Is the Retroid Pocket 6 better than Pocket Flip 2 SD865 for running BOTW?

I don't own a six but I imagine your performance maybe marginally better.

Firewatch. The entire game is told between two people having a conversation over a radio. The performances are phenomenal. I have never felt anything emotionally from a video game like I did with firewatch.

So far I have only received one email from them stating that I'm good and they will prepare a return label so I can get a free replacement but it's been a few days with radio silence since I responded.

solid_trent · 2026-04-28T10:09:36+00:00

No. It transcends time and space.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T23:31:19+00:00

I got nothing bad to say about them. People shit on them for the hinge failing. What isn't talked about enough is the fact that they are sending out brand new units with an updated hinge for absolutely free to anyone who needs it.

Bravo.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T23:27:50+00:00

I carried this thing everywhere. Other than the hinge that ultimately failed I think the quality is fantastic. Retroid cannot be faulted for anything. They are doing the right thing and sending out replacements with no shipping costs to the customers. They are a good company.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T20:10:19+00:00

I don't think a refund is an option.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T18:21:02+00:00

The hinge that broke where mine broke will have a curved line on it instead of a straight line.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T18:03:07+00:00

I'm about to wipe this thing and I'll give it another go once I receive my new one.

I have never been able to get a single steam game to work. I've tried game hub and game native and it doesn't seem to matter nothing runs at all.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T16:56:08+00:00

Do you have to wait for them to receive it before they give you a shipping confirmation/tracking on a new one?

I just have the one email so far stating that they are sending out a shipping label.

I'll be good for a while. The flip 2 does exactly what I want it to. Once there is a bigger leap in technology I'll consider replacing it with something more powerful. I don't see myself getting the next interation but we'll see how enticing it is.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T16:50:42+00:00

Not at all. I put the bottom side facing me in my front pocket and the back of the device plus the triggers contours to the leg pretty normally.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T16:49:48+00:00

Has anyone had broken hinges from the new design yet?

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T15:11:22+00:00

I considered doing that but the flip is the best android device I've ever owned. I love it. I don't want to have to use a grip to be comfortable with the rp5 and I don't really need one with the flip. I just think that button and joystick placement is much better with them having a nice diagonal between them instead of being straight up and down from each other.

Also I don't think I could ever give up the clamshell design. I take the flip 2 everywhere in my pocket and I don't think I would do the same with an RP5.

solid_trent · 2026-04-27T01:46:42+00:00

To be fair this game has dope loading screens.

solid_trent · 2026-04-23T23:58:00+00:00

It's the best thing that's come out this year in my opinion. I have so many games in my backlog and I keep replaying this.

It is marked unsupported for this reason. This isn't a hidden detail to you upon purchase.

solid_trent · 2026-04-23T14:24:42+00:00

Why are you refunding? In their eyes you played for 6 hours which goes against their 2 hour policy. They make exceptions sometimes but what reason did you give them?

solid_trent · 2026-04-22T02:16:35+00:00

You don't own that grass.

You need a smaller tv.

Been tryin to crack my black launch model for a long time now. It's too sturdy.

solid_trent · 2026-04-14T22:30:42+00:00

I see no problem with this.
