We have already had available on AliExpress for days the new retro console with Android Retroid Pocket 3, an evolution of the Retroid Pocket 2+ with a new design and internal improvements.
The Retroid Pocket 3 screen grows to 4.7 inches, and we now have Android 11 as the operating system with access to the APPS store. As a core, the Unisoc T310 processor, a chip that for the moment we have seen in very few tablets and which in general allows us to run quite a few PSP games, is emulation top. Above here we are already going to have difficulties in most games.
As usual in the retro consoles of this brand, we find a remapping app to get the most out of its controls, among which we have analogue sticks and support for game streaming.
Retroid Pocket 3 Specifications
Inside the Retroid Pocket 3 we find the Unisoc T310 processor as the engine, a Quad Core manufactured in 12nm. A Chip with an ARM Cortex-A75 processor capable of reaching 2.0 GHz and a second group with 3 ARM Cortex-A55 cores that reach 1.8 GHz top speed. For the graphic section, we have a PowerVR GE8300 GPU.
We also have 2/3 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 32 GB of eMMc storage memory integrated on the board that we can expand up to 256 GB thanks to the micro SD card reader included on the side.
Screen and other features
The screen is a 4.7-inch IPS with a resolution of 750×1334 pixels (16:9) and a maximum brightness of 450 nits. We also have dual-band Wi-Fi AC connectivity and Bluetooth 5.0 LE. We have a 4000 mAh battery that will give us about 7 hours of use, a pair of 2W speakers each and a front microphone.
In terms of connectivity, we find a micro HDMI video output, a 3.5 mm audio jack and a USB Type-C OTG port for data and recharging the internal battery.
