Introducing the Retroid Pocket Mini
The exciting world of handheld gaming just became a bit more complicated with the announcement of the Retroid Pocket Mini. Sporting an AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 960 packed into a petite 3.7-inch screen, it promises visual pleasure in a pocket-sized package. However, for many users, the experience has been less than stellar due to some vexing scaling issues.
What Went Wrong?
The scaling issue has resulted from the device expanding a 1280 x 928 image to fit the native resolution, a discrepancy that may seem minor at first glance. Yet, for the gaming connoisseurs who adore CRT filters, this glitch has turned gaming sessions into an exercise in frustration. Many customers have expressed their grievances, forcing Retroid to acknowledge the problem.
The Retroid Response and Options for Customers
In a recent statement, Retroid was candid in saying this issue isn’t something that can be fixed with a quick software patch; it requires hardware-level revisions for future versions. Luckily for current owners, there’s a silver lining—Retroid is offering a $10 discount coupon for future purchases and a full refund option for those who would rather not deal with the scaling debacle. However, be warned: the return window closes on March 14th, and although returns were previously capped at 200 units, the latest update from Retroid places no such limit. So, if your gaming experience has been marred by these scaling woes, now’s the time to act!
