NotesSpecs on GoRetroid.com claim 1.5 GHz but the MT6580 only gets up to 1.3 GHz normally. Apparently the Pocket 2 uses an overclocked MT6580 to get up to 1.5 GHz. Sticks do not click in so no L3 / R3. Right stick is listed as "digital joystick", so it may not even be true analog. "Right stick component is a sliding style like what you see on the Pocket Go 2" - Taki
ConsDigital slidepad right analog (not true analog)some people can feel input lag
