How it compares

The RG DS is a two-screen handheld, and the Pocket DS is the other two-screen device here: the maker pairs a 7-inch OLED main screen with a 5-inch LCD secondary, so the two screens differ in size, unlike the RG DS with its two 4 inch panels. The Pocket DS lists a Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 and an 8000 mAh battery, but gives no weight. The RG405M is a single-screen Android 12 device with a 4 inch touch screen and 4GB of RAM, where the RG DS spec line reads 3+32GB, read here as 3GB of RAM, and offers Android 14 or Linux 64-bit. The RG DS lists the smaller battery, 4000 mAh against 4500 mAh.
