Retroid Pocket Mini

[velvet dagger]

LMFAO

weong reply oops

[vital laurel]

If they’re using the D1100 since it’s the chip they currently have that also supports a dock, then it will definitely support most PS2 games.

[marsh prairie]

Last I heard it’s a snapdragon 8 gen2

[signal pike]

Hope not, that's a lotta cash

[vital laurel]

What did I say about making it obvious? To cause the maximum pain, you use an example that’s plausible but still not happening, like the Snapdragon 888.

[velvet dagger]

H700

[marsh prairie]

Ok if you really want to go that route just say left over chips from the razer edge. The G3x gen 1

[marsh prairie]

Too high end

Not trying to break the bank here

[velvet dagger]

RK3566

final offer

[vital laurel]

I don’t think it being 960p OLED allows it to count as a middle ground.

[gleaming sluice]

rk3562

[novel ruin]

its got vent holes for fans in the trailer, no need for that if no ps2

[velvet dagger]

if i cant run
winlator that runs morrowind then whats the point anymore

[vital laurel]

The OLED automatically makes it a “it’s the best option we could find that was 4:3 but not obnoxiously huge”.

[gleaming sluice]

the screen is definitely nice enough, but the overall device... meh... can they sell me a less "ergonomic" backplate? 🥺

[velvet dagger]

get a grip for the ergo handheld

smh

[cosmic pond]

I still think this looks too big for what it's trying to do

but I guess we'll find out if it's a good trade off

[idle fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/kmt-yeah-right-hmmm-really-gif-21502858

[dreamy turtle]

So y'all think this goes below or above $200?

[simple sapphire]

Below

[marsh prairie]

150 max

[idle fractal]

170 minimum

[terse edge]

Would be more depending on the chipset

[jade marten]

I buy it If it's below 30

[terse edge]

This better have a G3X Gen 1 in that case

[marsh prairie]

There’s just no way

[dreamy turtle]

for reference, rg556 which has a larger more common OLED, and a weaker processor, is like $180

[terse edge]

That’s what you pay for estimated taxes

[marsh prairie]

It would have to be stronger than a 4 pro lol

[terse edge]

It’ll be around the base rp4 I’ll say

[idle fractal]

Yh but we got website that rg556 is even way cheaper

Like past anbernic devices

[thick iron]

Do we have a release date?

[novel ruin]

no

[pearl island]

If that is a real challenge, the answer is: the one from the surface duo

[marsh prairie]

That looks so ugly

Holy moly

[potent roost]

woah, what is THAT?

[vital laurel]

…I hope you realize there was an extra condition in there for the screen also not being as big as a full tablet. If not, then I will apologize for not thinking ahead to actually mention that.

[pearl island]

A travesty

[pearl island]

I’m talking about the surface duo - ie the phone, not the tablet

[potent roost]

it looks a little big to me but the display looks gorgeous

[marsh prairie]

Even worse really

[terse edge]

Okay okay

I’ll stop

[cobalt cloak]

[marsh prairie]

He finally showed a picture that cooks

[terse edge]

Had to bring out the big guns

[marsh prairie]

Honestly, just need this to watch oled old dragon ball

/s.

[quasi rose]

That sounds like a fun time

[novel ruin]

its android so thers streaming apps too

[lean panther]

Damn, I just remembered the RG556 vs RP4P wars

Imagine what happens when the RG406 hits 😄

[velvet dagger]

406 vs mini debates will go hard

[subtle aspen]

Here's the verdict I expect:
Screen size: 406
Literally everything else: Mini

[velvet dagger]

nah they'll be something dumb with the mini

like its a G99 or somethin

or the battery explodes

the oled burns in fast
etc

[lean panther]

Can't stop thinking the design language is very unusual for Retroid. Like it's not boxy/retro themed and not toy-like, just a pretty modern handheld

Would've fit Ayn better IMO out of those two

[stark zephyr]

They try something New this Can be good

[signal pike]

Ayn is Retroid so makes sense

[stark zephyr]

Huh

[lean panther]

Nah I'm not saying I dont' like it, I'm just saying it's not like their other devices

[stark zephyr]

My brain is not braining

[signal pike]

Same parent company. They share components a lot

[stark zephyr]

Yeah I know

[lean panther]

It feels like something designed by Ayn and shipped under Retroid brand by a last minute decision

[stark zephyr]

Didn't know that I learned something

So it's like Samsung and apple

[signal pike]

...no?

[velvet dagger]

honestly it has more of a modern anbernic design language

[lean panther]

More like Toyota and Lexus if you need an analogy

[pseudo sail]

What

[stark zephyr]

Samsung make battery for apple

[lean panther]

Yeah, but the companies are unrelated

[marsh prairie]

No they are literally the same company

[signal pike]

Thats not related

[marsh prairie]

Go ask them

[pseudo sail]

They make stuff for a lot of companies lol

Well

[stark zephyr]

Oh okay didn't know either

[pseudo sail]

More like they make parts that a lot of companies buy

[stark zephyr]

Okay

[open root]

Yeah I was gonna say, I thought the "they're under the same parent company" thing was deconfirmed, or at least denied by Retroid

[marsh prairie]

We really gonna have an Odin 2 mini and a retroid pocket mini? How long till people accept these guys are the exact same company, half joking

[lean panther]

Well true, most of it is "Hey Max, mind if I copy Unicorn too", but there's lots of features that appeared on Ayn or Aya Neo devices before either. Like those grips or function buttons

[open root]

There's an Odin 2 and a Retroid Pocket 2, I mean come ON guys, it's so obvious

[rough quiver]

W

[rapid elm]

now when will Odin release the Odin 2S

[rough quiver]

please be a better screen than 2S

not that 2S had a bad screen but i want like a really nice bezeless screen

[pearl island]

Right after pocket release Retroid

[lean panther]

Kinda funny to me that the harder Retroid and Ayn try to convince each other they're not the same company, the less community believes them

On Baidu I've seen screenshots of hardcore QQ beefs between Ayn and Retroid staff

Like Ayn coming in to troll Retroid for using crappy CPUs and stuff

[pearl island]

“You’re using the d900, no company releases an Android device with that chip” etc etc etc

[rough quiver]

atcually wait

its an oled screen

chris confirmed it

its OLED 3.7 inch 960p

thats awesome

i looked up what he was saying on retroid discord

now i will buy

[signal pike]

ok

[rough quiver]

i h ope battery life is good

because the fans are def implying that its a real ps2/gc machine

[vital laurel]

Retroid also confirmed it.

