I’ve been using Android phones and tablets for as long as I’ve been buying smart devices.<\/p>\n

The lure of Apple’s ecosystem never really tempted me, and as such, I’ve been an Android faithful for almost as long as smartphones have existed.<\/p>\n

Phones, tablets, and even e-readers, I felt like I’d used Android on almost everything, and nothing could surprise me.<\/p>\n

But then, I spontaneously bought the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro<\/span>, and it was, quite simply, the best Android device I’ve bought in years. <\/p>\n

Yes, better than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/span>, the Google Pixel 10 Pro<\/span>, and the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus<\/span>. If you’re a gamer and interested in emulation, you need a device like this. <\/p>\n
