Miniloong has introduced four new color options for its Pocket 1 retro handheld, but global buyers should expect limited access to these aesthetic updates. The manufacturer released official visuals for the new designs and opened pre-orders for one specific variant, signaling a shift in the device's market availability. This matters because the new colors appear to be restricted to the China market, which could force international enthusiasts to pay higher import costs or wait indefinitely for a global release.
New black and dual-tone designs arrive with late July delivery for the 8GB model
The Pocket 1 is a compact gaming device that runs a fork of the ROCKNIX operating system. It features a 4-inch 720p LCD screen and comes equipped with 8GB of RAM for handling retro emulation tasks. The new colorways include an all-black model and three dual-toned versions that add red, blue, and orange accents to the chassis.
- Screen Size: 4 inches
- Screen Resolution: 720p
- RAM: 8GB
- OS: ROCKNIX fork
- New Colors: All-black, Black/Orange, Black/Blue, Black/Red
The all-black variant is currently available for pre-order on AliExpress. This specific 8GB model is priced at 110 USD. The manufacturer has set an expected delivery date of late July for customers who secure a unit through this channel. Other color options remain unpriced and unconfirmed for purchase outside of this initial batch.
Most of the new colorways seem to be locked to the China market only. The source material does not specify if these designs will be sold globally or when they might become available to international buyers. This geographic restriction leaves global users with limited options to acquire the new aesthetic updates without dealing with cross-border shipping.
When we covered the last Miniloong Pocket 1 update, several of the same balance and stability themes came up. The current release focuses purely on cosmetic changes rather than hardware or performance improvements. The confirmed facts are that the black 8GB model is available for pre-order at 110 USD with late July delivery, while other colors remain region-locked to China.
