ORIGINAL STORY: After a few days of teasing, Retroid have unveiled not one but two handhelds in the Retroid Pocket Duo and Retroid Pocket Duo Lite.
The Retroid Pocket Duo has dual 120hz OLED displays whilst the Duo Lite has dual 60hz LCD displays, with both having a top 5.5-inch display, and the Duo having a 4.5-inch bottom display with the Duo Lite having a 4.2-inch display.
Both handhelds have slightly different shoulder buttons, and totally different processors with the Pocket Duo having a Qualcomm Q-7790 processor with Android 16, and the Duo Lite having a Qualcomm QCS6125 processor with Android 15, with both being capable of DS/3DS emulation.
We don’t yet have pricing but obviously the Duo Lite should come in a lot cheaper given the chipset and LCD displays.
Both handhelds will be available in Black, GC, 16bit for the transparent fans, it’ll also come in Ice Blue and Clear purple .
