ModRetro Chromatic vs Analogue Pocket: which retro handheld is right for you?


Two great retro gaming handhelds go head-to-head

Thanks to its microSD Express slot, there’s also the option to load emulators for other platforms, making the Analogue Pocket a Swiss army knife of sorts. It’s possible to stream your gameplay to Twitch or other services using a USB-C cable and PC or Mac, and the console’s firmware can be updated to add new features or iron out bugs. The Analogue Pocket only offers black and white color options, while the ModRetro Chromatic is available in Cloud, Midnight, Wave, Leaf, Inferno, Volt and Bubblegum.