[gusty iron]

How long does Retroid typically tease a product before the actual release date?

[jade marten]

What happens if i accidently drop hot sauce on the fan

[marsh prairie]

Oh shit no way dude

[dreamy turtle]

This will be the ultimate endgame 4:3 couch handheld for me. I hope one day someone releases a micro handheld this good.

[lean panther]

I actually didn't notice pins were unavailable on mobile

Now I get why people ask the same questions over and over again

[jade marten]

Problem is heating is still a huge problem for higher end handhelds.

[pearl island]

Honestly my prediction is they’re using AYN’s leftover SD845s with Odin style active cooling. So GC but not great GC

[rapid elm]

pov: your 2 alt accounts are beefing on who can make the better lasagna

[rough quiver]

i doubt it

at worst they are using d900

[terse edge]

Retroid should have trolled them back for making their Odin 2 „mini“ $40 more expensive then their bigger Odin 2

[rough quiver]

ik the leak was saying it was between a d900 and d1100

which would probably make sense

[simple sapphire]

Dockablity

[rough quiver]

cuz this device isnt for switch at all

[simple sapphire]

D900 can't do that

[rough quiver]

yea

i dont think its a d900

[simple sapphire]

So not D900

[rough quiver]

i think they might actually go for SD this time

[simple sapphire]

I still think it's 6 Gen 1

[rough quiver]

which actually helps with making some more ps2 compatible

and its been a requested chip they do

[stark zephyr]

This

Is now interesting me

[rough quiver]

oled screen will probably drain a lot less battery too

compared to miniled

only issue might be outdoor play

but the thing is

smaller oleds like that are probably more modern

and probably are brighter

[copper meteor]

I've seen Russ video and man oh man it looks beautiful!

[rough quiver]

also oled technology imo just tends to be more viewable outdoors at lower brightnesses to begin with because of the viewing angles

[copper meteor]

Hmmmm fair as long as this is powerful enough to play PS 2 and GC games

[lean panther]

Yeah someone made a good point Qualcomm is not really known for keeping large stock of old chips, so a 6 Gen 1 is more likely than a five year old chip from them

[rough quiver]

ps vita was pretty dim with oled but outdoors it wasnt terrible

how good is a 6 gen 1?

[copper meteor]

also isn't the ps vita susceptable to burn in and mura more?

[rapid elm]

like 580k on antutu iirc

[rough quiver]

yea

[copper meteor]

oh Rip

rg 505 uses the vita screens

[rough quiver]

how good is that? Havent checked on that website in awhile

[lean panther]

Seems to be about on par with 855 with way better GPU to me

https://gadgetversus.com/processor/qualcomm-sm6450-snapdragon-6-gen-1-vs-qualcomm-sm8150-snapdragon-855/

[rough quiver]

Well i dont know many people who had burn-in on their ps vita

[rough quiver]

yea in that case we're good

[lean panther]

But yeah, I honestly never followed Qualcomm stuff, so know nothing about it

[rapid elm]

it's pretty good, but flagship chips are pushing towards 2m now

[rough quiver]

960p does mean we might want to 3x upscale our games

[terse edge]

What would be the Mali equivalent to that? 😅

[rough quiver]

but ya it should fix some weird ps2 incompatabilities like Klonoa 2

even if its less powerful than d1100

[rapid elm]

like a dimensity 7050?

[rough quiver]

i dont think it'll struggle to run any 3ds with the chip and dolphin should be fully playable with that chip

[terse edge]

That was weaker then the d1100, right?

[rough quiver]

ps2 it probably wouldnt be able to brute force as much as d1100 like shadow but idk

[rapid elm]

no clue

[stark zephyr]

This is off topic but is dimensity are good for emulation

[rapid elm]

they're pretty good

not as good as Qualcomm chips but they have a much higher performance baseline than Helio chips

[stark zephyr]

Because I have a dimensity 9200+ on my phone is it good ?

[terse edge]

D1100 is around 7200/7300 I wanna say

[stark zephyr]

Can I push to the Wii ?

[rapid elm]

a low end dimensity chip is more powerful than a Helio G99 I think

[rapid elm]

damn

[jade marten]

Ps2 is a must

[rapid elm]

that's really good

[copper meteor]

Wait so retroid teased this so that means it will release this year?

[stark zephyr]

Okay

[copper meteor]

I don't want it to be like the miyoo flip were I'm practically waiting for it still

[jade marten]

This decade for sure

[stark zephyr]

Ill try some emulation I have a terabyte on my phone

More than GameCube

[terse edge]

Pre orders should go up in the next 3 weeks

[rapid elm]

reasonably Wii and 3DS should work really well on your chip

I dunno about switch

[stark zephyr]

3ds is working fine with the New citra

[copper meteor]

Dang bro that's pretty soon

[stark zephyr]

Switch still impossible

[terse edge]

Yeah we’ll have full specs in the next 7 days

Retroid is quite fast after the first reveal

[copper meteor]

wait isn't switch emulation still being developed? it's a different team though I forgot what they are called now

[copper meteor]

faster than Miyoo atleast!

