  • I was a fan of the Retroid Pocket 2S design but how does it fare in a full metal shell? Is it worth the added cost over the plastic variant? Lets take a look!

    The screws are stripped on the top edge of my 2s metal also, I think this is unfortunately a common issue. I think they should be using a thread insert as they sell DIY button kits etc and know customers will be removing the backs!

    I have a black RP3+ and removed the vent screen on the back, they look like its molded with the case but Its just a sticker. I noticed the temps didn't get as hot when the screen was on. It reduced temps dramatically.

    i love my retro 16bit plastic 2s I got last week. I am having buyer's remorse towards the metal version. Is it really that beeter than the plastic one? Mine never overheat btw

      I'd keep the plastic one since you already own it. The metal one is nice of course, but the benefit is mostly just better cooling.

    You will have to drill out the stripped screw.

    Gotta be honest I dont like the form factor for the 2s so the metal version costing even more isnt for me. Thanks for the review anyway though 🙂

      I think It's great, It's the budget model for a reason and the 4:3 screen Is great for most older games, I'd consider a RP4 only If i decide to start Android gameing so at this moment the 2S Is all I need.

    이 이상의 성능을 필요로 하지 않는 유저에 한해서, 최고의 기기라고 생각합니다. 가격적 부담이 물론 있지만, 애착 가는 단 하나의 기기에 못 쓸 정도는 아닌 가격이기도 하죠.
