Comment on Hands-on with the Retroid Pocket 6; The 8GB Sweet Spot (my own article/interview!)

I just got the G2 before they discontinued it. I was worried there would be a long wait for the 6 to ship. That said, I really am impressed with the quality of Retroid hardware, and I imagine it’s no different with the 6 and that beautiful 120Hz display.

The crazy thing to me is how much I love this device. I was sent a Odin 3 Max to review toward the end of last year, which is by all metrics a far, far more powerful and capable handheld. But using them side-by-side, Retroid just nails that ‘fun’ feeling and aesthetic that the more mature designs and looks miss (if that makes any sense?!)
It is truly a lovely handheld, and you’d know that with the G2! My friend from Retroid told me they do hope to bring them back, one day, but who knows how that’ll go with current market conditions :(

^ That sparkling color in the front glass front is just perfection!!!
Which color G2 did you opt for?

I initially wanted the black model but it was out of stock. I ended up going with the 16Bit style. No regrets.

Oh you made the right choice! I’ve had a few black handhelds I have reviewed, but I have long since started asking for other colors. The black (at least with glass fronts) smudge and fingerprint soooooo much
Your 16bit colors are much nicer!
