This Is The Last Time You Can Grab Retroid's Pocket Classic Handheld For $69

Retroid Pocket Classic

It was only a few weeks ago when Retroid reduced the price of their Pocket Classic and the Pocket 5 handhelds, in a bid to give the community their last lot of units at an affordable price, and I'll be honest, the Pocket Classic at $99 was a steal, but Retroid has only gone and reduced it yet again!

The Pocket Classic is their last vertical (at the moment), and once sold out, it's "gone forever", and as I mentioned in my written review of the device, it's one of the best affordable vertical Android devices on the block, thanks to its large 3.92" AMOLED display and the choice between 4 or 6 action buttons.

Admittedly, it has aged in terms of performance, but actually, there's only so much power you need on a square display with no analogue stick; it simply comes down to how it looks and feels, while offering good emulation up to PlayStation 1, and I can confirm, it does that very well.

Retroid has come out with a new coupon code that offers customers $30 off the Retroid Pocket Classic and the Retroid Pocket 5, two great handhelds, now cheaper than ever, and likely the cheapest they will ever be until Retroid has sold through all of the stock. To get the Pocket Classic for $69, use coupon code $30OFF at checkout; this will take the original price of $99 down to $69 before shipping on their official website.

It's worth noting that there are only two colour variants of the Pocket Classic left in stock as of writing this news post: the 6-button "Classic 6" version and the "PKM Yellow" version, both with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. For those interested in snagging the Retroid Pocket 5, the same coupon code works; use code $30OFF at checkout to get the Pocket 5 for $149, reduced from $179.

There are four of the colour variants left on the Pocket 5's listing page, so there seems to be plenty in stock at the moment, whereas the Classic looks like it's on its last legs. But that aside, both are great handhelds, and if I had to choose one, the best deal has to be the Pocket Classic; that's an absolute bargain in 2026.
