An all-in-one powerhouse that looks and feels incredible.
This device hits every single note with absolute perfection.The screen itself is a beautiful, bright OLED display that has an incredible resolution for the 4 inch screen. Colors absolutely pop on this device and every game looks incredible, both with and without shadows.The audio, while mono, is genuinely the best audio from any device that Retroid has produced. It sounds great and is perfectly fine for playing games.The buttons feel great. If you've ever used a Retroid device, you'll know how their face buttons and Dpads feel. They feel tactile without feeling too stiff. They're pretty much perfect for me. The size of the device is perfect in my hands and feels great.The performance is off the charts. If anything, the fact that there's no analog sticks limits the power this device has. It can play GameCube games with the chip they've included, although most games require an analog stick.The only downside to this device is you cannot output to a TV or monitor. I don't mind that personally, but to some people, it may matter.I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to play anything from PS1 or below on one of the best screens out there. It's nearly perfect and looks even better in person.

The Ultimate Modern Game Boy Experience
The Retroid Pocket Classic arrived much faster than if I had ordered directly from Retroid. After shipping, it worked out to about a $30 premium, which was absolutely worth it for the faster delivery and convenience.As a handheld focused on Game Boy and Game Boy Color gaming, the Classic is exceptional. The 31:27 aspect ratio is a near-perfect match for those systems, allowing games to fill the screen naturally without awkward stretching or excessive black bars. The beautiful 60Hz OLED panel really elevates the experience, delivering vibrant colors, excellent contrast, and deep blacks that make classic games look better than ever.The Retroid Pocket Classic captures everything that made the original Game Boy special while adding a modern punch through its gorgeous OLED screen, comfortable design, and premium presentation. If you're looking for the ultimate handheld for Game Boy nostalgia with modern display technology, I highly recommend the Classic.

Fantastic handheld for Game Boy & PICO-8
The RPC is a vertical handheld with a beautiful 3.92" OLED screen. The build of the RPC feels moderately premium, definitely a step up from sub-$100 Linux handhelds. The handheld is lightweight, which I appreciate as it is going to be my travel and waiting room handheld. I have small hands and find the RPC to be perfectly comfortable to hold both sitting up and lying down in bed. Buttons feel great to use, and I have no problem reaching the triggers and shoulder buttons.I use the RPC for emulating GB/GBC/GBA and PICO-8, and this device is perfect for those systems. GBA definitely has more letterboxing than GB/GBC and PICO-8 due to its aspect ratio, but GBA games are still perfectly legible and playable even with integer scaling turned on. I run those systems with shaders (LCD3X GB/GBC/GBA, CRT-Aperture PICO-8) no problem, and never hear the fan kick in. When I tested emulating PS1, I noticed that when I stacked shaders, the system really started to struggle, though I could run PS1 games with only the lottes2 CRT shader no problem.And I don't know if I really need to mention this, but this console does NOT come with any games, emulators, or BIOS preinstalled; it is up to the user or whoever is setting up the device to source those things. Additionally, I find that the 128gb of internal space on the 6+128 variants is more than enough for me, with the systems that I play having such small ROM sizes. A microSD card can be used to expand storage as necessary, though.Games can be run with integer scaling, which increases letterboxing, but that isn't a problem with how big the RPC's screen is. I definitely recommend getting a colorway that has black bezels, because letterboxing truly disappears into the bezels of black bezel colorways due to the OLED screen and it looks incredibly clean.To make this feel more like a console and less like a weird Android phone, I recommend using a frontend. There is one that comes preinstalled, but there are better ones out there. Something that is nice about Android handhelds is that they are super configurable, and changing frontends on Android is MUCH easier than changing distros on Linux based handhelds.

Very good bang for your buck
Excellent build quality compared to other emulators, screen looks fantastic and buttons feel crisp and snappy. The device is very good at running anything Ps1/xbox generation and below anything higher than that and ypu might want to opt for a more powerful model. The only reason im rating 4/5 is I wish they added joysticks to this consle, some games are kinda tough to play without the joysticks but other than that it is one of the best emulators you can get
