Review: Very very good - Ok.. So the good. It feels good in my hands Everything works perfect Came with a screen protector and sd 128gb Buttons and joysticks work excellent no lag Plays up till GameCube all titles with frame rates ranging from 33-65 fps Effortlessly plays games from 1970 -2005 ish Ps2 works but only about 30% of the library.. Heavy games slow way down. But it can easily play dark cloud which is a 3d game But it can't really play rogues galaxy by level 5 games it's way to heavy Can easily emulate psp and the psp library on the sd card is ACTUALLY decent Most of the games I wanted for that console were already curated for the most part The bad You'll want to pretty much delete 90% of what's on the sd card most of it is junk. But it's better to curate your own library of games Can only play some ps2 It's not powerful enough to play super heavy games on ps2 it will drop to 17 fps Can play some Wii but it's rough on a lot of titles Overall opinion... for the price... It's so good 😊 I love GameCube games This thing plays legend of Zelda twilight princess on GameCube effortlessly 55-65 fps Review: Great retro handheld - I love this handheld. It works pretty flawless on systems up to N64 and PSP. Everything below it (PS1, Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, and everything else) work perfectly. The only game that seemed to lag a little was Killer Instinct for N64 since that's the most processor demanding game. The controls on it feel fantastic and are super responsive. I've owned a lot of emulator handhelds like this over the years and the biggest issue is normally the controller. The only negative is trying to use the analog sticks with the shoulder buttons. You need some pretty long fingers (which I have) and it's still challenging to hold. You wont have any issue with D-pad games at all. I found a 3D printed controller grip on Etsy that gives nice contoured handles sort of like a PS2 controller. It's definitely worth it and makes using the analog sticks much easier. For a front end loader, I recommend downloading Daijisho. It automatically pulls in all the artwork for every game once you set it up and gives the whole thing a nice appearance. You can download it for free on the Google Play store. There's some treat Daijisho setup videos on Youtube. ## Features - [ RG505 Retro Game Handheld Game Console ]: Android handheld game console!

Updated March 28,2023 *by G***I on January 26, 2023* UPDATE March 28,2023: Currently my game goes black when I try to unlock the screen to play it. I haven’t been able to turn it off in over a week. I’ve spent so much money on this item to have it break down in me in less than six months after purchasing. And no, I have done nothing to the game for it to act this way. I haven’t dropped it nor have I wasted anything on it. I always keep it in its game case when I’m not playing it. I want my money back so bad but I can’t because the date for a return has closed. Im disappointed and I will not be buying anything else from this brand again. I should’ve stuck to my gut and bought the actual handheld I wanted, the Ayn Odin.. The game itself is cool, my problem lie with the screen. When you’re in between the games loading and there’s a black screen, you can see water stains on the screen like it was water damaged, but not so much that you can see it when you’re playing a game at full color and/or brightness.. oh and I was suppose to get this with affirm through Amazon.. I was lied to and now affirm isn’t even on the app anymore.. do better. UPDATE: the speakers have stopped working.. UPDATE: November 21,2024: the volume stopped working a couple months ago.. so there’s that.. 😑 ## Frequently Bought Together - RG505 Retro Game Handheld Game Console 4.95’’ OLED Touch Screen with Android 12 System Unisoc Tiger T618 and Compatible with Google Play Store Built-in 128G TF Card - WERJIA Hard Carrying Case for RG505/RG552 Retro Game Handheld Game Console (For RG505 Case) - SAMSUNG EVO Select Micro SD-Memory-Card + Adapter, 256GB microSDXC 130MB/s Full HD & 4K UHD, UHS-I, U3, A2, V30, Expanded Storage for Android Smartphones, Tablets, Nintendo-Switch (MB-ME256KA/AM) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/492563431-rg505-retro-game-handheld-game-console-4-95-oled-touch](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/492563431-rg505-retro-game-handheld-game-console-4-95-oled-touch) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
