  • The Retroid Pocket Mini V2 is now available for purchase.
  • It features a new AMOLED screen without the resolution issues of the initial release.
  • It costs $199 and ships this week, with a $10 discount for a limited time.

Retroid’s latest Pocket Flip 2 and Pocket Classic handhelds might be getting all the attention, but its previous release is still a fan favorite for anyone looking for a truly pocketable retro gaming handheld. The Retroid Pocket Mini is a pint-sized powerhouse, and after being taken off the market for screen issues, it’s now available to order once again.

The Pocket Mini V2 differs slightly from the original device, with a new 3.92-inch AMOLED display. This is the same display as the vertical display on the Pocket Classic and AYANEO Pocket DMG, but turned on its side. Apart from that, it has the same Snapdragon 865, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage, 4,000mAh battery, and twin Hall-effect sticks.
