Display Specifications
The company has confirmed the display specs for the Pocket Classic, which we have included below. The device will feature a 3.92-inch AMOLED screen that has a resolution of 1,240 x 1,080 pixels and an effective aspect ratio of 5:4 (1.15:1). In comparison, the Analogue Pocket, currently priced at $320 on Amazon, comes with a 3.5-inch LCD that offers a higher resolution of 1,600 x 1,440 pixels and a 1.11:1 aspect ratio.
Brightness Capabilities
Additionally, the Pocket Classic is designed to reach a brightness level of 500 nits, outperforming the Pocket DMG’s 400 nits. This gives the Pocket Classic a 25% edge in brightness, although Analogue does not provide peak brightness figures for the Pocket on its website.
While Retroid currently associates these specifications specifically with the six-button ‘Classic 6’ variant, we believe they will likely apply to all models. As for other features of the Pocket Classic, we still don’t have much information; however, it wouldn’t be surprising if Retroid includes the same Dimensity 1100 and Snapdragon 865 chipsets that are found in the Pocket Flip 2.
