The retro gaming performance you came for is still here.
I recommend the Anbernic RG405M instead
The RG405M runs the same UNISOC T618 chip as the Retroid Pocket 3+ — in my hands-on testing, the two perform identically, game for game. It arrives with every platform configured and ready to play, brand-name storage, and the Lifetime MicroSD Card Guarantee. The honest trade-off: its 4.0-inch panel is 4:3 rather than widescreen — if widescreen is what you are here for, see the RGB10 MAX 2 below.

After a widescreen handheld, or something smaller?
The PowKiddy RGB10 MAX 2 is the widescreen option in today’s range, from £159.90. The BATLEXP G350 is the pocket-friendly pick, from £94.90. And the Anbernic RG DS plays Nintendo DS games across two screens, from £144.90.

The Retroid Pocket 3+ — sold through
The Retroid Pocket 3+ was the widescreen handheld of the K-TEC range: a 4.7-inch 16:9 panel at 325 PPI — the sharpest screen I have stocked — driven by the same UNISOC T618 chip as the RG405M. Where 4:3 devices letterbox widescreen platforms, the RP3+ filled its panel edge to edge, and it was the best PSP handheld in the range — that is the platform to remember it by. It also carried a micro HDMI port for output to a television, and I set it up with the Daijishou launcher in place of the stock RetroidOS software, tuned platform by platform like every device I sell.
The RP3+ sold through in late August, and I am not restocking it — it has retired from the K-TEC range, and there is no stock remaining. If you are weighing up a second-hand unit, my notes on what to look for — and what a factory-fresh import leaves out — are on the retired handhelds page.