[terse edge]

Strato and sudachi

Ryujinx has plans for being ported to Android too

[stark zephyr]

Switch on my phone is bad

[copper meteor]

wait what? I thought ryujinx was already on android, looks like I was wrong

[stark zephyr]

Only lite games

[stark zephyr]

Me too

[terse edge]

It’s only on Apple silicon in terms of arm development

[lean panther]

Tbf Miyoo is working on the Flip about as much as I am, so guess I shouldn't compain

[rough quiver]

chris is implying that the chipset might be good enough for switch lmao

i was joking about no one using this device for switch and he hit me with the "How can you be so sure"

but yea my guess is the chipset is more than enough for ps2/gc/wii which are all its native aspect ratios

[copper meteor]

wait what? kinda add to port it to IOS only

[stark zephyr]

I don't know what they are gonna do but I don't think they gonna do better than the rg35xx sp

[copper meteor]

hmmm fair, I don't mind waiting for the flip these days since RG35xxSP

[rapid elm]

they should get a rep here to explain themselves

[rough quiver]

i think the device might be around 2S size

cuz it doesnt have that weird fucking chin

[terse edge]

No I’m talking about macOS , iOS doesn’t support jit so people aren’t as interested in that platform

[stark zephyr]

Guys am I the only one to have a rg503 rn

[rough quiver]

but theres grips to make it thicker

[lean panther]

Don't ask Miyoo what they have done for the Flip, ask yourself what you have done for the Flip

[rapid elm]

miyoo could literally just be bumpin' that right now

[copper meteor]

Ohhh whoops yeah you're right

[rapid elm]

uh I ate cat food

that counts right

[lean panther]

Shit, you're way ahead of everyone already

[rough quiver]

OLED means it'll have a much better response time too

rp4p response times are terrible

[copper meteor]

OLED means it'll look beautiful

[rapid elm]

maybe I should work at Miyoo then, maybe I'd be the only kitty getting something done

[rough quiver]

they're odin 2 bad now

[copper meteor]

inb4 it uses vita Oled /s

[rough quiver]

not even same aspect ratio LOL

i think someone should look up 3.7 inch oled displays

that could of been sourced

[rapid elm]

no wonder the screen has big bezels

[stark zephyr]

Oled on a 3.7 screen for a mini handeld is kind of amazing

[rapid elm]

it's just the vita screen with big bezels

🤯

[rough quiver]

yea the og 2S apparently sold great

probably makes sense why they'd make this

yea this is like the first small handheld to have oled

which is awesome

[stark zephyr]

Yeah but the 2s get very hot

[rough quiver]

no it doesnt

its internal temps are hot

but external is hardly hot ever

[copper meteor]

lol

[rough quiver]

3+ gets pretty hot, 4 pro doesn't

i think it depends on which one you accidentally get

[stark zephyr]

Oh I surely Confused with a another device

[rough quiver]

retroid def had heat issues on 3+

the 2S CAN get to a high temp because of a lack of fan if ur pushing it

but i rarely feel it get hot hot even with the screen

405M on the other hand, that motherfucker gets HOT

[signal pike]

My 405M only got warm when trying to squeeze PS2 out of it. No warmth at all otherwise

[rough quiver]

405m for me got crazy hot with gamecube

[stark zephyr]

Yep

[twin bison]

You can run Morrowind on a t618 even using openmicrowave, an android port of openMorrowind

[white shale]

Damn I was hoping openmicrowave was aftermarket firmware for microwave ovens

[twin bison]

This should let you have a higher draw distance than a t618 though

[finite dragon]

3259 posts already. You all are cooking

[simple sapphire]

We're hyped

And speculating

[gusty iron]

OLED made it exciting. If it was LCD, it would just be another generic handheld

[finite dragon]

Oh I agree:)

Let's hope the price isnt too crazy

[simple sapphire]

OLED GameCube and Wii 🤤🤤🤤

[simple sapphire]

Predicted to be cheaper than RP4 Base

[novel ruin]

how come the trailer isnt pinned lol, i just had to scroll SO FAR

[finite dragon]

Seems unlikely if it's about the same or slightly more powerful and has OLED but who knows. The RP2S was priced pretty well at the time.

[novel ruin]

[simple sapphire]

What handheld did you get

[terse edge]

It should have been, good work 👍

[simple sapphire]

Gorgeous

[terse edge]

XU Mini M 2?

[rapid elm]

it's supposedly going to be the vintage control

at least it's actually kinda mini

[simple sapphire]

The RP Mini?

[rapid elm]

nope

[pseudo sail]

Odin 2 mini?

[rapid elm]

noper

[high pecan]

this one #1276209218084409386

[simple sapphire]

Oh that...

Yeah that's neat!

[rapid elm]

bobby might have to sell his miyoo mini+ after 😿

literally me after getting the vintage control mini:

[dreamy turtle]

usually opposite. unless half the screen is black, oled pulls more power (vs lcd, not sure about miniled)

[rough quiver]

oled pulls way less power than miniled

miniled is known for being power hungry

@dreamy turtle iirc modern oleds tend to consume less

"technically" whites consume more

but iirc on average good oleds tend to be good in the power consumption department

this being a small oled makes it probably a much more modern screen compared to something like the rp3+'s iphone 6 screens used

psp and switch will definitely see some battery life improvements tho

[gritty stag]

My bet is the g99 chip
Only way to make this affordable? ($150) Or the t820 ($180)

[rough quiver]

it def wont be g99

retroid aint gonna try to make it less powerful than d900

im sure they have a surplus from the rp4 and if they couldnt find something more powerful than a d900 they would probably rather keep a d900 on the device

[gritty stag]

I don’t think pricing it over $200 will make sense

[rough quiver]

it wont be priced over 200$

[cobalt cloak]

Unless it’s truly a mini rp4 pro lol

[rough quiver]

like if they use a d900 or like a snapdragon 6 gen 1

im sure they can keep it to at least 150$

[pseudo sail]

That'd certainly be something

[gritty stag]

Not a chance

[pseudo sail]

I wouldn't complain

[cobalt cloak]

Would be nuts and almost too much power lmao

[quasi rose]

Keep in mind, the Mini is compatible with the Retroid Dock

[cobalt cloak]

But I’m down

[gritty stag]

$150 is lcd t820

[rough quiver]

i'm actually assuming it might be closer to 130$, they kinda need their prices to be low

[novel ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-burning-hell-gif-1773731824984430627

[pseudo sail]

As long as it's cheaper than the Odin 2 mini (I think I'm selling mine)

[cobalt cloak]

Oh really

[rough quiver]

they're re-using a lot of parts besides screen though

[pseudo sail]

Yes really

[rough quiver]

and its a smaller screen so even if its oled it could be possible that they got a really good deal on it

i'd assume a bigger screen like the 556 might be harder to source for cheap for oled

[gritty stag]

Aya used g99, and it’s the same parent company

[pseudo sail]

Don't get your hopes up just yet lol. It's not going anywhere till both RP mini and pocket Evo are in hand

[rough quiver]

the device has fans

its definitely designed with ps2/gc in mind

[cobalt cloak]

You’re thinking of ayn lol

[quasi rose]

Wrong one, That's Ayn

[pseudo sail]

I certainly am a fan so yes

[gritty stag]

Ah

[quasi rose]

Ayn and Retroid have the same parent company

[rough quiver]

i think they're smart enough to know that if they dont make the device noticeably better than the 2S specs wise

it wont sell well

they tried to make the selling point the screen with the rp3

and it bombed

[pseudo sail]

The rp3 bombed?

