Retroid Pocket 5 Android Console: Excellence for Neo Retro Gaming

  • Pushing Boundaries : Powerful emulation with PS2/NGC upscaling
  • Comfortable: Ideal portable format enhanced by a large AMOLED screen
  • Design: Premium finish with 4 sophisticated colors to choose from

The Retroid Pocket 5 Android console perfects the latest advancements in neo retro consoles and reproduces machines covering more than 30 years of video games in remarkable comfort.

Its superb 5.5" 1080p AMOLED screen transforms your games into a shimmering choreography, from the most minimalist 2D sprites and pixels to the most sophisticated 3D polygons and textures.

The RP5 can reproduce and even improve almost all popular video game consoles and machines from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. What would have been pure science fiction a few years ago is now an incredible reality.

 

  • Faithful reproduction and console enhancement:  The experience is even better than in your memories thanks to the upscaling of the original resolution.
  • Ultra-compatible system: The console is powered by Android 13 with access to the rich Google Play Store game catalog,  streaming apps, and cloud gaming.

  • Ergonomic : Even for games not compatible with the controller, the remapping function allows you to assign touch functions to the controller buttons.

  • Powerful: Late 90s and early 2000s consoles are back with fully supported emulation of the second generation of 3D consoles.
