Retroid Pocket Flip 2 LIVE: A Clamshell Done Right (so far)

👉In today's video, Stubbs is Live with the new AMOLED Android handheld, the RP Flip 2, for an unboxing and gives his first impressions. We answer all of your questions and spend 3 hours going over all kinds of tests and differences between the Flip and the RP5 (and other clamshells). Let's see if this is truly the king of clams. We're also joined today by ‪@retrotechdad‬ !

The Pocket Flip 2 features a clamshell design reminiscent of the Nintendo DS, with a 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display, a choice between Snapdragon 865 or MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipsets (this one today is a SD865), and Android 13, making it a powerful option for emulation. It offers some neat color options and competitive pricing, with the Flip 2 starting at $199. Retroid sent this device for review.
