Retroid Pocket 6 Brings Snapdragon & 120Hz OLED To The Retro Handheld Gaming Party

Retroid is making waves in the handheld gaming space—a year after the September release of the Retroid Pocket 5, Retroid is following up with both a proper Retroid Pocket 6 and a Retroid Pocket G2, the latter of which serves as a souped-up refresh of Pocket 5 with the same external shell. Both handhelds are targeting a similar $200-$300 USD price point, but the Pocket 6 is more powerful and slightly more expensive, with its 1080p AMOLED display reaching up to 120 Hz instead of just 60 Hz and its internals leveraging a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The Pocket G2 will be powered by the Snapdragon G2 Gen 2.
