Retroid Pocket 3 Plus is a gaming handheld launched in 2022. Powered by Tiger T618 (8-core, 2.0 GHz), 4 GB RAM. Features a 4.7" IPS LCD Touchscreen display (1334 x 750). 4500 mAh battery. WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0. Runs Android.
When it comes to emulation, classic systems from Atari, NES, SNES and Mega Drive up to Game Boy Advance and PlayStation run without trouble. N64, PSP and Dreamcast are almost all full speed, some GameCube games are playable, while PS2 is barely playable and only for easier-to-emulate titles. The platform list also covers arcade via MAME, Final Burn Neo and Capcom Play System, Neo Geo, Amiga, Commodore 64, MS-DOS and ScummVM.
The 4.7-inch IPS touchscreen runs at 1334 x 750 in a 16:9 format, with roughly 326 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. It sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass for a clean, punchy image.
Controls include symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3, a separated PS Vita-style D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons and vertically oriented L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons, plus dedicated Home, power and volume buttons. A gyroscope, rumble and microphone broaden what it can do, and the sticks are compatible with Hall sensor replacements. The plastic and aluminum body measures 184.65 x 81.38 x 24.23 mm and weighs 230 g, with ventilation cutouts for cooling.
The 4500 mAh battery charges over USB-C. Connectivity includes WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, a Micro HDMI video output for TV play, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and bottom-facing dual stereo speakers.
Android 11 lets you freely install your favorite emulators and frontends, and the permissive modding policy leaves plenty of room for tinkering and customization.
Ideal for: players who want a compact Android handheld for N64, PSP and Dreamcast, with a sharp touchscreen and the option to play on a TV.
