Retroid Pocket adds Duo Lite Plus, pauses Duo Lite shipments after buyer backlash

Retroid Pocket has launched a third handheld in its Duo family, the Duo Lite Plus, which pairs the slim body of the Duo Lite with the more powerful Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-7790 chip used in the standard Duo. It's priced at $219 (or $199 with an early bird code) and ships mid-November, arriving just over a week after preorders opened for the original Duo and Duo Lite models.
