Re: Hands On: Retro Handheld Face-Off - Anbernic R351 Vs Retroid Pocket 2

I have an rg351p with arkOS and love it. N64 emulation is good if you use the standalone emulator option. PPSSPP has a "go" version on ArkOS which I can play a lot of games at 2x resolution. The whole experience is awesome.
I originally bought the rg351M because of wifi and the metal build. But the extra weight just seemed unnecessary for a portable device. The p version is much more pocketable in my opinion and the wifi dongle works for the rare times you need it after setup. Plus it's 50 bucks cheaper on Amazon.
I've looked at the rg351v but just a personal preference don't like the vertical layout. The Retroid Pocket 2 is intriguing but I have an Android phone and while it can do more, having the ArkOs (or even 351elec) all in one firmware is just the best for a small device like this.
I'm probably 2 months into getting into to these devices and it's very addicting. I think the next wave of devices are going to hurt my wallet.
