Retroid has revealed the colour ways and the specs for the upcoming Retroid Pocket Flip.

sS many excpected it will have an option with that has the Snapdragon 865 chip.

What is surprising is that they will offer a variant with the Dimensity 1100 chipset.This is the same chip that is in the Retroid pocket 4.

These 2 chips are very similar when it comes to performance but the model with the Dimensity chip may be slightly cheaper.

No info on price as yet though. We will just have to wait and see on that.

For more info check out the Article on Android Authority at this link:

If you don't know yet there is some more news about the much anticipated Retroid Pocket Flip 2.

It seems some leaks suggest a march release date for the device and have also hinted that the mystery device in the background will be a Retroid vertical handheld!

You can check out the Retro Handhelds article that details this better at the below link:

Just heard about something pretty big. Apparently a unknown Chinese develeoper has develeloped a PS3 emulator for Android.

Up untill know you could only emulare PS3 games un windows and certain Linux OS's.

People were also indtalling winlator on their phines to emukate a Eindows enviroment and then running the windows PS3 emulator throgh the winlator app.

That is a lot more taxing and takes far more processing power than a narive android emukator would.

The Guys iver at Andeoid Authorith posted an Article about with a warning though as not much is known about who he is and what his intent was with this so caution is advised as it could include some for. Of malware or spyware that could steal data from your phone.

You can check out the afticle at this link: www.androidauthority.com/aps3e-ps3-emulator-352686…

At the very least it is encouraging to see this being done eventhough it is suspect and apparen tly not a very great app. There are a few handhelds and many phones that would be able to run it making PS3 emulation much more accesible.

For those who do not know yet, Retroid teased the release of the Pocket flip 2 over on their discod. Not much has been revealed only the image attached to this post.

It seems that it will have indeted sticks and possibly come in a gamecube inspired colour scheme.

There is also a image of a mysterious what looks to be a vertical handheld in the back.

Initial thoughts was that this was a type of SP device but the team over at Retro handhelds noted that there does not appear to be a hinge.

Well have to wait an see.

Let me know in the comments what you think.

It seems i will unfortunately not get a video out today. I was doing my best to get a comparison done of the R36S and the Trimui Brick but between overtime at work, my son's sport, term test's and everything that needed to be done at home i just couldn't get it done.

I will have that comparison up next weekend so i would kindly as that you please bear with me.

I recently received the Anbernic Rgxx Cube as a gift. I have been playing with that and want to do a on camera review within the next month or so.

The affiliate income from the channel is almost enough to buy another handheld aswell so hopefully pretty soon you will be seeing more and more live handheld reviews on the channel!

That gets me excited.

Working on a plan to streamline my schedule so i don't miss weekly videos either so please bear with me. Gonna get there.

Lastly i want to get a "Techupdate" website live this year with written version of my comparisons, reviews and guides so there are a lot of exciting plans in the works

Thank you so much for understanding and for all the views. comment and support i have received thus far.

You guys are truly legends!
