Retroid Pocket Duo with two 120 Hz AMOLED touchscreens is finally shipping

The Retroid Pocket Duo was originally announced in mid-September, with shipping initially scheduled to begin on October 21. That didn't quite work out, but Retroid Pocket finally began shipping the first variant of the handheld in early November, and all five colors are shipping as of today, as the official Delivery Dashboard shows. Those who preordered the gaming handheld as soon as preorders opened on September 12 can expect delivery within the next few weeks.
Those who only placed their orders in late September or October, however, will have to wait a little longer for delivery. The Delivery Dashboard is to be updated regularly to indicate the order date up to which preorders for the gaming handheld have already shipped. The cheaper Retroid Pocket Duo Lite Plus, which combines the same performance with less expensive LCDs, is not yet shipping, but all preorders for the less powerful Retroid Pocket Duo Lite are reportedly already shipped.
Even though several competitors to the Retroid Pocket Duo are already available, including models such as the AYN Thor or the Anbernic RG DDS, the Retroid Pocket handheld stands out primarily for its particularly high-quality displays. The manufacturer equips it with a 5.5-inch main display and a 4.5-inch secondary display, each featuring a 120 Hz AMOLED panel. With a Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-7790, the handheld offers enough performance to emulate games originally released for the Nintendo 3DS. More details about the Retroid Pocket Duo can be found on the official product page.
