Checking your Retroid Pocket 3 Plus & Flip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Setting up your Retroid Pocket 3 Plus & Flip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There may be some charge left in the battery since manufacturing. To ensure nothing shuts down halfway through setting up, we recommend leaving it to fully charge first. While you wait, if you have not already, why not set up your micro SD card and copy some games over it (see the below guide).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have powered on, the Retroid Pocket 3 Plus or Flip will boot into Android 11<\/a> OS and present a startup wizard to get things set up easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the prompts to select the language and WiFi settings. We recommend entering your WiFi settings now as it is a bit faster than going through the Android menus afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n

If required, choose your time zone, and if you wish to have Google Play services installed. We recommend installing this if you want access to the Google Play store for updating and downloading new apps etc.<\/p>\n\n\n

You will next be prompted to pre-install some apps. These include emulators, tools and media players for example. You can select them with the check box on the right of each title, or select them all towards the bottom of the screen. The apps will then install which can take a minute or two to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n

You will next be prompted for the default launcher to use when booting into Android. The RP3+ & Flip launcher does require a bit of setting up first (see the guide below), or you can use the Android launcher which shows any installed apps. You can switch between these afterwards if you wish to.<\/p>\n\n\n