[rough quiver]

yea

[pseudo sail]

That's news to me lol

[terse edge]

Both don’t support the dock

[cobalt cloak]

Makes sense you don’t see a lot of em

[rough quiver]

its their only failure apparently besides maybe the flip with all the weird hinge crackings but the sales on the flip i heard were actually a lot better than i thought

[carmine trellis]

Fuck yes OLED AND high-res. So happy I held off from buying the Pocket DMG. This is the one for me. Shall buy on Say 1.

[rough quiver]

rp3+ sold well but rp3 sold like ass

[cobalt cloak]

Rp4 base is a failure IMO

[quasi rose]

The only possibility I can see is a Snapdragon chip cause it has to be compatible with the Retroid Dock and be comparable to a D900

[rough quiver]

rp2s sold very well

[pseudo sail]

Hell yeah

[gritty stag]

My bet is $150, but the chip won’t be great and only 90% of ps2/gc

[rough quiver]

because eventhough it was technically weaker than the 3+ it was still a big boost from 2+ to 2S

[pseudo sail]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-true-jaleel-white-eric-family-reunion-thats-right-gif-18566280

[rough quiver]

and it fixes fundamental problems of the 2+

[gritty stag]

I hope I am wrong

[cobalt cloak]

That’s a great chip

[gritty stag]

This might be end game 4:3

[cobalt cloak]

[rough quiver]

2S was basically a perfect device minus the screen and it probably needed more power and a little more battery life

I'd assume that's the direction they want to take

[cobalt cloak]

Hope so

[rough quiver]

they'll try to get something that at least matches rp4 in power

[marsh prairie]

Only 90% is wild to call a bad chip lol

[terse edge]

90% of ps2 is more then any other android handheld

[rough quiver]

they probably dont want rp4 pro power to cut costs because it doesnt need to emulate switch

they JUST want the device to be good at gc/ps2

wiith a 2x integer scale

as its use case

[terse edge]

Can Odin 2 even do that much with the state aether is in? ^^

[rough quiver]

yea

the ps2 games you cant play on odin arent really worth playing

same for rp4p

[novel ruin]

aether was above 90% playable yeah

[rough quiver]

the only exception i can think of is klonoa which requires a bunch of settings to get working properly with software renderer

but thats a mali issue

[cobalt cloak]

90% ps2 on a device this small, kinda nuts

[terse edge]

In that case it’ll still be better then the rp4p probably

[cobalt cloak]

But anyways. I want better battery for n64 lol

[gritty stag]

If the stars all align, and we get a decent chip, I think the probe is $200

[marsh prairie]

150 max

[rough quiver]

i think better performance than rp4 but worse performance than rp4 pro is probably a reasonable expectation

[novel ruin]

depends on specs
aether can do 90%+ but device specs still matter

[rough quiver]

for about 150$

[gritty stag]

Which will not be an instant buy for most people

[terse edge]

Less then $200 and the chip won’t be as powerful as the d1100

[rough quiver]

they price their 4:3 devices crazy well

[terse edge]

Im sure only Odin 2 can max that out

[rough quiver]

it wont be 200$

trust me

[cobalt cloak]

$200 is wild

[rough quiver]

they will try to do whatever it takes to make it at maximum 150$

while still having a good chipset

[novel ruin]

odin2 can do it with shaders
rp4p can do nearly all of it normal

[gritty stag]

They can because we all want oled, and this is end game

[rough quiver]

because they know if they fail at either

the device wont sell

[signal pike]

Didn't they already hint that its power is somewhere between the 900 and 1100?

[rough quiver]

they know oled sells but screen isnt enough

from the rp3 failure

that was from a leak

[marsh prairie]

Had to check, no new pins

[rough quiver]

Chris joked about people trying to play switch on the device

[simple sapphire]

I've heard it's similar to D900

[terse edge]

But I assume that’s with switching around builds?

Heard you need to switch to older builds for some games

[rough quiver]

my guess is the device is probably powerful enough to run lightweight switch lmao

so at least d900

[signal pike]

Even on par with 900 would be very acceptable

[novel ruin]

dont have either, cna only repeat others, no specifics

[cobalt cloak]

T820

[rough quiver]

it makes 0 sense for it to be weaker than d900

4 sold poorly im pretty sure

and if it sold terrible

[gritty stag]

I think t820 as well

[cobalt cloak]

Except for cost cutting

[rough quiver]

then they can repurpose the d900 chip for everything

[cobalt cloak]

Lol

They’re not using the d900

[rough quiver]

only issue is that d900 isnt like amazing amazing for ps2

[terse edge]

RetroTechdad had to go for a less accurate but more performant / older version for some games

[cobalt cloak]

This is already confirmed

[simple sapphire]

T820 doesn't do docking well

[rough quiver]

oh

they confirmed?

[simple sapphire]

It has to be dockable

[rough quiver]

yea if thats the case then its definitely something more powerful

[cobalt cloak]

Dockable

[novel ruin]

its very possible they are recycling base rp4 SOC lol

[terse edge]

But we agree on 90% of ps2 being a crazy statement

[simple sapphire]

D900 can't do USB-C Video Out

[rough quiver]

because i think they'd rather a more powerful device than a dockable device

[simple sapphire]

It can't do display out over USB-C

Which is needed for docking

[rough quiver]

and same would go for most people

[simple sapphire]

Which they did confirm

[vital laurel]

The problem with making predictions is that they already effectively limited the number of possible chipsets by saying the Mini would be dockable, which immediately gets rid of the D900 since that chipset outright doesn’t have the capability for Display-Out.

