Retroid Pocket 6 vs AYN Thor Pro for my birthday which one would you pick?
My birthday is coming up and I’ve decided to treat myself to a new handheld, but I’m stuck between the Retroid Pocket 6 (12GB) and the AYN Thor Pro.
The RP6 is around $279, while the Thor Pro is considerably more expensive. I can afford either one, but I’m trying to figure out if the Thor Pro is actually worth paying the extra money for.
I already own a Lenovo Legion Go, Nintendo Switch, R36S, TrimUI Smart Pro, and an Anbernic RG SP is on the way, so this would mainly be another handheld for emulation and Android gaming rather than my only gaming device.
One thing making the decision harder is that I really like the dual-screen idea of the Thor, especially for DS/3DS emulation, but the RP6 also has the optional second-screen accessory, so technically I could get a similar setup later.
For people who have used either (or ideally both):
Is the Thor Pro actually worth the price difference?
How big is the difference in performance and overall experience?
Which one is more comfortable for longer sessions?
How good is the RP6 with the second-screen accessory compared to the Thor?
If you already had a Legion Go, which one would make more sense as a smaller handheld?
If it were your birthday money, RP6 12GB or Thor Pro? 🎮
