Yes, The Retroid Pocket 5 is worth the hype. Under $250, this handheld is an insane value: 5.5" OLED, Snapdragon 865, 8GB RAM, hall effect thumbsticks, and a 5000mAh battery. The build is extremely premium as well: It has an all glass front surface and textured back grips, shoulder buttons, and triggers.
The Retroid Pocket 5 has no right being this good at $220 - it really sets a new standard in the retro handheld space, dunking on any Anbernic and Ayaneo device sub-$300.
While the performance and build are excellent, there's other aspects that fall behind. We'll talk about everything in this impressions video.
