    I keep coming back to this, even though it's a bit of a chonker. I bought way too many Linux handhelds but nothing really comes close. It charges reliably even with a type C charger, doesn't drain in sleep mode, Bluetooth audio works, plus I can use whatever Android app I need for a bit of extra utility.
    Performance is way better than anything in the $50-$80 range, totally worth the extra over those.
    Also I had no idea vita emulation was good now, guess I'll have to check it out.

    Great video man, quick question, are you running gamma os 1.51? My Rg505 keeps shutting down from overheating in nethersx2 on high performance mode.

      Thanks man, after doing the unbricker and reinstalling gammaos 1.5.1 I found that the issue is gone, although I have the wifi disabled so need to test it with wifi on just in case.

    I bought my RG505 2 weeks ago for just 120 euros.
    I love this thing! especially this brilliant OLED display!
    everything runs perfectly, I can even play ps2, gamecube and switch on it!
    with GammaOS it's just a very cool handheld!
    ps: where did you get these controller buttons (red and blue)

      I really like the 505 and the value with recent pricing makes it a no brainer. The sticks are skull & co. I use them on a lot of different devices in different colors

    My biggest issue with this device is just how generic it looks. Like so style or anything that really sets it apart. No disrespect to anyone who loves this device. It's just not for me. Good video tho. Sorry about the gamma situation

      It’s surprisingly basic that is very true. It works well now and is only about $100 which is why I snagged one to do a video. If I ran correct when it was launched they would have come out with a metal version
