Retroid added a new configuration to the Pocket 6 handheld gaming device. The company now offers a model with more system memory but less internal storage than the previous version.
New model swaps larger drive for enhanced memory at same price point
The revised Pocket 6 maintains its original form factor but alters internal component specifications. This model features an upgrade to 12GB of system memory compared to earlier configurations. This configuration benefits players requiring enhanced performance for demanding retro games and background tasks.
This configuration pairs the larger memory pool with a smaller internal drive. The device ships with 128GB of UFS 3.1 flash storage instead of the earlier option that offered 256GB. Storage expansion remains possible via external memory cards for additional content.
The new model arrives in three color options: Silver, a special 16Bit edition, and Black. The company keeps the price steady at $279 USD compared to the previous configuration that carried the same cost point despite having different storage amounts. Buyers must order directly through Retroid's official website since distribution channels remain limited.
Earlier versions offered larger internal storage options for users preferring built-in capacity over expandable media. This update prioritizes improved processing power over increased internal storage space.
The company confirms that only the 12GB RAM paired with 128GB UFS 3.1 storage configuration is available in these three colors. Other hardware features and display characteristics stay consistent with prior models.
