It’s been a long week but CES is finally over. With a lot of announcements, here’s what stood out as some of the most interesting to the Retro Handhelds team.
Catch up on the week’s biggest retro handheld headlines: Another AYANEO debacle, foldable handhelds, and upcoming price hikes, plus fresh emulator and software updates.
AYANEO announced nearly 20 devices in 12 months, but backers are still waiting. See the status of every 2025 reveal and why fans are fed up right now.
Almost three months later, the GAMEMT E3 Vigor is now available for pre-order. It’s just the latest 1:1 handheld to arrive, but priced affordably.
Catch up on the week’s biggest retro handheld headlines: KTR2 shakeup, Pocket Vert details, Pocket 6 photos, plus fresh emulator and software updates.
KTR2 enters the hot $100–$200 bracket with aggressive pricing and higher-end materials. Can KT Pocket carve out space against Retroid, MANGMI, and AYANEO?
New Pocket 6 photos give the best look yet at Retroid’s upcoming flagship, including a peek at the Light Purple colorway and a surprisingly tempting Orange.
MANGMI confirms Snapdragon 865 for the Pocket Max, signaling strong performance while RAM, storage, and pricing details remain uncertain ahead of launch.
Retro Handhelds Weekly is back covering RG477V deals, Steam Deck LCD news, Pocket Max reveals, and the week’s top hardware and software updates.
