The Miyoo Flip brings the brand's signature charm to a clamshell form factor that folds shut to protect the 3.5-inch screen, adding dual analogue sticks and a gyro. The Rockchip RK3566 handles everything up to PS1 and lighter PSP, and the build feels lovely in the hand. Software was still maturing at launch and it is a sprite-to-PS1 machine rather than a powerhouse, but as a pocketable folding retro device it is a delight.
