The handheld will be available in two different models and four colourways:
- Ice Blue
- Black
- GC (an obvious nod to the Nintendo GameCube)
- 16-Bit US (a reference to the Super Nintendo’s US design)
There are two separate models, each featuring a different SoC:
- First model: Snapdragon 865 SoC (from the Retroid Pocket Mini and Pocket 5)
- Second model: MediaTek D1100 SoC (from the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro)
Both models share the following specs:
- A 5.5” 1080p AMOLED screen
- 8GB Low Power DDR4X RAM
- 128 GB Universal Flash Storage
- Android 13 OS
However, differences exist:
- The Snapdragon SoC model offers faster charging speed
- The D1100 SoC model uses a newer version of Bluetooth
GoRetroid has stated that pricing details and pre-order dates will be announced soon.
What do you think of these specs?
I know Retroid are kind of the more “affordable” option, but after my RP3+ broke from just regular use and cheap parts, and them not helping me because of discontinued support for the device, I don’t really want to spend more money on them. At this point I’d probably rather save for a steamdeck, despite it being huge and clunky. Retroids recent items are just ugly as well, IMO.
