Community Reviews

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.

Pretty close to ordering direct from Retroid, when you consider Retroid doesn't charge sales tax, but charges a separate (high) shipping fee, and Aliexpress charges state sales tax, but no separate shipping fee.

Retroid
RP6: $244
Shipping: $26
Total: $270.00

Aliexpress
RP6: $297.85
Coupon: -$40.00 (JJX40D)
Sales Tax (depends on state, in this case IL): $21.92
Total: $279.77

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.
PSA: Make sure to use virtual CC# when ordering from Retroid. There's legions of reports of users with stolen CC's that used it only on Retroid. It's not the company that's been breach/shady - it's the cc provider.

but then what was the point of the RP5?
OLED screen + you don't care about PS2/GameCube, or you are willing to tinker to emulate at that level.

Yeah, I just use PayPal so the credit card isn't revealed to Retroid. Agreed, it's good to obfuscate your card number, and never use debit cards.

Unfortunately paypal had blacklisted retroid (several on the retroid discord had the same issue as I did).

Who cares? The final price is still cheaper on the Retroid website. This isn't a slickdeal at all.
Just doing my civic duty by taking the time to explain it to people who apparently can't read.

When did they blacklist Retroid? I just used Paypal to purchase a Duo last month.

I don't know. When I ordered it on Dec 5 2025 there were a flood of reports that Paypal wasn't working with them.

I ended up generating a Virtual CC with my citi double cash back.

Love my retroid flip 2, which has identical internals, but for the same price point an Odin would probably be a better "handheld power per dollar spent" value!

That being said id recommend the clamshell retroid flip 2. I pocket it and carry it everywhere with me. Steam play from home.. ive been enjoying my second dave the diver playthrough on it.
Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is Snapdragon 865 not Gen 2.
