TL;DR

• Retroid has revealed the Pocket Duo and Pocket Duo Lite.
• Both handhelds will come with a 6,000mAh battery.
• The Pocket Duo will cost $269, while the Duo Lite will start at $149.

Earlier this week, Retroid released the first teaser for its next Android-powered handheld. At the time, we only knew that it was called the Pocket Duo and that it would have two screens, like a Nintendo 3DS. Since then, Retroid has provided more details, including specs, models, and pricing.

As the company revealed, the Retroid Pocket Duo will actually come in two forms: the Pocket Duo and Pocket Duo Lite. Design-wise, the two handhelds will look similar, but there are a couple of differences. One is that the secondary display on the Duo is slightly larger than that on the Duo Lite. The other difference is the layout of the L1/L2 and R1/R2 buttons. These buttons are laid out horizontally on the Duo Lite, while L1 and R1 are on top of L2 and R2 on the Duo.
