Retroid Posts Update and Resolution for Pocket Mini Display Issues
Retroid has clarified ongoing display issues affecting the Pocket Mini by confirming that the problems with shaders rendering incorrectly is a 'behaviour of the screen', rather than a software issue, resulting in filters and scan lines appearing distorted and uneven. The company initially aimed to resolve this through collaboration with Qualcomm, but now acknowledges the hardware limitation, necessitating an adjustment to return policies for users dissatisfied with their devices. This development marks a shift from software-based solutions to acknowledging the underlying hardware capabilities of the Pocket Mini.
