Retroid Pocket 2S is a gaming handheld launched in 2023. Powered by Tiger T610 (8-core, 2.0 GHz), 3 GB RAM. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD Touchscreen display (640 x 480). 4000 mAh battery. WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0. Runs Android.
In practice this covers everything from 8-bit and 16-bit classics, arcade boards and home computers up to N64, PSP and Dreamcast, which run almost entirely at full speed. Some GameCube titles are playable, while PS2 is barely playable and limited to the easier-to-emulate games, so it is best treated as a bonus rather than a main reason to buy.
The 3.5-inch IPS touchscreen runs at 640 x 480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio, 60 Hz and roughly 229 ppi. The OCA-laminated tempered glass lens keeps the image crisp, and the 4:3 format is a natural fit for most retro systems, although widescreen content will be letterboxed.
Controls include an upper-placed cross D-pad, four face buttons, symmetric dual Hall Effect thumbsticks with L3/R3, L1/R1 shoulders and analog L2/R2 triggers. Home, Back, a programmable button and dedicated volume buttons round out the layout. Dual stereo speakers face the front, and the shell comes in plastic or aluminum.
The 4000 mAh battery charges over USB-C on the top edge, right next to a micro HDMI output for playing on a TV. The 3.5 mm headphone jack sits on the bottom, while wireless connectivity covers WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. Storage is 32 GB or 128 GB of eMMC, expandable via microSD.
Android 11 gives access to standalone emulators and Android apps, and modding is permitted. The lack of Linux support, however, may disappoint those who prefer dedicated alternative firmware.
Ideal for: players who want a compact, affordable handheld for retro gaming up to N64, PSP and Dreamcast, with modern controls and a touchscreen.
