Retroid has reintroduced its Pocket 6 handheld gaming device with a revised internal configuration. The company previously discontinued the model due to memory shortages but now offers a variant equipped with 12GB of RAM. The release comes as general component shortages continue to affect the wider electronics industry.
Revised hardware configuration includes reduced storage and exclusive stick top design
The new version retains the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and Adreno 740 graphics unit found in earlier models. Retroid pairs this silicon with a reduced storage configuration of 128GB, down from the original 256GB option. It retains the familiar handheld design suited for on-the-go play.
The updated Pocket 6 ships exclusively with a stick top design. Buyers can choose between Silver, 16-bit, and Black color options. Official specifications confirm the listed color options and do not mention other designs or control schemes.
Retroid lists the price at $244.00 for this specific configuration. Earlier versions offered more storage space at varying prices, though no side-by-side pricing details are currently published. Available information does not include testing results, power usage figures, or launch schedules.
Previous models came with 8GB of memory and were available in two storage sizes until manufacturing stopped. Retroid cited memory shortages as the reason for discontinuing the line earlier this year.
Retroid has confirmed the return of the 12GB variant through official channels. The company lists availability on its website but does not specify regional restrictions or shipping timelines in the provided details.
