Retroid Pocket 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Retroid Pocket 5<\/a> is a great option for anyone looking for a sleek Android gaming handheld with a premium feel and plenty of performance for retro gaming, emulation and native Android titles. It features a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a sharp 1920×1080 resolution at 60Hz, giving you vibrant colours, deep contrast and a noticeably more refined look than many handhelds in the same category. <\/p>\n\n\n

It is also a nicely balanced handheld in terms of size and portability, measuring around 19.9 x 7.85 x 1.56 cm and weighing approximately 280g. Alongside the strong core specs, you also get Android 13, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1<\/a>, active cooling, hall effect sticks, analogue L2\/R2 triggers and a 5000mAh battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retroid Pocket Flip 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who prefer something a little different, the Retroid Pocket Flip 2<\/a> brings very similar hardware in a compact clamshell design. The Snapdragon 865 model features a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with 1080p resolution, the same Adreno 650<\/a> GPU, 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1<\/a> storage, again with microSD expansion. It also runs Android 13<\/a> and includes Wi-Fi 6<\/a>, Bluetooth 5.1, active cooling, hall sticks, analogue triggers and a 5000mAh battery, making it a strong all-rounder for gaming on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n

The standout feature here is of course the folding design, which gives the Retroid Pocket Flip 2<\/a> a more compact shape when closed and helps protect the screen when travelling. It measures around 140.5 x 89.5 x 24.4 to 31 mm and weighs roughly 300g, so it stays very portable while still offering a comfortable gaming experience once opened up.<\/p>\n\n\n
