New Color Options for Retroid Pocket 5
Since it came out in 2024, the Retroid Pocket 5 is getting some fresh new colors, as it just got released in a couple of options are Yellow and Turquoise. These new shades are inspired by the Pocket G2 which was a kinda similar handheld, but with a newer processor. But here’s what’s wild – the Pocket G2 was discontinued by March 2026, less than six months after it was launched. So, now retroid has cleverly used the shells from G2 for the Pocket 5, which still shares the same basic design but in a whole new way.
Availability and Accessories
- The new colors are now available totally on the retroid website, costing the same $199. Drop some cash on their official Pocket 5 Grip case too, which matches these new colors and costs just $15.
- For those who want to change up their device’s style, retroid also offers “clear” backplates in Ice Blue, Ice Green, Crystal, and Black. These are perfect if you already own a Pocket 5 but wanna give it a fresh look without buying a whole new device.
Specifications and Features Review
The Pocket 5 continues to impress with a large 5.5-inch AMOLED display that offers vibrant visuals, though it refreshes at only 60Hz. When it was released, it featured a Snapdragon 865 processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which fans say is enough to run most Android apps smoothly. The device runs Android 13 straight out the box, and packs a hefty 5,000mAh battery for extended playtime.
Enhanced Gaming Experience
This handheld has some really cool features like Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and a cooling fan to keep things from overheating. Plus, it boasts Hall Effect thumbsticks and analog triggers, which makes gaming much more precise and comfortable. At a slightly higher price of around $249, you get a powerhouse device designed for serious portable gaming. The new color options just add even more personality, letting gamers express their style while still enjoying top-notch hardware.