[terse edge]

What about D1050 / D1080 would be the T610 to the T618, no?

[simple sapphire]

So D900 is out of the question

[rough quiver]

yea

can d1100 do docking like that?

[terse edge]

Yes

[simple sapphire]

D1050/D1080 is slim

[rough quiver]

ok

[simple sapphire]

Yes, refer to RP4 Pro

[rough quiver]

yknow whats kinda funny

it could actually be a d1100

[terse edge]

What does slim mean?

[simple sapphire]

Nope

[rough quiver]

cuz its a retroid pocket MINI

[cobalt cloak]

Yeah

[simple sapphire]

Slim chance

[rough quiver]

so it can just be a mini version of the 4 pro

[terse edge]

Oooh

[rough quiver]

thats probably most likely actually

[simple sapphire]

Retroid wouldn't do that

Right now

[cobalt cloak]

Ayn did

[terse edge]

But ayn did

[signal pike]

The leak also mentioned the chip was not one that has been previously used so doubt it's a dimensity

[rough quiver]

why wouldnt they?

[simple sapphire]

It's most likely SD6 Gen 1

[gritty stag]

We should put a poll on Reddit

[rough quiver]

the leak is wrong on a lot of things tho iirc

yea

[simple sapphire]

Odin 2 mini is more expensive than base Odin 2

[novel ruin]

why not, it would be about a year between releases

[simple sapphire]

With the same chip

[rough quiver]

my guess is its either d1100 or sd6 gen 1

[terse edge]

Maybe that was the part that was denied when Aish asked

[copper meteor]

Ohhh that sounds like a fantastic chip

[simple sapphire]

That would mean the Mini would be more expensive than the RP4 Pro

[rough quiver]

they might do snapdragon because its widely requested

[copper meteor]

that's basically rg 556 and the rg cube levels of power

[rough quiver]

and it helps with ps2 which is a big selling point

d1100 might make sense just because they probably have some of those still in inventory

[terse edge]

Someone activate slow mode, my head spins

[novel ruin]

unless... the price of chips went down over time 😄

[vital laurel]

You mean the Leak that was immediately proven wrong by the screen size not being 4.3”?

[novel ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/spin-record-cat-gif-21749933

[simple sapphire]

It would be more expensive if they copy Ayn

O2 Mini is more expensive than O2

[copper meteor]

I kinda feel bad for Russ since he twitted that he wanted 4 inches

[rough quiver]

i think russ just wanted NOT 3.5 inch

[novel ruin]

not just russ, everyone has said 4" for ages now

[rough quiver]

i think he's fine with 3.7 inches, especially 3.7 inch oled with good integer scaling

[cobalt cloak]

Yeah 4” is the dream

[novel ruin]

the OLED freaks got to them instead.....

[rough quiver]

4 inches is ideal but i like 3.7 too

[lean panther]

He literally asked for 4 inches lol

[gritty stag]

Looking forward to more info on chipset

[rough quiver]

yea but there isnt any devices thats like

in between 3.5 and 4

so if you arent getting 3.5 its going to be 4

[novel ruin]

so?

[vital laurel]

I feel like we should probably go ahead and ignore what the leak said for our guesses considering this little bit of info.

[cobalt cloak]

Lol

[rough quiver]

ya ik

[lean panther]

I mean, I won‘t pretend 4 inches wouldn‘t be better but I really wanted OLED for a long time

[rough quiver]

retroid probably saw that people wanted a bigger screen (like 4 inches) and oled

[pseudo sail]

Wait

[terse edge]

I just thought it looked funny ;))

[rough quiver]

and probably got the ability to choose between 4 inches or 3.7 inches an oled

[pseudo sail]

Are we complaining about the screen already?

[rough quiver]

and went with the latter

[pseudo sail]

Sheesh

[copper meteor]

man people really want that 4 inches

[novel ruin]

funny enough yes

[rough quiver]

because oled 960p is too good to give up tbh

[lean panther]

For the last 500 messages or so

[novel ruin]

oled is lame compared to more screen

always has been

[rough quiver]

or they probably found a way to use the screen to make it bezel-less with their current design

nah

[novel ruin]

always will be

[rough quiver]

u need better eye sight

oled is always better

[pseudo sail]

Damn people will never be happy will they lmao

[rough quiver]

as long as its better than 3.5 inches i dont care

ps2 might be a little small but im fine

[vital laurel]

Well they technically did both since the screen is bigger than the 3.5” the 2S had.

[rough quiver]

yea

thats definitely their thought process

also rg405m screen

[copper meteor]

wait so if it's 960 at 4:3 does this mean it'll have good pxiel density? so it'll look amazing and with Oled?

[rough quiver]

was not that good

outside of it being big

it was low res and had terrible viewing angles

[rough quiver]

yes

[novel ruin]

everyeons complaint about rp2s for ever now is screen size

so 0.2 bigger is just ehhhhh

[rough quiver]

its far better than even the 3+

[pseudo sail]

Very good pixel density yes

[vital laurel]

And OLED is significantly better than what anyone actually expected, so that’s a massive amount of extra credit points.

[rough quiver]

which had crazy pixel density

[copper meteor]

Ohhh nice

[rough quiver]

crazy scaling and pixel density and oled more than makes up for 0.3 inches

[pseudo sail]

I never thought it was a problem

[cobalt cloak]

Agree

[rough quiver]

and no bezels too

and front firing speakers

as long as its powerful enough for gc/ps2

it should sell well

[vital laurel]

They were also complaining about it being 480p, so it being something we didn’t even expect (OLED) as well as being double the resolution of 480p is already pretty great.

