That is tempting even if I just a RP6. FWIW, that is the same CPU as my old (12GB*) Retroid Pocket 5 which could handle 80% of the Switch I've thrown at it and what it couldn't, was still a pain to emulate on my Steam Deck so to me wasn't device limited, likely emulation issues.

*in theory these should be shipping with 12GB of ram as well since Retroid ran out of 8GB DDR4 sticks over the summer and have just been using 12GB since then.

Has that been confirmed that they'll be shipping these with 12GB like the RP5? I've not heard anything like that so i kind of just assumed these all still had 8GB and they're just clearing out stock, not manufacturing these anymore.

EDIT* - Nevermind, it looks like it's been confirmed that the Flip 2 was also updated with 12GB. Cool!

Huge fan of mine. Great value at this price. I carry mine around in my pocket everywhere and have been pretty hard on it- hinges and screen are still great.

I mostly play dolphin emulator and steam play streamed from my PC. I also have a 3d printed hand grip for comfort. This is my favorite hand held for sure.

I think all of these should be 12GB, but rarely the listings reflect it, and you never know, even if they are still manufacturing, you could end up with an 8GB unit just because someone didn't 'rotate' stock. So even with the RP5, I'd treat receiving 12GB as a bonus unless the listing flat out promises it. Same with a 120hz screen (which my RP5 didn't seem to have)

*And I do think Retroid has acknowledged they are using 12GB sticks, but hasn't so far as to confirm that is the new specs moving forward. Also they've been alluding to stopping production for a while but I am guessing with all of their back to back to back sales, and still pumping out new units (my RP5 was bought and manufactured in Aug 2026) so IMO production still appears to be at full speed. They likely planned to stop manufacture of these last gen models but with the economy what it is, a lot of people can't afford the RP6 and also DDR4 pricing may be still allowing them to produce these last gen models as an alterative budget option.

The 5 is amazing (especially with Switch), I only upgraded right now because of the AE sales and CB. For $30 more (after CB) the 6 is 2-3x more powerful. I also like the thumbstick up top better too, didn't think I would TBH since that is the opposite layout of the Steam Deck. I will say the 6 seems to have far better battery life and the fan hardly turns on compared to the 5. Likely I was maxing out the 5 all the time (which it never failed me at anything I threw at it) yet the 6 likely has so much headroom the battery and CPU isn't even breaking a sweat. Honestly, I wish I had picked up a G2 for the short period those were around. That might have been the sweet spot of the overall RP5 design, which was better IMO, with 90 of the power of the 6. Other than the choice of thumbstick locations and the back buttons, I think physically the 6 is a step back in terms of design.

P.S. Might seem minor, but the actually thumbstick toppers on the 6 are HORRIBLE. I stole the concave ones off my 5, whoever buys that will get to enjoy brand new sticks...that royally suck. I have 3D printed better sticks than what comes with the RP6.
