I love my RP3 plus. I got to play retro games and stream console /pc games via Psplay and moonlight.
With that said, you should've focused more on the upcoming Rp4 pro and AYN odin 2. The latter is the most powerful arm based android gaming handheld.
But regardless, I find these devices hella more capable and efficient than the awful PSportal
Since they released the 4/4+ retroid marked the 3+ down to $120 bucks. I hopped on that and mine should be delivered in a week or so. Can’t wait to dig into it. I haven’t messed with emulation for about 25 years, but this should be strong enough to run everything I want for the most part. Can’t wait !

The RP 3+ is my first device that could run PSPs Patapon 1, 2 and 3 smoothly!
This was such an interesting topic, I couldn't stop watching.
this guy sucks 👎🏻
Could you make a video talking about raw video on android?
There's an app called MotionCam Pro that makes the videos look like a real camera
There's some samples here on youtube ,the app takes out all of that phone look,it's insane how little people are talking about it
Maybe in the future you could do a comparison between stock cam and the app, then raw and ProRes!!
My God this comment section is dumb. This device is $150 and will drop to around $120 when the Retroid Pocket 4 devices are available.
No, it doesn't need the latest Android OS to function. Maybe for Android games, but still, 95% of up to date games will still work on it and be available to install from the Play Store.
No, it doesn't compare to the Steam Deck. It cannot run Windows/Linux games natively but it can stream them, is Pocketable, LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE OF THE CHEAPEST PC HANDHELD (refurb Steam Deck or AYN Loki Zero) and has better battery life than any Handheld PC.
This device falls into Android/Cheap handhelds and is the best in the Sub $200 price point.
Cant wait for the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro in Funtastic Green or Metal tho 😀
Bizarre to present this when the 4/4pro were announced a few weeks ago with same form factor but significantly better Dimensity D900/D1100 CPUs 🙄
HA! Glad you guys are covering these devices, finally!
I'm more into these things than smartphones now, I got the RP3+ and I'm planning on getting the 4 Pro and I have the Odin base, smartphones these days are just too cumbersome for gaming, a dedicated device is the way to go, and with the Odin 2, it has a SD 8 Gen 2 and it costed $300 for the base! No smartphone can match that price with that processor, c'mon lol.
This isnt for mainstream consumers. Tech IQ of average person is abysmal. Some people i know struggle in the settings menu of thier own phones. This is for Nerdy Chads only.
Windows is better for emulating, this is not it. Device looks like it’s from 2014.
Sounds like you definitely don't have the AYN Odin 2. If you did, you would probably come to a different conclusion
Please stabilise your B roll. It's nauseating….jc
Why are you talking about the rp3+ when the rp4 is being released in January ??
Damn. The Pizza was so good. Thanks for making it.
People above 24 still have time to game these days? 😮
GARBAGE to much money
Crappy battery and no guarantee on updates we are not in 2000 most people don’t wanna buy something unless it updates. It has good battery. They’ve been through it for the last 20 years. Come on now quit wasting everybody’s time.
so it’s a nintendo switch?
