The much-anticipated GPD Pocket 4 has finally debuted on Indiegogo, exciting tech enthusiasts with its cutting-edge features. Positioned as one of the first AMD Strix Point handheld devices, the Pocket 4 updates and outshines its predecessor, the Pocket 3, with significant enhancements.
There are two main Zen 5 configurations to choose from, both boasting impressive performance. The top-tier model is equipped with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, paired with the potent Radeon 890M iGPU, featuring 16 CUs. While GPD isn’t specifically marketing the Pocket 4 as a gaming console, this robust RDNA 3.5 integrated GPU is adept at running most games in stunning 1080p resolution. For those seeking even more gaming power, the device supports eGPU connectivity via a USB4 port, enabling users to amplify their gaming experience further.
Alternatively, another Zen 5 configuration sports the Ryzen AI 9 365 APU, accompanied by the Radeon 880M with 12 CUs. Additionally, a third option features the previous generation Ryzen 7 8840U with the Radeon 780M, which comfortably supports AAA gaming at lower settings in 1080p.
All Pocket 4 models house a 45 Wh battery ensuring ample usage time, and showcase an array of connectivity options including USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, and USB-A 2.0. The module expansion slot opens the door for versatile modifications, with four modules available from GPD currently.
On the pricing side, the Pocket 4 featuring the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, an extensive 64 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage is priced at $1,335 on Indiegogo. For a more budget-friendly option, the Pocket 4 with the Ryzen AI 9 365 comes at $1,057. The most affordable variant, equipped with the Ryzen 7 8840U, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage, is available for $829.
These desired acquisitions will commence shipping in January 2025, although details about the retail availability remain undisclosed. To explore these intriguing configurations and their specific pricing further, interested buyers can visit the Indiegogo page dedicated to this promising device.
