Retroid Pocket Flip 2

Retroid Pocket Flip 2 – next-gen clamshell with massive Android power

The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is a next-gen clamshell-style Android handheld, featuring a stunning AMOLED screen, active cooling and Android 13. Whether you’re playing modern Android games, cloud gaming or running your own legal backups in emulators, this handheld handles it all with ease.

And to be honest: clamshell handhelds are just really comfortable. They cover the screen neatly, fit comfortably in your hand and look fantastic too. Especially that green version… that’s really next-level. I want one too.

Why the ‘ Retroid Pocket Flip 2 ’ is special

The Flip 2 is designed for gamers who want more than just retro. Under the bonnet, it’s powered by the Snapdragon 865, a proven, powerful chip whose benefits are immediately apparent in fast loading times, smooth controls and stable performance, even during longer gaming sessions. Thanks to the active cooling, performance remains consistent, even when running more demanding emulators or Android games.

The controls really bring it all together. The 3D Hall sticks are precise and durable, with no need to worry about stick drift. The analogue L2/R2 triggers are perfect for racing games, shooters and streaming. Combined with the clamshell design, the Flip 2 vfeels surprisingly ergonomic and sturdy.

With Android 13, you have access to the Play Store for emulators, native Android games and streaming apps such as Steam Link or cloud gaming. Retroid also provides official OTA updates, which makes this handheld even more future-proof.

Compact, powerful and ready for whatever you want to play.
