About Retroid
Retroid is one of the most influential brands in modern Android-based handheld gaming. Known for combining powerful mobile chipsets with enthusiast-focused design, Retroid has carved out a loyal following among gamers who want serious performance, deep customisation, and full Android flexibility in a compact handheld console.
Rather than limiting users to locked-down firmware, Retroid embraces an open Android ecosystem — giving players complete control over emulation, apps, streaming services, and system customisation.
A Line-Up Built for Power and Progress
Retroid continues to evolve its hardware with each generation, delivering meaningful performance upgrades rather than cosmetic refreshes. From compact budget-friendly handhelds to high-end performance machines, the Retroid range caters to both newcomers and advanced users.
Popular and current Retroid models include:
-
Retroid Pocket Flip 2 – A modern clamshell handheld offering portability with upgraded internals and improved thermals
-
Retroid Pocket 5 – A premium OLED-based handheld designed for high-performance Android gaming and advanced emulation
-
Retroid Pocket 6 – The newest generation in the Retroid lineup, pushing even further into flagship-tier performance
Alongside these, earlier favourites such as the Retroid Pocket 3+, Pocket 4, and Pocket 4 Pro remain popular among gamers upgrading from entry-level retro handhelds.
Android Gaming Without Limits
Every Retroid console runs Android, opening the door to:
-
Custom emulator installs
-
Android-native games
-
Cloud and remote-play services
-
Streaming apps and media playback
-
Custom launchers, overlays, and performance tuning
This makes Retroid handhelds ideal for tinkerers, performance-focused users, and gamers who want a device that can evolve alongside their needs.
Important Note About Games
Retroid handheld consoles do NOT come with games pre-installed.
This is by design and ensures full compliance with platform guidelines. Users are free to install their own legally obtained games, emulators, and Android apps. Pocket Games can provide setup guidance and support to help you get started quickly and smoothly.
