I loved my retroid 3+ while it lasted. Unfortunately, it lasted only for a year before parts started breaking. They also stopped selling replacement parts by that point, and no one could find the ones needed to fix my device. Not sure why retroid keeps getting more expensive with each release if they're still using the same quality of parts, but I'm never buying from them again.

I was looking at this device, but if it's overall the same company, I'm definitely out. My 3DS just recently succumbed to the hinge issue, so I don't doubt something with cheaper parts will succumb to the same issue much quicker.

Yep I still have my hylian shield 2dsxl hacked and going strong, it's the only 2 screen device I need and I'll just buy another when it dies.

I'm in the same boat with you, my rp5 is working now but we'll see how long it lasts

RP3+ - Wi-Fi dead, retroid refuses to replace or fix since it's out of warranty (1yr)

Original flip - straight up does not turn on anymore. retroid refuses to replace or fix since it's out of warranty (1yr)

Classic 6 - does not fast charge as advertised and fan is super loud. Let retroid know immediately upon receipt, they confirmed the issue, then strung me along for 6 months until I opened a chargeback.

Just such a shitshow
