Retroid Enters Dual-Screen Handheld Market
Retroid has announced its new dual-screen handheld device, the Pocket Duo. This device is intended to offer a modern interpretation of the Nintendo DS, joining a growing trend of dual-screen retro handhelds. The company provided minimal details in its teaser video, focusing primarily on the device's name and form factor.
Design and Potential Features
The teaser video offered a dark glimpse of the Pocket Duo, indicating a cable-free and clip-free dual-screen design, distinguishing it from Retroid's existing Dual Screen Add-on accessory. While no specifications were revealed, Retroid's experience with devices like the Pocket Nova, which uses a Qualcomm QCS8550 chip capable of emulating Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Switch titles, suggests potential internal capabilities for the Pocket Duo.
Market Positioning and Competition
The Pocket Duo is expected to compete with other dual-screen handhelds such as the Ayn Thor. Given its dual-screen configuration, the Pocket Duo is likely to be priced higher than Retroid's single-screen Pocket Nova, which starts at $239. The pricing is anticipated to fall between the Anbernic RG DS (starting at $100) and the Ayaneo Pocket DS (starting at $579).
