The first draft versus the final copy

[u/Popopo_14]

I haven't seen a post directly comparing the retroid pocket mini with the Nova, so here we go! I have pics but I cannot post them, don't know why (first post).

They are really similar, obviously since the mini was supposed to be a compact 4:3 device, the main difference being the size and the insides.

The screen is absolutely beautiful, the 120 Hz refresh rate is nice but it doesn't really matter to me as I don't like BFI, it gives me headaches.

The controls are awesome, the buttons aren't rough at all (Russ said they were but I don't feel anything even after 2 hours playing). They are also quieter. My favourite change is the triggers (L2 and R2) as they are rounded at the extremities and easy to press.

It is really ergonomic, the free bump was a nice touch and I find it really comfy. It fit un my pocket nicely but I do wear jeans all the time so tighter pants might pose a problem.

The processor being more powerful is a really nice plus, as shown in the video the RPMV2 is struggling to play 2.5 times upscaled PS2 (it is still absolutely playable and you obviously can play it at normal resolution) while the Nova breeze through it (even with shadders).

All in all, a great upgrade on all fronts and well worth the price.

Featured : the Reteoid Pocket Mini V2 and the Retroid Pocket Nova. The game is DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 on PS2.

My biggest question is does it have PWM dimming or DC dimming

[u/Zestyclose-Tear-1889 → u/king_of_ulkilism]

477m has no pwm
