    Thanks so much for the video. I got an RP3+ last year and have been loving it. It’s so easy to slip it in my bag and catch up on some older gen RPGs and PSP titles. I also recently got the Odin 2 and it’s hands down been my go to. I’ve been eyeing the RP4 Pro to eventually replace my RP3+ but I think I’ll wait until the RP5. I think I’d play more games that require using a thumb stick more than the d-pad on a device like the RP4 so I’d hope the next iteration swaps the d-pad so it’s below the left thumb stick. Cheers

    Yup this is the thing. Here my working theory. If you have a good streaming setup in your home and don’t care too much about playing outside the house AND you want the benefits of Android. Then the Odin 2 could be the only device you’ll need for a very long time. However if you want a Steamdeck then the RP4 Pro is an excellent companion for emulation, streaming and Android gaming.

    Agreed. A Steam Deck is probably a better use of $330+ dollars than the Oden 2. They both achieve no-compromise retro gaming, but the Steam Deck adds seamless AAA gaming to the mix. I'm setting up a 1TB SD card for the Steam Deck using Batocera as we speak. I also just received a watermelon RP4 Pro which is awaiting setup. I expect that the RP4 Pro will provide a lifetime of top-tier retro gaming on-the-go. But any games that struggle or appear unreadable on the RP4 Pro, will go on the Batocera card for the Steam Deck. At least that's the plan.

    Hey awesome video, would like to ask you if you think the new Anbernic RG556 is a decent enough competitor to this. I am curious about what you think of it. They both cost around $200. Retroid has a better SoC but Anbernic has a 1080p AMOLED screen. Anbernic has the new T820 SoC which is A LOT better than the older T618, but still not as good as the D1100

    no one knows what the performance will really be with the 556 until they're in hand, but, a distinctive difference is the ergonomics on the 556 which sacrafices pocketability, so they're kind of polar opposites with respect to form factor.

    I can’t actually remember everything about the Odin base. But you must also consider the RG556. The Retroid is great with its good joysticks. The Anbernic is a bit lower powered but has a stunning screen and great ergonomics. These are all tough choices. Now that I think of it I’m not sure the Odin Base is worth it anymore. I personally prefer the Retroid but I think most people would prefer the Anbernic RG556.

    I was hoping it would be a lot more transparent - taki udon's video talked me out of the clear color since it just kinda wasn't. Went for the 16 bit. And now I'm waiting. ordered mine on the 15th but it was in the evening, so I'm guessing my order got lumped in with the batch that was supposed to ship - today, actually. I'm selling my 405m for this. It didn't really fit what I wanted out of a small pocketable handheld in shape, weight, comfort, or performance.

    @adinwalls that's what I'm hoping. I think I just went into the 405m with slightly too high expectations for performance, even after tweaking and gammaOS, and the orientation of the left analog stick over the dpad made it feel awkward for a lot of retro gaming, and the thing was too heavy/slippery for its size (metal shell just is not my jam, as it turns out) and felt awkward to use laying on my side in bed. I actually went back to using my 35xx as my primary retro console alongside my steam deck. - I also converted my Samsung galaxy tab s7+ tablet into a daijisho console and it absolutely shreds, plug and play, runs ps2 and gamecube. The 35xx is still great for me because I toss it in one my my uniform pockets for downtime between calls as a medic. The steam deck can do the switch and wii u, and I like having the tablet now, but a super portable, toss in the backpack option was supposed to be the 405m - now hopefully the rp4pro. I didn't want the Odin 2 just because of the size. I wanted smaller, didn't even really mind the price. Now I'm just waiting for someone to update something vertical like the 353v with this chipset, or maybe just a hair bigger with a 4 inch screen (and not as bulky as the 405v) because that would be my perfect machine. I am a vertical form factor kinda person at the end of the day.

    @@adinwalls True, the steam deck is a great device, although for me, it's in a weird place right now. I'm not a huge fan of the dpad feel and placement, so for retro gaming I always prefer my Odin 2, not to mention the bulkiness of it means I prefer the Odin as well for travel. I almost exclusively use my steam deck for streaming moonlight since I have a nice gaming PC and I prefer to play with all of the graphics settings turned on. Odin 2 can stream as well, but the screen is just a bit too small to really appreciate the graphics in modern games. For upscaled PS2 and Gamecube with texture packs, though... it's perfect, and the battery life is insane even when playing switch games.

    I'm half way done loading up the Best Roms kit on a 512GB Samsung. Write speeds are down to like 2MB a second but it's getting there. I'm jealous of the crystal color. It looks amazing. I went Black to play it safe but would have preferred your shell. This is the new standard handheld. I know everyone likes to compare it to Odin 2 phantom stock edition for $299, but the Odin is too big to just "Grab and Go" like the RP4. Also, it's almost 80-100G lighter and feels more like a cell phone one in your pocket. I have the same screen transition issue as you described. Something definitely still off with the calibration. What's weird is in games, it looks great! No weird colors so this must be a software controllable setting that we hopefully gain access to soon.

    I love my RP3+! The RP4Pro seems like an amazing device. Unfortunately, with the absurd shipping cost and the added taxes, the price of the 4 increases too much to be worth the expense imo.

    Good point! I was thinking about this last night because another reviewer really doesn’t think the form factor is good enough but I on the other hand love the fact that it’s so compact and if I want I can add the grip for more comfort. So it’s what trade off works for you.
