Retro Handhelds • • technology
Key Points:
- Retroid is expected to release a new dual-screen handheld, the Pocket Flip 3, potentially launching in the second half of 2026, as hinted by the company's social media response.
- The Pocket Flip 3 would follow the Pocket Flip 2, which uses the Snapdragon 865, and is speculated to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, balancing performance and cost.
- Retroid's dual-screen device aims to compete with existing models like the AYN Thor and Anbernic RG DS, offering a more integrated dual-screen experience than the current Retroid Dual Screen Add-on.
- Since Retroid and AYN are sister companies, the release of the Pocket Flip 3 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip could impact sales of the AYN Thor, possibly indicating an upcoming AYN Thor 2 with a more advanced Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
- Details remain speculative, but the Pocket Flip 3 is generating anticipation as Retroid expands its handheld lineup beyond the Pocket Nova, currently available for pre-order.
