Retroid has announced new color options for its Pocket 5 handheld.
Despite being marketed as new, Retroid appears to be using leftover stock from Pocket G2, which was recently discontinued.
Thankfully, the handheld’s new colors come without any price increase.
The ongoing RAM and storage shortages have affected all electronics-related ventures, but the segment of Android gaming handhelds appears to be among the hardest hit. In recent months, we’ve seen numerous examples of companies making Android handhelds halting production of certain models or completely discontinuing even their best-selling products. One company, however, appears to be making the best use of the circumstances.
Retroid, a leader in the category, recently announced on X that it was bringing new color variants for its Pocket 5 handheld, including yellow and turquoise. These new colors add to the Pocket 5’s existing tally of color options, including black, white, and the two classic options.
