Retro Gaming Revolution: Clamshell Handheld Retroid Pocket Flip 2 Rumors Uncovered
Rumor: Retroid Pocket Flip 2 on the Horizon?
The Lowdown
- Retroid is rumored to be working on a sequel to the Pocket Flip
- The original handheld gaming system was quietly discontinued
- No details on specs or design have been released
A Blast from the Past
The Retroid Pocket Flip may not be a household name, but it was a solid retro portable clamshell console that launched in March 2023 and was later discontinued in 2024. If you’re a fan of retro gaming, you might be excited to hear that a potential sequel is on the horizon.
The Rumor Mill
YouTuber Joey’s Retro Handhelds recently published a video about the Miyoo Flip, but in the last minute and a half, the host casually dropped a bombshell: a Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is coming. Unfortunately, no details were given, leaving us wondering what specs and design we can expect.
The Original’s Reception
When the Retroid Pocket Flip first launched, it received a fairly good reception. However, the clamshell handheld was plagued by a widespread hinge problem. Despite the company fixing the issue, the damage was already done. The discontinuation of the original device remains a mystery, but the hinge problems likely played a role.
What to Expect
Given the original device’s Unisoc Tiger T618 chipset, it’s likely that the sequel will feature an upgraded SoC. This could make the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 more powerful than other retro handhelds on the market.
