Miyoo has finally launched its second clamshell gaming handheld, more than five months after hints of the device appeared online. The Miyoo Mini Flip is notably smaller compared to other recent clamshell retro gaming devices, including Miyoo’s own Flip, Powkiddy’s V90S, and Anbernic’s RG34XX SP and RG35XX SP, which is currently priced at $69.99 on Amazon.
Size and Weight
The Mini Flip measures roughly the same width as the Mini V4, coming in at about 65 mm. However, it is more than 10% heavier than the Mini V4, weighing in at 120 g, which is partly due to its 2,500 mAh battery. Despite this, it features an identical 2.8-inch display with a relatively high resolution of 750 x 560 pixels.
Performance Specs
In terms of performance, Miyoo has opted for the same ARM Cortex-A7 dual-core processor that runs at 1.2 GHz. This chipset is capable enough to emulate games from systems like Nintendo DS and PlayStation. Furthermore, the display offers 2x or 3x integer scaling for classic games from SNES and Sega Genesis (Mega Drive), among others. Keeping the same chipset as the Mini V4 also means that the Mini Flip comes with Onion OS support right out of the box.
Improved Hinge Mechanism
Miyoo has reportedly revamped the hinge mechanism for the Mini Flip. This was a recurring problem in both versions of the Miyoo Flip. The new hinge is said to operate as smoothly as those found in Anbernic’s models. Still, we recommend holding off on forming a final opinion until more unbiased reviews come in.
The Miyoo Mini Flip is available starting today in various colors, with an initial price of $52.99, excluding shipping and taxes. This price includes a 64 GB microSD card. Eventually, Miyoo plans to increase the base price of the Mini Flip to $59.99. For additional information, check out Miyoo’s official website.
