- Time Extension · Hardware review — Pocket Advance · 13 Aug 2026
A faithful replica of the retro format: sharp 3:2 screen, solid finish, large D-pad and comfortable triggers, quiet fan; convincing emulation of handheld classics up to the Dreamcast.
- Retro Handhelds · Written review — Pocket Advance · 17 Sep 2026
Comfortable over long sessions, quiet buttons, good balance in the hands and a quiet fan with selectable performance modes; the review suggests an alternative launcher for the interface.
- The Verge · Hands-on review — Pocket Advance 3 GB / 32 GB · 2 Oct 2026
Very good finish, large D-pad and a superb screen for handheld classics; soft buttons and a small interface that takes some getting used to.
