Retroid has released a teaser of the Pocket 2S Gunmetal Edition which comes in a metal housing but retains the specs of the standard model. Retroid released the Pocket 2S gaming handheld standard model in July this year.
The Retroid Pocket 2S compact gaming
handheld was released in six color options and the new metal version is another
addition. The design of the Pocket 2S draws inspiration from the classic
Nintendo model. Currently, resellers are retailing the metal custom shells of
the Pocket 2S. The Retroid Pocket 2S Metal Edition will likely in available in
a grey colorway.
The Retroid Pocket 2S delivers a
retro-gaming experience in a compact handheld device. The trajectory of the new
variant of the Retroid Pocket 2S could be similar to that of the Pocket 3 Plus
Meta Edition. There are speculations that the Pocket 2S Metal Edition could
have a starting price of US$ 129 for the 3GB/ 32GB RAM/ storage configuration. It
is also speculated that the 4GB/ 128GB model will be priced at around US$ 149. The
release date for the Retroid Pocket 2S Metal Edition has not been stated at
this time.
There is currently an array of third-party
metal shells for the Retroid Pocket 2S in more colors than originally released.
We doubt if there are any other differences between the Pocket 2S and Pocket 2S
Metal Edition aside from the metal build. We’ll find out about that when it is
officially released. There is no word yet on the exact launch date.
