### Double the Screens, Double the Fun
If you’ve been dreaming of a modern-day DS, Retroid just made those dreams a lot more tangible. The company has officially pulled the curtain back on its first dual-screen handhelds: the Pocket Duo and the budget-friendly Pocket Duo Lite.
The flagship Pocket Duo is clearly aiming for the heavy hitters. It features dual 120Hz displays (a 16:9 top screen and a 4:3 bottom screen) and is powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-7790. For the retro enthusiasts, the “D-pad top” layout is a welcome throwback to classic ergonomics.
Not looking to break the bank? The Duo Lite is the “entry-level” sibling. While it swaps the high-end chip for a more modest Dragonwing QCS6125 and drops the refresh rate to 60Hz, early gameplay demos suggest it can still handle emulation like Mario Kart without breaking a sweat.
The Quick Deets:
- Pocket Duo: $249 (with code DUO) — Shipping mid-October.
- Pocket Duo Lite: Starting at $135 (with code DUOLITE) — Shipping Sept 17.
