- Retroid has released a new video showing the upgrades in the Retroid Flip 2.
- Key changes are hall effect sticks and triggers, an OLED screen, and a reinforced hinge.
- The device will launch in spring of this year.
It’s been less than a week since Retroid announced the highly anticipated follow-up to the Retroid Flip, but we now have more details about what’s been improved in the new retro gaming handheld. It appears that Retroid listened to the fans on this one, because nearly every box has been ticked.
In a strangely dramatic promotional video (seen above), Retroid revealed that the Flip 2 will have full, analog Hall Effect joysticks, fixing one of the main complaints from the first iteration. Given the Nintendo DS-style clamshell design (minus the second screen), the sticks are recessed to allow it to close, but the higher placement should make them more comfortable to use.
