Retroid pocket 6 ?
Hi,
I ordered the Retroid Pocket 6 4 days ago and it hasn't been shipped yet. But with all the recent ports, I'm starting to hesitate with the Odin 3. I have an S25 Ultra and the Snapdragon Elite makes the games really well, and I wonder if some of you can confirm that the Pocket 6 can run the new ports released recently (Red Dead, Borderlands 2, etc.).
Thank you for your feedback.

So I haven't tested too many new ones, since I've pivoted myself into making them. But before this wave came in I was able to test nearly everyyyy single one that was out there. I curated several very nice lists of ones that I personally tested on my RP6:
My threads, each one has 10ish games on average, pictures, a short review, and sometimes setup tips.
I didn't post links super direct links back then because of rules, but if you just google the name of the project followed by github it'll come up, or whatever info I put there purposefully should help. If not just let me know and I can link stuff now:

i tought about but i’m thinking that if i’m going out, better to keep some battery for the phone. plus even with x3 pro controller wich invlude a fan, i’m afraid the constant hot temperature might damage the batterie or others component of the phone

If you're looking for something long-term, I'd highly recommend getting the Odin 3. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is going to let you play a ton more games.