[rough quiver]

even if it manages to sell for far more than expected

[novel ruin]

i should rephrase

everyones main method of improving the rp2s was 4" screen size

[quasi rose]

Everyone talking bout 4in vs oled, im just here like "I just hope the chipset isn't ass and that it's color choices are decent." Im not replacing my O2 Mini for this, but this would be nice to have for my siblings

[novel ruin]

and more pixels

[cobalt cloak]

Pixel density matters less when the screen is that small

[pseudo sail]

More pixels I can see yeah

[novel ruin]

we got more pixels but not more size really

[pseudo sail]

Never had an issue with the size tho

[rough quiver]

i mean it looks fucking awesome either way so like

[terse edge]

The fact that it fully supports the dock means it literally can’t be a bad chipset

[vital laurel]

So they got that right and they did something we didn’t even believe could happen by getting OLED.

[rough quiver]

but then again im the same guy who doesnt care about 2s screen being small

well i kinda do

it looks off for gamecube

[lean panther]

Oh fuck somehow my brain ignored that this resolution should allow to 2x scale a lot of games lol. That‘s sweet

[pseudo sail]

I trust jigg

[rough quiver]

but on older systems it looks fine

[vital laurel]

Alongside still being slightly bigger than the 2S screen.

[pseudo sail]

He seems like a knowledgeable guy

[terse edge]

Thanks

[cobalt cloak]

Jesus Christ jigg

[quasi rose]

Oh ik that, Im just hoping its something good rn lol

[pseudo sail]

Jiggs based

[cobalt cloak]

The pic didn’t even load and I know what it was

[terse edge]

Oh sht I didn’t see you

[pseudo sail]

Saucy half naked anime girls

[lean panther]

Anime titties, six of them

(makes it sound worse than it really was)

[quasi rose]

For me, as long as it's a high resolution, good specs, not 3.5", and has good ergonomically at a decent price, sign me up

[novel ruin]

all i gotta say is oled will do fuckall for a majority of retro games lol

[pseudo sail]

This is literally the perfect companion for my pocket Evo

[novel ruin]

so many blacks to make deeper in these lol

[signal pike]

Good thing it's not just the blacks that OLED helps then huh?

[plucky hawk]

is there only 1 color variant for the mini?

[pseudo sail]

No lol

There will be more

[terse edge]

Pocket Evo + RP Mini is the new Odin 2 + RP2S ☝️

[plucky hawk]

Noice!

[pseudo sail]

This isn't Ayn or Ayaneo lol

[quasi rose]

They'll be more

[pseudo sail]

Preach it Jigg

[novel ruin]

considering most retro games were already made to be high contrast, yeah funfunfun

[copper meteor]

Retroid please give me this in colour

[pseudo sail]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-gif-26153874

[plucky hawk]

ok thanks, i hate the one shown in the picture

[quasi rose]

Cool, i'll stick with my O2 Mini and RGB30 lol

[vital laurel]

Wow, you couldn’t even cherry pick the games properly, considering you forgot to get rid of Metroid.

[pseudo sail]

I want either SFC or GameCube indigo

[signal pike]

I don't think they know what color saturation is

[novel ruin]

i put it there as a trap, what does it matter how black the background is?

[terse edge]

Indigo has to make a comeback, has been benched for too long now

[copper meteor]

same! Would be even better if it has the same colors as the pocket evo

[vital laurel]

Matters when the whole point of OLED is that.

[pseudo sail]

Nah it needs a contrasting color

[terse edge]

https://tenor.com/view/power-jeremy-fragrance-gif-7621753315283580988

[copper meteor]

like famicom color?

[pseudo sail]

Yes

[copper meteor]

Hell yeah

[novel ruin]

are you here to stare at it or play the game? 😄

[pseudo sail]

Or GBA/GC indigo

[copper meteor]

what about GBA Spicy Orange?

[novel ruin]

id love a gc color

[rough quiver]

rn im worried about battery life

because this device will probably be used for ps2

[pseudo sail]

Perhaps

[copper meteor]

Retroid pocket mini needs to have 8,000 MAH battery life /s

[novel ruin]

it will probly hit 6 on average and 4 on ps2, dont worry too much

[rough quiver]

yea

[terse edge]

Im gonna say 4000mAh

[rough quiver]

actually a lot of what determines the battery life is probably going to be the screen

and how power efficient that oled is

[pseudo sail]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-walter-white-why-are-you-blue-blue-jesse-gif-27031558

[rough quiver]

actually its probably 4500 mAH

i'd assume its a little higher than 2S

[pseudo sail]

Arch when did you become blue lol

[quasi rose]

I would say 5000 mAH

[rough quiver]

just because the device is thicker

[vital laurel]

Play the games, and I like how the games look on OLED.

[rough quiver]

it could be 5000 too yea

but 4500mAH is a reasonable guess

[copper meteor]

Oh yeah not sure if I've already said this already but, Retroid pocket mini reminds me of this

[rough quiver]

because they need that extra juice for fans

at the very least

[vital laurel]

I also like having a higher resolution than 480p.

[cobalt cloak]

2600mah

[terse edge]

The cube has 5200mAh but sacrificed the entire bottom (no ports) for it

RP Mini will be below Cube

[pseudo sail]

Is that a bad thing?

[terse edge]

5000 would be fantastic though

[copper meteor]

[signal pike]

It'll run with 8 double-A batteries and you will buy it

[pseudo sail]

Yeah I'd love 5000mah

[quasi rose]

But this is wider than the cube tho

[terse edge]

Well that means your ports are up top

So no docking

Not like the t820 can dock anyways

[pseudo sail]

Just flip the device upsidedown 5head

[rough quiver]

5000 will make it kinda heavy tho

[terse edge]

It’ll depend on the cooling

And how space the fan takes

[quasi rose]

Yeah

[pseudo sail]

I need 8600mah NOW

[quasi rose]

Rn, im just interested to see what Retroid has cooking up

[terse edge]

But the screen to body ratio doesn’t look to great so there might be space for 5000mAh

[terse edge]

https://tenor.com/view/carrytheboats-davidgoggins-pump-lift-benchpress-gif-23301293

[pseudo sail]

What do you wanna bet the reason the bezels are so big is because it's actually a 16:9 being covered up

[terse edge]

You know what to do

[quasi rose]

Cause Amblernic is doing Amblernic things, Powkiddy has a 3588 device in the works, Miyoo is.... somewhere, Ayn is probably just chilling till its time to break the space again, and Ayaneo is being Ayaneo

[copper meteor]

Comeone aya neo make a DS

I dare you

[terse edge]

The screen is to flush with the body for that to be the case ;))

[rough quiver]

powkiddy i felt like fell off so hard

[copper meteor]

isn't the rgb10m3 good though?

