I would have opted for something with a smaller profile, a bit wider and a bit rounded on the ends.DPad feels good even though to me the style is a bit outdated now. Full directional pad would have been a better choice.The joysticks are nice once you get used to them.The screen is beautiful.I recommend the handheld and still give it 5 stars. I imagine their next iteration will be very well done.

I’ve been looking forward to buying one of these since they were first released, and now after a long wait, I can confidently say it exceeds all my expectations.Pros:-More powerful than I expected, runs GameCube and ps2 like a champ!-The quality of this thing is amazing, it looks and feels so premium.-The screen looks awesome!-Perfect size, just slightly smaller than a switch lite.-Great amount of internal storage considering how small most roms are.-The Retroid Pocket interface it comes with is actually really smooth and looks great.-Buttons and joysticks feel great.-HDMI out and Bluetooth support makes it a great home console for multiplayer!Cons:- It was a little confusing and sometimes frustrating to set up, but maybe that’s because I’m inexperienced in this area.- No analogue triggers, but that’s no big deal.-Placement of the start and select button as well as volume buttons is a little weird.Other than that, I love this thing! Can’t wait to mess around with it some more. You should definitely buy one.

The set up was brutal to figure out if you've never jumped into any emulators before. But this is the case for any handheld emulator that doesn't come pre-installed with a bunch of questionably obtained roms like other devices come withj.Screen is great, controls are good. As a mostly N64 player, its not very comfortable to use the left joy stick for long periods of time for me, but the controller case thing makes it much better.I would get the Odin for the better layout, but I didn't want something that large. This device still fits nicely in small work/travel bags.

Was great for the week that it worked.. Spent some time getting all the emulators and games setup to run smoothly, had a wonderful time for about a week. And then one day the screen wouldn't turn on. Backlight would turn on, you'd hear the audio from it booting up, but nothing on the screen. Did some research and went ahead and messaged retroid support. Retroid's answer was "no the screen is fine, you just haven't charged it" which... Yeah some pretty dumb stuff.Reddit steered me in the right direction and had a few guides about the battery being an issue or the display cable not being seated. So I took apart my week old device, reseated the display cable and woolah! It's screen was working again. Now the whole reason I bought this device was for a few road trips I had for work. The device worked great after I reseated the cable, but just now starting a big trip and it's failed me again.. Backlight turns on, audio for booting up, and then absolutely nothing on the screen.I have no problem getting down and dirty with my devices, but the inconsistency with this handheld is wild. If I have to go through a device every two weeks to fix the display, then I sure as hell want nothing to do with it. If I was at home, it'd be no problem. But I don't travel with a tool kit.Horrible device, horrible support. You'd be better off getting a cheaper product with the same chip because retroid sure as hell won't support you when you spend 2x the money for the same crap.

The Retroid 3+ does almost everything right. It has decent specs (good enough for psp/ds games and some 3ds titles. It has a decent screen, access to the play store due to it being an android device, and doesnt feel cheap in your hands. It could be more ergonomic, and its touchscreen can be a little picky, but overall it is a premium product at an affordable price.
