Retroid has shared new images of its upcoming Dual Screen add-on via its official Discord server shortly before the accessory is expected to ship.
Over on the Retroid Discord, the company has posted real-world photos of the soon-to-be-released accessory. These new images differ from the previously shared renders in that they show the actual device mounted on matching colorway handhelds, providing a more realistic look at how the add-on will appear in use.
Retroid Steady Cookin’
Retroid has been steadily releasing new products and innovations in the retro handheld space over the past year. The Retroid Pocket 5 features a 1080p OLED screen powered by a Snapdragon processor, while the Retroid Pocket Mini V2 is one of the few horizontal handhelds perfectly suited for Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles, yet powerful enough to justify the inclusion of dual analog sticks.

Even the Retroid Pocket Classic and Flip 2 build on earlier concepts. The Classic is one of the most affordable options for GB and GBC-focused gaming, undercutting the significantly more expensive AYANEO Pocket DMG. The Flip 2, meanwhile, reuses the same screen and Snapdragon 865 specs found in the Pocket 5 but reintroduces the clamshell design from the original Flip 1 released in 2023.
Dual-Screen Is In
The upcoming Dual Screen add-on is designed to help emulate dual-screen handhelds like the Nintendo DS and 3DS, but it also opens the door for multitasking, such as playing a game on one screen while displaying a walkthrough video on the other.

This accessory continues a growing trend in retro handhelds toward dual-screen setups. Priced at just $69 and built with the Retroid Pocket 5 in mind, the add-on aims to bring features typically reserved for high-end devices to the mid-tier market. However, despite being primarily shown on the RP5, the add-on should work with any Android device with a 6 to 7-inch screen that is capable of DisplayPort out.
