Retroid Pocket Flip is a clamshell gaming handheld launched in 2023. Powered by Tiger T618 (8-core, 2.0 GHz), 4 GB RAM. Features a 4.7" IPS LCD Touchscreen display (1334 x 750). 5000 mAh battery. WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0. Runs Android.
Inside is the Unisoc Tiger T618 SoC, with 2 Cortex-A75 and 6 Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz, Mali-G52 MP2 graphics at 850 MHz and 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM at 3732 MT/s. Active cooling with a heatsink, fan and ventilation cutouts keeps performance steady. Classic systems, arcade boards and PlayStation run comfortably, while N64, PSP and Dreamcast run almost entirely at full speed. Some GameCube titles are playable, whereas PS2 is barely playable and only for easier-to-emulate games.
The 4.7-inch IPS touchscreen offers a 1334 x 750 resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, roughly 326 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate, covered by OCA-laminated tempered glass. A top-facing micro HDMI port lets you send games to a TV as well.
Controls include an upper-placed cross D-pad, 4 face buttons and symmetric dual Hall sensor slidepads with L3/R3. The shoulders carry L1/R1 plus analog L2/R2 triggers, along with programmable M1/M2 buttons. The device measures 139 x 82 x 25.4 mm, weighs 270 g, uses a plastic body and includes a built-in microphone.
The 5000 mAh battery charges over USB-C, and connectivity covers WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. Audio comes from dual rear-facing stereo speakers or the 3.5 mm headphone jack on the front edge. The 128 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage can be expanded via microSD.
Android 11 gives access to emulators, frontends and Android apps, and the modding policy is permissive. The supported library stretches from Atari, MSX and ZX Spectrum to ScummVM, PICO-8 and OpenBOR.
Ideal for: players who want a compact, foldable retro handheld that handles N64, PSP and Dreamcast at near full speed, with a touchscreen and video output, at an accessible price.
