Customer Reviews
I've been using retro handhelds ever since the early days of the modded PSP scene and the Dingoo devices. When I say that this scene has jump leaps and bounds, I seriously mean it, and no device represents that better than the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. This thing is an absolute beast of a machine in its form factor, and has handled everything I've thrown at it and then some. With other devices, there was always some sort of compromise (low resolution, low framerate, choppy sound), but not with the 4 Pro.
DroiX was also a great help with the overall experience, next day shipping made it to me all the way up in Scotland, very efficient and reliable.

This review is about the pro version. Really happy with this. Buttons are great, analog sticks are excellent and after a bit of tinkering with emulators and frontends everything is a very streamlined experience. Emulates things like Gamecube, Wii and PS2 fine without a lot of fan noise and the battery life is surprisingly long.
