Retroid has posted another teaser for one of its new retro gaming handhelds. This time, the company has confirmed display specifications for the Retroid Pocket Classic, which will surpass the Ayaneo Pocket DMG and Analogue Pocket in crucial areas.

Retroid has elaborated on the teasers it shared yesterday for the Pocket Classic, which arrived in the wake of a resolution to ongoing Pocket Mini display issues. To recap, the company revealed more render images of the Pocket Classic yesterday while also naming launch colour options and an optional six-button variant.

Now, it has confirmed display specifications for the device, evidence of which we have embedded below. In short, the Pocket Classic will match the Ayaneo Pocket DMG with a 3.92-inch AMOLED display that resolves at 1,240 x 1,080 pixels with an effective 5:4 aspect ratio (1.15:1). By contrast, the Analogue Pocket (curr. $320 on Amazon) utilises a 3.5-inch LCD with a higher 1,600 x 1,440-pixel resolution and a 1.11:1 aspect ratio.

Also, the Pocket Classic will be capable of reaching 500 nits, compared to 400 nits for the Pocket DMG. Although this reveals a 25% advantage in the Pocket Classic's favour, Analogue does not list the Pocket's peak brightness value on its website.

Please note that while Retroid only links these specifications to the six-button 'Classic 6' variant, we suspect they apply to all SKUs. Other details about the Pocket Classic remain unknown for now; we would not be surprised if Retroid offered the device with the same Dimensity 1100 and Snapdragon 865 chipsets as the Pocket Flip 2, though.
