Retroid Pocket Duo Lite Plus packs flagship Q-7790 processor in a compact frame

Retroid Pocket has abruptly expanded its handheld lineup, unveiling the Duo Lite Plus only about a week after preorders went live for the standard Duo and Duo Lite versions. This newly introduced variant is now open for preorder. It combines the more compact build of the base Duo Lite with the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-7790 chip, which is the same silicon found in the more expensive flagship Duo. According to Retroid Pocket, this late addition came in response to user requests. The company acknowledged a desire for flagship-level performance in a pocket-friendly size.

The surprise reveal threw a wrench into the original launch schedule and caught early adopters of the standard Duo Lite off guard. Many had just ordered the less powerful model and had no idea a version pairing the smaller body with the top-tier processor was on the horizon.

Announcing this hybrid just days after the initial window opened sparked frustration among those who wound up with the less ideal setup.

In response to the pushback, Retroid Pocket moved quickly to address the situation. The company emailed its customer base en masse and halted all pending Duo Lite shipments. This hold gives buyers room to weigh their options. Those who already committed to the base Duo Lite can either keep their existing order or officially swap it for a Duo Lite Plus. To ease the transition, Retroid Pocket is absorbing both the exchange and shipping fees for anyone choosing to upgrade.

As for pricing and availability, the Retroid Pocket Duo Lite Plus is listed at USD219 (~Php13,700) for standard preorders, though an early bird promo knocks $20 off, bringing it to $199.

Following a long break from solo adventures, two major new games in the Tomb Raider series were revealed at The Game Awards 2025.
