My Retroid Pocket Flip 2 finally arrived!

The screen is way bigger than my RP Mini - even for 4:3 content. Surprisingly, the device is even more pocketable.

The screen upgrade for the Mini is on the way. I'll make a proper comparison once it arrives. For those unaware of the screen drama, here's a good article about it: https://retrohandhelds.gg/the-retroid-pocket-mini-v2-has-arrived-but-dont-wait-too-long-to-order-one/

Attaching photos from Mastodon that aren't displayed on Lemmy.

Do you find it confortable to hold while using the Dpad? I'm on the fence of getting one but I'm not sure it's gonna be confortable for long sessions with the Dpad

It's quite comfy. But I found RP Mini more comfortable due to its shape.

If I'm going to get a handheld, I'm kind of torn between these two for some reason.

idk why

the screen hoopla shouldn't have happened in the first place if they just ignore the 4:3 purists :P

Nice! I have been eyeing this in the GameCube color scheme. Can't decide between this or the mini v2.

Looks awesome!

Weirdly, my dream is a handheld like this that can run onion OS or spruce OS (simple Linux OS With a game switcher).
