The Retroid Pocket 3+ is a handheld game console with a 4.7 inch display, built-in game controllers and software based on Android 11. In other words, it looks an awful lot like the Retroid Pocket 3 that launched this summer.
But the new model earns the plus in its name in a few ways. It has a higher-performance processor and graphics, more memory and storage, and a bigger battery. It also costs a little more. The Retroid Pocket 3+ is expected to go up for pre-order this week for $149.
The new model ships standard with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, has a Unisoc T618 octa-core processor with ARM Mali-G52 MC2 graphics, and sports a 4,500 mAh battery.
It will be available in eight different color options, and customers who already own a Retroid Pocket 3 can save $25 by using the coupon RP3OWNER at checkout… if you want to upgrade just a few months after buying a very similar device.
Here’s a comparison of key specs for the two different models:

Both models also feature stereo 2W speakers, support for 720p video output over HDMI, and fanless designs.
Two specs that I’m a little suspicious of though, are the size and weight. Considering the larger battery in the new model, it seems like the Retroid Pocket 3+ should be a little larger and/or heavier. But the specs listed on the Retroid website suggest that it’s not.