[terse edge]

#1097476284990378044 might be what they needed

[rough quiver]

as devices got more premium and better powkiddy kinda just hasnt been able to do much

i mean maybe it is

[terse edge]

And rgb30 is kinda goated

[rough quiver]

i rarely hear about it

people like the rgb30

but it had a ton of problems

and build quailty was one of them

[copper meteor]

wait isn't anerbernic making a RGB 30? like linux not android

[rough quiver]

powkiddy kinda gets a rep for being very cheap feeling compared to anbernic

[terse edge]

I only hear rocknix devs use it and @twin bison for psp

[copper meteor]

Ohhhh nice

[rough quiver]

i feel like what makes the rg cube not as useful for its niche are kinda two things

[terse edge]

They keep tinkering with it and test everything with these weird panfrost drivers

[rough quiver]

citra is the only emulator besides yuzu and vita3k to not have good standby times

so you are forced to quit out of emulation everytime you are done

[copper meteor]

man they souinds creativer

[rough quiver]

and theres no native pico-8

so two potential use cases for it just aren't that useful anymore

unfort

[copper meteor]

what's unfort?

[signal pike]

Powkiddy was acceptable in 2018 when every company sucked at making these things but everyone else progressed while they stayed in 2018

[rough quiver]

just the rg cube

and how like 2 of 3 potential use cases aren't really all that practical

[terse edge]

Unfortunate

I guess

[copper meteor]

Ahh

I like the RG CUBE would be a great Gameboy color machine

[rough quiver]

yea but rgb30 does the same thing

[terse edge]

Except for the fact that it should cost half in that case

And it forces your hands to use the stick

[rough quiver]

its got the power for 3ds

[signal pike]

If you're willing to pay $150 to play GB I know a guy that will sell you an igloo

[rough quiver]

but its not quite powerful enough for amazing 3ds emulation

[copper meteor]

Haha fair

[novel ruin]

thats where it excels, but, it leaveas a lot of power on the floor or else everything else is wonky

[rough quiver]

and itll die in sleep mode in a day because citra doesnt do real standby

[terse edge]

But the sticks acts like a dpad so I guess it’s fine?

[rough quiver]

unless lime3ds finds a way to fix it

like dolphin did at some point

dolphin made your battery cry while its sleeping

but a random update fixed it

and now it drains like 10% per day which is way way better

[novel ruin]

play the two most potato systems full screen and have everything else letter boxed lol

great device

[copper meteor]

Hmm I can see why people might not like the RG CUBE I guess

[quasi rose]

What did I start

[rough quiver]

its a really cool device in theory

but yea the more i hear about it

the less good it sounds

[terse edge]

Light bleed issues and anbernic lying to both customers and reviewers didn’t help either

[quasi rose]

All I said was that I was interested to see what Retroid was cooking since everyone else is either doing their own thing or something different xD

[terse edge]

Stubbs was pissed

[novel ruin]

the 1:1 lovers are just as special as the OLED peeps
loving a single feature to the detriment of all others
then being disappointed later and mad when others point it out

[rough quiver]

ok but like

oled is super awesome

[copper meteor]

Oh yeah there's that

[terse edge]

Despised being the calm and reserved cutie patootie that he is

[copper meteor]

but that's with all retro emulation handhelds though

[rough quiver]

1:1 is significantly more niche than oled

[copper meteor]

all retro emulation handhelds have detriments

[novel ruin]

sure, but it falls below pixel density and screen total size

[rough quiver]

pixel density is its best part

besides oled

960p 3.7 inch is crazy

screen could be bigger yea

but its at least not 3.5 inch

[thick iron]

$40 ewaste retro handhelds are awesome a a true flex of chinese manufacturing and distribution, but it's fair to pay for a premium experience.

[rough quiver]

and the current market 4 inch screens kinda suck from what i hear

and from what ive played on 405m

its like

serviceable, and decently big

but viewing angles are horrible and i hear its the same story with rg-arc

and its pretty unsaturated and blue tinted

i'd much prefer a smaller oled to that

good display quality matters a lot lol

[terse edge]

Guess anbernics over sharpening didn’t help out either

[rough quiver]

if you want a bigger screen buy an odin 2 or steam deck

[rough quiver]

i noticed it after installing gamma and oversharpening was removed

[copper meteor]

or Pocket evo!

[terse edge]

Gamma to the rescue

[rough quiver]

it was a pretty meh screen

[copper meteor]

Pocket evo is 7 inches

[thick iron]

Yeah fair, though while I love OLED screens I have less expectations from a lower cost device. Though hoping this OLED makes it to a nice Linux device

[rough quiver]

yea

[terse edge]

At least you’ll be able to get it below $60 when the XX40V goes on sale

[rough quiver]

oled is crazy underrated for those who dont have oled devices

cuz a lot of people see it as a gimmick but its really just a nice screen

i dont care about it having perfect color accuracy

its just a screen with a good response time and good colors and the deep blacks makes black bezels look a lot more appealing

[quasi rose]

I have OLED stuff and tbh, it's nice, but not exactly nesseary to me imho

[thick iron]

hdr crt shaders are insane on my sd oled...even considering the relatively low res screen

[rough quiver]

yea

oled isnt like

a requirement

[terse edge]

Are there any particular settings (like retro arch shaders) that benefit from oled?

