👉Zu abhors a vacuum, so in the face of *near universal acclaim*, he decided to make a video about some of the problems and issues he's encountered with the Retroid Pocket 5. Now, he's not just being a contrarian either. Despite being one of the best android handhelds of the year and being a great value, there are some minor issues with the RP5, and Zu will explain them to you.
From battery life on standby mode, the underdeveloped Retroid Launcher 3, the downfalls of an all-glass front, button loudness, and some significant ergonomics issues, your old buddy Zu will explain what keeps the Retroid Pocket 5 from being a 10/10.
Don't worry though, a lot of them are fixable with updates, or might not be a big deal to you. This thing is still an excellent handheld - just not perfect.
