Retroid Pocket 5 to shake up retro gaming handheld market by combining 1080p AMOLED display with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, 5,000 mAh battery and Linux support

The Retroid Pocket 5 is slowly taking shape. Having confirmed the presence of a 5.5-inch and 1080p AMOLED display last week, Retroid has now revealed that the Pocket 5 will challenge the established order with a decent-sized battery and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 chipset.

This device is a slap in the face when it comes to any of it.  Retroid has lost all my respect as a company for doing this device as I own almost every Retroid except the Flip and 1 I will not waste a dime on this trash.  They're going back down to a 865 Processor which is almost 5 years and multiple processors lower than what we have today.  Android 10 which lacks compatibility for some of today's modern games or emulators.  6GB of what will turn into 4GB ish of RAM, 128GB of internal storage meaning let's buy another 256-512GB of storage so we can actually installing games.  The only thing it has going for it is the OLED display, Retroid screwed up majorly imo and I'm done with that company.
