It actually looks ideal. Transparent plastic body, d-pad on top, and a 4.5in 4:3 120Hz OLED.
If I had to gripe I'd wish they'd use clear plastic to match the crystal buttons rather than frosted. But regardless, this looks great. I don't really like any of Retroid's past products, but this is something I'd buy.
Their PR is horrible. The customer isn't wrong to compare price to specs on a level playing field among brands.
They want to convince people that a lack of specs is in itself a feature worth money. That's absurd on the surface, and made worse when you think about how many ways there are to achieve the same result with existing products for far less money.
