Retroid Pocket Flip 2

Retroid Pocket Flip 2 - next-gen clamshell with brute Android power

The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is a next-gen Android handheld in clamshell form, with 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 does it effortlessly.

And fair is fair: clamshell handhelds are just super comfortable. They seal the screen nicely, lie comfortably in the hand and look great too. Especially that green version... it really is next level. I want one too.

Why the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is special

The Flip 2 is made for gamers who want more than just retro. Inside runs the Snapdragon 865, a proven powerful chip that you feel immediately in fast load times, smooth controls and stable performance, even during longer gaming sessions. Thanks to active cooling, performance remains consistent even during heavier emulation or Android games.

The controls finish it off. The 3D Hall sticks are precise and durable, with no worries 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 like Steam Link or cloud gaming. Retroid also delivers official OTA updates, making this handheld extra future-proof.

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