There are three models, not two. The Retroid Pocket Duo ($269) has the Dragonwing Q-7790 chip and two 120Hz AMOLED screens. The Duo Lite Plus ($219) has the same Q-7790 chip but 60Hz TFT screens,…
Duo, $269: Q-7790 · 5.5" + 4.5" AMOLED, both 120Hz · analog triggers · ships mid-October
Duo Lite Plus, $219: Q-7790 · 5.5" + 4.2" TFT, both 60Hz · digital triggers · ships mid-November
Duo Lite, $149/$169: QCS6125 · same TFT screens · eMMC storage · shipping since 17 Sep
The trap: the $149 Lite isn't a cheaper Duo. It's a different, older chip.
