Key Highlights
- Only around 100 black units are expected to ship first, with wider shipments starting later in the week.
- The update follows the Pocket 6’s recent redesign, which reintroduced the handheld with two control layouts.
- It hasn’t been smooth sailing for Retroid over the last couple of months.
- After relaunching the Pocket 6 with two different control layouts, early shipments of the Android handheld are now being staggered thanks to a production slowdown tied to its OLED screen. In a Discord update to customers, the company said it will only be able to ship around 100 black Pocket 6 units next Monday, starting with the stick-on-top version.
- Retroid says the holdup comes down to OLED screen calibration, which has limited how many units it can get out the door during early production.
