Retroid, a favorite brand among emulation enthusiasts, has officially thrown its hat into the Black Friday ring. The company announced the start of its sales event, offering savvy shoppers a chance to snag a discount on a selection of its popular Android handhelds, including the brand-new Pocket G2.
In a post on the social media platform X, the company outlined the details of the sale, which is set to run right through the Cyber Monday weekend, ending on December 1, 2025. This gives potential buyers a generous window to make their decision.
However, there's a small catch that buyers need to be aware of. Unlike many other retailers that simply slash prices across the board, Retroid is operating on a discount code system. This means you’ll need to remember to manually apply the code at checkout to claim your savings.
Which Retroid Handhelds Are on Sale?
The Black Friday promotion applies to four specific models. Here’s the complete breakdown of the eligible devices and the codes you'll need:
- Retroid Pocket G2: The latest and greatest from the company receives a $15 discount. Use code

What’s Not Included in the Sale?
Prospective buyers should note that the sale is exclusive to the four models listed above. Unfortunately, you won't find any Black Friday discounts on the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro or the Retroid Pocket Classic. The classic model, however, is readily available on Amazon for $139 if you're looking for an immediate purchase without the discount.
Additionally, none of Retroid's accessories are part of this promotion. This includes the intriguing Retroid Dual Screen Add-on, which will remain at its standard price.
A Sneak Peek at the Future: Retroid Pocket 6 Pre-Order Deal
While not part of the official Black Friday sale, Retroid is also drawing attention to its upcoming flagship, the Retroid Pocket 6. The device, powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, is currently in a pre-order phase ahead of its January release.
For a limited time, you can pre-order the base model with 8GB of RAM for $209 (a $20 saving off its future $229 retail price) or the 12GB RAM version for $259 (down from $279). This presents a great opportunity for early adopters to secure the next-generation handheld at a reduced cost before prices go up in January.
Whether you're looking to upgrade your current emulation machine or jump into the hobby for the first time, Retroid's Black Friday sale offers some compelling options for every budget. Just don't forget those discount codes
