TL;DR
- Retroid says early Pocket 6 shipments will be limited after OLED screen production slowed things down.
- Only around 100 black units are expected to ship first, with wider shipments starting later in the week.
- The update follows the Pocket 6’s recent redesign, which reintroduced the handheld with two control layouts.
It hasn’t been smooth sailing for Retroid over the last couple of months. After relaunching the Pocket 6 with two different control layouts, early shipments of the Android handheld are now being staggered thanks to a production slowdown tied to its OLED screen.
In a Discord update to customers, the company said it will only be able to ship around 100 black Pocket 6 units next Monday, starting with the stick-on-top version. Retroid says the holdup comes down to OLED screen calibration, which has limited how many units it can get out the door during early production.
