Retroid releases new Pocket Flip 2 gaming handheld variant with early launch discounts available
The MediaTek Dimensity version of the Pocket Flip 2 is finally here after an extended wait. While the Qualcomm-powered model has been available for some time (curr. $269 on Amazon), its MediaTek sibling has suffered a three-month delay for one reason or another.
To recap, the Pocket Flip 2 Dimensity Edition contains three major changes from its Qualcomm-powered sibling. Positively, the new variant features Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, which offers Low Energy Audio (LE Audio) and reduced power consumption over the Bluetooth 5.1 found in the Qualcomm version of the Pocket Flip 2.
The Dimensity Edition drops from 27 W to 18 W charging, though. On top of that, our benchmarks show that the Dimensity 1100 in this model falls about 11% short of the Snapdragon 865 in GPU tasks but 22% when pushing their CPUs.
Nonetheless, Retroid charges 13% less for the new Dimensity Edition or almost 22% less when applying the discount code FLIP2SAVE20 at checkout before July 11. Alternatively, FLIP2SAVE10 will be available for a $10 discount until August 9. Please see Retroid's product page for more details and the chart below comparing the device's two variants.
