He Retroid pocket 5 and Pocket Flip 2 They don’t have the latest and greatest specs, but they will still be capable Android wearables in 2026. Now, the company has revealed good news for buyers.
Retroid announced on Discord which has run out of 8GB/128GB Pocket 5 and Pocket Flip 2 units. As a result, the company will automatically upgrade all unfulfilled orders to the 12GB/128GB models at no additional cost.
That’s great news for buyers, and there’s more good news if you want to get involved. Retroid confirmed that any new orders of the Pocket 5 and Flip 2 will also receive the 12GB/128GB option, apparently at the same price as the 8GB/128GB model. The Pocket 5 has an MSRP of $219 but is currently on sale for $199. Meanwhile, the Pocket Flip 2 has a recommended price of $229 and a retail price of $209.
However, this promotion won’t last forever. Starting July 15, 12GB/128GB variants will replace the 8GB/128GB models as the standard configurations of the Pocket 5 and Flip 2. This will be accompanied by a $10 price increase.
While it’s never good to see a price increase, this is a ridiculously small increase for the amount of extra RAM you get. This also comes after Retroid and other brands were instituted. significant price increases I degraded specifications after the AMR crisis. So I definitely recommend taking advantage of this if you’re considering one of these handhelds in the first place.
