Retroid Pocket Duo pre-orders are now shipping in all 5 colors

Nov 11, 2026 — 1:41 PM ET

- All five color options of the Retroid Pocket Duo are now shipping.

- Orders for the Pocket Duo Lite Plus have not shipped yet.

A couple of months back, Retroid teased a new dual-screen Android handheld called the Pocket Duo. Only a few days later, Retroid revealed the models, specs, and pricing. The Nintendo 3DS-like device was scheduled to start shipping on October 21, but it ended up missing that date. But there’s some good news for those who have been waiting for their order.

Retroid has updated its delivery dashboard, which is used to indicate which pre-orders have already shipped. According to the table, all five color options for the Pocket Duo have started shipping.

The Clear Purple version started shipping first on November 2, followed by Ice Blue on November 5. The 16Bit and GC options went on the move on November 9 and 10, respectively. And Black is last out of the gate, with shipments starting today.

Those who submitted pre-orders of the Pocket Duo when they opened up in September should get their handheld within the next few weeks. Meanwhile, those who pre-ordered the cheaper Pocket Duo Lite Plus will have to continue waiting. Retroid has yet to start shipping any of these handhelds. As a brief reminder, the Lite Plus offers the same performance as the Duo, but substitutes the AMOLED displays with cheaper LCD screens.

As for the Pocket Duo Lite, a less powerful alternative, those pre-orders have already shipped.
