A second screen, most often a touchscreen, is used for titles designed for two screens (DS, 3DS, Wii U), but also to keep a video, a chat or a browser open while you play. The catalogue has four: the Retroid Pocket Duo (4.5-inch AMOLED secondary screen), the Duo Lite (4.2-inch secondary screen), the Duo Lite Plus and the AYN Thor (3.92-inch AMOLED touch secondary screen).

They mainly differ in processor, screen technology (AMOLED or TFT) and price. Entry-level versions suit older systems and DS; more powerful versions open up more emulation. Compare the entries to see what each configuration brings.
