![]() ![]() The 3.5", 615ppi 1600x1440 display is absolutely overkill when compared to the 160x144 resolution screen of the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color. The screen is the feature most deserving of glowing praise. The 4300mAh battery is comparable in capacity to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and there's an optional 18W "Fast Charging Power Supply" Analogue claims will charge up your battery 50% faster than other chargers. Analogue promises 6 to 10 hours of battery life. That said, the matte finish suffers from the same issue as most other plastic gaming components, in that I can already see some smoothing around the edges of the D-pad and the most-used buttons, something I have to imagine will only become more pronounced with extended play.īeyond the cartridge port, there's a USB-C port for charging, a slot for a microSD card, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a port for the Game Boy link cable. Instead its mono-color aesthetic – it comes in all black or all white – gives it a sophisticated, modern look that feels worthy of its $219 price tag. While the Analogue Pocket shares much of its industrial design DNA with the Game Boy, it doesn't look like a wannabe. Other retro-themed handhelds also mimic the style of Nintendo's famous handheld, but they usually come off looking cheap – or worse, bootleg. The Analogue Pocket measures 5.86" tall x 3.46" wide x 0.86" thick, which means it looks like a slightly-taller but slightly-thinner original Game Boy – but with extra buttons. Inside is a USB-C cable, a few pieces of paperwork, some stickers, and the Pocket itself. It's the kind of box you put on a storage shelf and convince yourself never to recycle or throw out. It's par for the course for Analogue, so if you own any of the company's other gaming hardware, like the Super Nt or the Mega Sg, you already know what to expect. It's not quite the same caliber as a new iPhone, but the box in which it's packed is high-quality and makes a great first impression. The Pocket first distinguishes itself as a high-end gaming solution with its packaging. ![]()
