If performance is say 30-50% faster than the odin 2 I could see them coming in starting at $399 for their lower spec model.

It's a perfect integer scale of 240p and 480p, which makes it a great resolution for emulation. And even for the consoles that aren't that res, it still helps having higher resolution because then you lose less screen space when using integer scaling.

You raise a fair point. My perspective was more running native Android games since they never seem to play past 1080p, overall PPI which is so dense that it becomes "diminishing return" and with streaming as Moonlight using 120fps to stream your PC is pretty awesome.

Man this thing is real classy looking!

I would've liked size comparison between Pocket S and Pocket 4 pro. I just received my RP4 last week; it is definitely pocketable but I wouldn't consider carrying it in my pocket too long like a cell phone. These are my current favorite- Everyday carry- Miyoo mini plus. Pocketable but keep in your desk or bag- Retroid Pocket 4 Pro General Emulation- Steam deck PC gaming on the go- ROG Ally Ex Imo Steam Deck is still King of the hill when it comes to Emulation device. The biggest aspect going for SD is that there is no significant performance difference between the cheapest and the most expensive variant. Also EmuDeck exists. But if you want something not as bothersome to carry around, RP4 pro has incredible value. It has great battery life for lower-end systems while also being able to run decent amount of enjoyable Switch games; I am having a blast with all the switch Beat 'em up titles. While Odin 2 is current King of Android emulation handheld, its size makes it neither here nor there for me. Personally I don't feel Odin 2 is significantly easier to carry and handle than Steam Deck hence not justifying buying it over SD at similar price point. In comparison Pocket S should have somewhat better performance compared to Odin 2 and it also looks quite a bit smaller. But is it small enough. It seems Pocket S is targeting Odin2's price-performance but PR4's size and shape. But the truth is RP4's shape and size is a compromise to make it pocketable so Pocket S carries the compromise without including the benefits. I think for Pocket S to succeed it has to match Odin 2's price because if both devices has comparable performance and you need to use a carry case anyway, wouldn't the more ergonomic one be the better option.

Daaayymmmn! That looks dope, bruh.

Every time I'm set on buying one a new more powerful one comes along.

I have the Odin 2 as my go to andriod device but this does look pretty cool depending on price .. nice form factor too.

That is exactly what I would like a smartphone

Links awakening might work using the early access build from the play store. It does for me on the odin 2 but regular yuzu glitches like that

They should add sim support so people can use it as their phone..I feel like that they would sell many more units that way, especially since the price will rival current flagships like the Motorola Edge and OnePlus using snapdragon 8 chips

I've had such a great experience with Ayaneo already, I hope owners of this handheld share in my great times

It could be interesting a direct comparison with the Snapdragon Gen 3 of the new Rog Phone in oorder to understand the difference in power/performance with a side by side game. If the Pocket S will cost more than a PC-based handheld it will not worth the money in my opinion.

I'm purchasing a steam deck oled 512gb and I want to upgrade the internal memory and I've seen videos about how to do it but I don't trust that I won't mess it up. So my question is this, how come there doesn't seem to be any stores that offer to upgrade the hardware for a price? I went with the 512 model because I like the non-reflective screen better.

You know what would make this look even cooler? A lid you can flip up for a second screen. But then again that's probably what their Flip DS is meant to do.

Can I expect to install the Android apps like instagram, youtube, reddit and other usual apps? Also are there any problems coming from being horizontal?

Love the thin for sure! But for sure, it’s gonna matter with the price, but this is looking nice and premium! 😎👍👌

Do android based gaming handheld work better than a phone with the same chipset? I have a fold 4 and can't seem to run f zero for GameCube on dolphin without framerate drops when going over native resolution

It's definitely competing with the Odin 2 Pro, but the RP4Pro and RG556 at $200 make the Odin 2 Pro and Pocket S premium upgrades rather than necessary. The RP4Pro is a great device, and the price (and projected price) of the Odin 2 Pro and Pocket S make the device compete with the Steam Deck and ROG Ally, which are much more capable with emulation and flexible with PC games. It's really going to depend on if you want to spend double the money to play Android/retro games on a more premium device.
