Portable ps2

The retroid pocket 2s is really remarkable. Like the title says its practically a portable ps2. It can play every title I have thrown at it, just make sure you remove the factory underclock for each game. Its very portable and has a very durable build quality. The battery life is great, I havent tested it all the way through but with xenosaga episode 1 on ps2 I have gotten 6 hours out of it and it went from 90ish percent to 40ish percent. And because it runs android you can also play native android games as well as browse the web. To me this feels like a modern psp but obviously better. I love the clear green, it reminds me of the clear game cases you used to be able to buy on sketchy japanese websites back in the day that took 3 months to deliver. I truly love it and if you want to buy it I suggest buying it from Droix, they cost more, but the deliver time and experience was unmatched.

Stunning Device

I had high hopes for this given the buzz around it but it really is a fabulous device. The build quality is top drawer, controls are great, screen is superb and the interface is great.

It is my go to device now for all emulation and it nails the retro vibe perfectly. Highly recommended.

Had an issue with delivery (not the fault of DroiX) but response from customer support was excellent and everything got sorted. Impressed all round.