[novel ruin]

nop

[rough quiver]

but between 4 inch non-oled and 3.7 inch oled with amazing pixel density and integer scale

its oled every time

[copper meteor]

I've never owned Oled! That's why I'm hyped for the Pocket evo I backed

I'm so hyped

[rough quiver]

only issue with oled is

they're sometimes kinda dim

depending on the screen

[thick iron]

crt shaders naturally darken the screen since they are covering it with lines (overly simple explanation). So HDR helps brighten the screen and compensate and can provide a pretty damn accurate crt experience

[rough quiver]

smaller oleds dont have this problem as frequent because they're normally more modern displays like ive said a couple of times

so we'll wait for specs reveal

[stark zephyr]

I only owned Oled with the rg503 lol

[copper meteor]

A bit too pricey for me but I’m happy for everyone who got it

[copper meteor]

Ohh nice

[copper meteor]

yee pretty hyped

[rough quiver]

yea

[stark zephyr]

Rg503 is a rk356 chipset if im not wrong

[rough quiver]

i think for that device

steam deck oled is probably a better investment

or getting a gaming laptop

[stark zephyr]

So not that good

[copper meteor]

now retroied should make retroid pocket mini flip

[thick iron]

even switch oled was a crazy upgrade. I remember being disappointed that the switch pro didn't come out but it was such an improvement it felt like the switch got a hardware upgrade

[rough quiver]

its always been the ayaneo problem

cuz u could choose between a rog ally

a steam deck oled

or a real gaming laptop/pc

[terse edge]

Still waiting for a steam deck 2 with zen 5

[stark zephyr]

Also Taki Udon Is working on a Nintendo Switch lite oled

[copper meteor]

to be honest I already have a powerful PC I'd rather just get the Pocket Evo and use steam link

[stark zephyr]

Ill send

[quasi rose]

Imma put my piece like this: Had a Tab S7+ and current own an s23 Ultra. Screens fuck hard and colors are awesome, but when it comes to it in my gaming stuff, I honestly can take it or leave it. Never bothered me too much

But if I had to chose between 4" non oled

And 3.7 oled

Im going 3.7

[simple sapphire]

Same

[quasi rose]

Cause even im not that stupid

[terse edge]

Yeah it’ll release before 26.09

[copper meteor]

Also hyped for his FPGA handheld

[quasi rose]

To deny that it's a notable upgrade

[stark zephyr]

Yep

[simple sapphire]

I love my punchy colours and deep rich blacks

OLED all the way

[rough quiver]

960p 3.7 inch is like

almost as good as analogue pocket

its crazy

[simple sapphire]

If a phone doesn't have OLED I don't want it

[copper meteor]

Dang that's crazy good

[terse edge]

Looks as ergonomic as the mini

[rough quiver]

2x integer scaled gamecube with oled is CRAZY

[simple sapphire]

[rough quiver]

with its native aspect ratio too!

and enough power probably to run all of the gc library as well

same for ps2!

[white shale]

True. They're still very usable typically

And Retroid has the best Android out there of these companies

[pseudo sail]

i'd agree

Ayn android is okay

but Anbernic android is poo

[copper meteor]

@pseudo sail I'm getting retroid pocket mini, it's gonna be great alongside with my pocket evo

[white shale]

Yeah Ayn is fine too

[pseudo sail]

bro same

[copper meteor]

would anyone be shocked if we get metal retroid pocket mini?

[carmine trellis]

Nevertheless I would my black borders/letterboxing be black and only OLED can pull that off

[pseudo sail]

nope

[copper meteor]

Retroid pocket 2s got a metal variant

[pseudo sail]

it's inevitable

[terse edge]

Rp4 hasn’t gotten one

[pseudo sail]

I want a metal RP Mini made out of tungsten

[novel ruin]

ima spend my time playing the game and not look at the screen edges

[copper meteor]

Oh RIP

I want this color for the retroid pocket 2 mini

[quasi rose]

So you want it to be blast proof ok

[quasi rose]

NO

[terse edge]

I think metal reshells just take away resources from R&D for newer devices

[copper meteor]

Neon yellow is pretty good

[pseudo sail]

piss yellow

[copper meteor]

Neon yellow analogue sticks and buttons, neon green for the body

[carmine trellis]

Yeah we all play games. Doesn’t mean we all have to tolerate or can deal with old tech that affects how things look and gameplay. I mean my eyes aren’t getting any better either. Higher-res despite being 3.7” is godsend for reading.

[rough quiver]

i miss when retroid had themed startups

[pseudo sail]

Bold claim saying we all play games lol

[rough quiver]

like 2+ having a gameboy advance startup parody

and 3 having dkc parody startup

[terse edge]

I miss Taki

[rough quiver]

now its just generic logos on boot

[copper meteor]

wait they did?

[rough quiver]

yea

they did

it was fucking awesome

[copper meteor]

I wonder if taki handheld will have Oled? I doubt it

[rough quiver]

but they got rid of it once they released the 3+

[simple sapphire]

I'm hyped for this

[pseudo sail]

rp3+ does not have oled, no

[carmine trellis]

I stand by it. The question is for how long and for what purpose

[terse edge]

It’s guaranteed to be amoled

[copper meteor]

isn't amoled an oled?

[quasi rose]

Its in the name lol

[terse edge]

Might be the same oled as on the aya Neo pocket dmg

[pseudo sail]

My time is mostly spent scraping box art and setting up emulators

[copper meteor]

Ahh

I could have sworn, Oled and Amoled are differenty

[pseudo sail]

womp womp

[carmine trellis]

Still gotta play/run a game to test that emulator performance.

[quasi rose]

If it's anything like my first day with my O2 Mini, I spent it using it as a music player, scraping boxart, and setting up emulators

[pseudo sail]

Okay yeah sure I run the games. Not really any playing going on tho lol

[copper meteor]

you know retroid will eventually ran out of gimmicks so a retroid pocket 2 flip is inevitable

[pseudo sail]

My current POV

[copper meteor]

Oh TIL

[copper meteor]

wait why is it taking so long?

is it because the wifi on the RG405V is weak?

[terse edge]

There’s also super amoled and dynamic amoled but I have 0 idea on how they are any different

[pseudo sail]

Cuz I didn't have an account linked b4

[copper meteor]

Ohhh

I didn't know linking an account was faster

[pseudo sail]

It's like 5x faster now that I linked my account

[copper meteor]

Ohhh goti t

[simple sapphire]

Have fun!!!
