2. It is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery and a Qualcomm 4 nm chipset, though specific chipset details have not been confirmed.
3. The device will have 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 flash storage, along with an active cooling solution.
4. The dimensions of the Pocket Classic are 138 x 89.8 x 26 mm, and it weighs 223 g.
5. It supports Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 5, and runs on Android 14 out of the box.

Retroid has disclosed additional details regarding the Pocket Classic, following their announcement about the device’s display last week. To summarize, the company had previously indicated that the Pocket Classic will be equipped with a 3.92-inch display that offers a resolution of 1,240 x 1,080 pixels, featuring an effective aspect ratio of 5:4 (1.15:1) and achieving a peak brightness of 500 nits.

Battery and Chipset

Retroid is set to pair this AMOLED display with a robust 5,000 mAh battery along with a ‘Qualcomm 4 nm’ chipset. While this term could refer to several recent Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets, it notably does not include the Snapdragon 865, which will power the Retroid Pocket Flip 2. For instance, Retroid could opt for any Snapdragon 7 or 8 series chipsets launched in the last three years, and they might even consider the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3.

Memory and Size

The Retroid Pocket Classic is also going to have 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM operating at 2,133 MT/s, paired with 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 flash storage and an active cooling solution. Retroid has confirmed that the dimensions of the Pocket Classic are 138 x 89.8 x 26 mm and it weighs 223 g, making it roughly equivalent in size to the Anbernic RG40XX V (currently priced at $79.99 on Amazon). Moreover, Retroid’s upcoming vertical gaming handheld will support Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 5 connectivity, which sets it apart from the RG40XX V, and will come with Android 14 as its operating system right out of the box.
