We already have available the new Retroid Pocket 4pro Android console that surprises us with the inclusion of a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 1100 processor.
A Mediatek processor with which we can move a lot of emulators without problems, even those of the PS2. A very powerful chip that this time comes with a small fan to ensure proper cooling for maximum performance. The operating system is Android 13, with updates via OTA, so in addition to emulators we can install all kinds of games from the Play Store.
A very interesting laptop for the power it has, as it allows moving systems like PS2, something that was not within reach of these types of Chinese consoles. Naturally for the hardware that mounts its price is quite high, although it will surely drop substantially in a short time.
