Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is a clamshell-style Android handheld that packs serious emulation power into a nostalgic folding design. If you grew up with a Nintendo DS or 3DS, the form factor will feel immediately familiar -- though this time you get a single, gorgeous 5.5-inch AMOLED screen instead of two. It runs Android 13 and plays nicely with a huge range of emulators and native Android games.

Who is Retroid Pocket Flip 2 for?
This is aimed squarely at retro gaming enthusiasts who want a pocketable device for emulation on the go. It handles everything from classic 8-bit and 16-bit systems up through PS2 and GameCube with ease, and can even tackle some Switch titles. The clamshell design protects the screen when tossed into a bag or backpack, making it a solid travel companion.
Pros and Cons
On the plus side, the AMOLED screen is genuinely stunning, Snapdragon 865 emulation support is excellent, and the hinge feels much more solid than the original Flip. On the downside, reviewers have noted the power button placement is awkward, the speakers could be better, the D-pad and buttons feel a bit small for the available space, and 128GB of internal storage may feel tight for some users.
