The RP6 stands out as a pocketable Android handheld with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and an OLED screen, making it especially appealing for retro play and more demanding emulation. Up to Dreamcast, N64, PS1, and PSP it behaves much like the RP5, but it handles PS2, GameCube, Wii, and Switch more smoothly and opens up better PC streaming and Winlator style gaming. Pricing lands around $270 after shipping or extra checkout charges, and direct orders can take 2 to 3 weeks from China. Some also flag AliExpress verification and card security concerns, so the value depends on how much you want the extra performance and portability.
Retro handheld players who want smoother PS2, GameCube, Wii, and Switch emulation, because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 handles those games better than the RP5.
Pocket-carry gamers who want a handheld for waiting rooms or quick home sessions, because it slips in and out of a pocket more easily than larger devices.
Shoppers who care about display quality and do not need PS2 or GameCube performance, because the OLED screen is a major draw.
PC game streamers using Winlator, Gamehub, or Gamenative, because the stronger chip improves Android-side PC gaming support.
Budget-minded handheld buyers comparing value per dollar, because the RP6 is repeatedly described as worse value than cheaper or similarly priced alternatives.
People unwilling to deal with extra account verification or checkout friction, because ordering can trigger photo ID checks and additional charges at checkout.
Players who mainly stick to Dreamcast, N64, PS1, and PSP, because the RP6 performs about the same as the RP5 at those systems.
Shoppers who want a larger screen for easier play, because the display is smaller than competing handhelds and feels less comfortable for some games.

If the $12 off Paypal promo was still live, it would be lower than Retroid direct, but that promo is dead.
One wrinkle in all of this is that if you purchase from Retroid direct, it will ship from China, with around 2-3 week turn around as long as they have stock. Buying this from Coopreme via Aliexpress may indeed ship from a US warehouse, and arrive much sooner. Additionally, shipments from Retroid that pass through GoFo's Melrose Park distribution center for the past month have been randomly stolen. If you live in the MidWest down through Texas, there have been at least 7 confirmed thefts reported on the Retroid Reddit. I've been following these for the past month, and it has become a serious problem.
Honestly, I think it's worth the $9.77 difference to buy from Coopreme via Aliexpress for faster shipping and possibly avoiding GoFo's Melrose Park theft center.

You can't put a Steam Deck in your pocket. I mean, even for using around the house. Carrying around a Steam Deck feels a bit much. Slipping an RP6 in and out of a pocket, not so much. And now the Nova exists, which is even more pocketable. So, there is that.
And I mean this for home use. I would maybe carry a Pocket Nova, or RP6 around, but I'd mostly keep it in my bag. But, I don't want to bring around a Steam Deck. Pulling that out in a waiting room, or grocery store line, etc... feels a bit much.
