The RG505 is an affordable option for those who want to relive the nostalgia of playing their favorite games from the past. It’s stand out feature is its OLED screen which is beautiful and has accurate colors. Its price/performance makes it a value device. However, it does come with quite a bit of flaws which prevents it from being a perfect device.
Pros
- Plays well up to the PSP while still able to play some 6th gen console games.
- OLED screen has accurate colors.
Cons
- Ergonomics can be better.
- Thick screen bezels make the device bigger than competition with bigger screens.
- No Google Play Store. (Update 3rd Nov 2023: Google Play has been added since Q4 2022. Thanks carmine!)
- No video out.

I think this may need to be updated, recently there was an update for google play to be added.
Hey carmine, you are absolutely correct. Thanks for pointing that out. Well I guess it is better a year late than never =)
