According to the latest news reports, the maker of the Retroid Pocket series of portable game consoles has shown off a new model with a clamshell design – the Retroid Pocket Flip. The handheld is about the size of a Nintendo DS, but without a screen at the bottom. The so-called retro portable game console is to use open source systems and emulators to reincarnate old games and dirt into a portable game console with a redesigned appearance.
In terms of specifications, the Retroid Pocket Flip retro portable game console is equipped with UNISOC’s Huben T618 processor, 4GB LPDDR4-1866 RAM and 128GB eMMC ROM. It uses a 4.7-inch 1334 x 750 resolution screen and weighs 270g.
This retro portable game console supports and runs the Android 11 system. It has a 5000mAh battery. The joystick is hand rubbed and equipped with a Hall sensor. There are five overall colors.
Of course, it is not far from the time to market. The Retroid Pocket Flip will be available for pre-order overseas on March 21st, with a retail price starting at US$159 (approximately HK$1250/NT$4880).
