Retroid has shared a new image with gamers, revealing the appearance of its next portable console called Pocket Nova. The developers also provided the technical specifications of the device's display.

The new product will feature a matte translucent body with a transparent D-pad and ABXY buttons. It will be equipped with symmetrical joysticks with ring backlighting and two front-facing speakers.

The Retroid Pocket Nova features a 4.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 × 960 and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. This screen is larger than the 3.92-inch OLED display of the discontinued Pocket Mini V2 model, which had a resolution of 1240 × 1080 and a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
