Don’t wait for Black Friday, get this retro-style Android gaming handheld for under $135 while you still can

While the season of deals is nearly upon us, with Black Friday right around the corner, Amazon already has some great gaming hardware on offer. That includes the Retroid Pocket Classic, an Android gaming handheld that looks a lot like the original Game Boy but packs enough performance power to run the best mobile games. It’s now available for just $134.10, saving you a solid 10% on the original asking price.

For those who don’t know, Retroid is a brand that specializes in nostalgia-inducing devices, such as the Retroid Pocket 5, a top pick from our guide to the best retro handhelds. While it might look pretty old-school, the Pocket Classic offers performance fit for 2025, a long-lasting 5,000mAh battery, and a 3.92-inch AMOLED display that makes every pixel pop with color.

Still, the best thing about the Pocket Classic is its design. In a world of Steam Deck alternatives, it’s a reminder that not every gaming handheld has to be big and wide. Unlike its Game Boy inspiration, this device has shoulder buttons, so you’re not limited in terms of what you can play. It also runs on Android 14, which makes it easier to download all the latest games and software without connecting to a PC or laptop.

In terms of the deal itself, the $134.10 price point applies to the Retroid Pocket Classic in multiple colorways, including kiwi, teal, blue, and yellow, and more. There aren’t different storage configurations to choose from, which makes things easier, and each version packs 128GB of storage. If you do need more space for all your favorite games, though, there is a MicroSD card slot.

It’s worth noting that this is one of Amazon’s time-limited deals, so if you want to grab the Pocket Classic for the new low price of $134.10, we recommend acting fast. Once you’ve got your handheld, you can check out some accessories on the official Retroid site, including a screen score, case, and more.
