GoRetroid, the company behind popular retro gaming handhelds like the Original Retroid Pocket, has unveiled more details about its upcoming product: the Retroid Pocket Classic.

Key highlights include:

  • Processor: Qualcomm 4nm chipset
  • Battery Life: 5,000 mAh
  • Memory: 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage
  • Wireless Capabilities: Bluetooth 5.0 and WiFi 5
  • Dimensions: 138mm x 89mm x 8.26mm

The handheld is powered by Android 14, and will feature an AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1240x1080, capable of reaching up to 500 nits in brightness.

One standout feature is the inclusion of a six-button variant, allowing for more games that traditionally required six buttons, especially from systems like the Sega Saturn. There's also a traditional 4-button layout.

Further updates on pricing and availability are expected.


Have you been longing for a six-button layout on your retro handheld?
