• The Dimensity 1100 edition of the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 will go up for sale later today.
• With the 72-hour early bird discount, it costs $50 less than the Snapdragon 865 version.
• The D1100 is powerful enough for PS2, but the SD865 has better driver support.

The release of the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 earlier this year was rocky to say the least, with the looming threat of tariffs and halted shipping marring what was otherwise one of the most anticipated Android gaming handhelds of the year. Now, Retroid is releasing a new, cheaper version of the Flip 2, and if you act quickly, you can save even more with some great early bird discounts.

This version of the Retroid Flip 2 is nearly identical to the first model, with the same clamshell design, 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage, 8GB of RAM, and beautiful 5.5-inch AMOLED display. The only difference is the chipset. This version swaps the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 for a MediaTek Dimensity 1100.
