The Retroid Pocket 2+ is a very good starter device for anyone looking to get their hands on a retro gaming console. It’s low price and great performance are definitely plus points which help it stand out from the competition.

Pros

Great value! You get a lot for the price you are paying for.
Powerful CPU/GPU combination at this price point. You can play all the way up to N64, PSP and Dreamcast without hiccups.
Built in Retroid Launcher is quite easy to use and it allows the device to be set up quickly.
Buttons are comfortable and build quality is quite good.

Cons

Not as ergonomic as it could have been due to its squarish design
Right analog joystick isn’t a real joystick. It doesn’t work very well but thankfully the amount of games needing this is minimal.
Touch screen responsiveness could have been better.
