When GoRetroid teases a product it usually comes with an array of announcements scattered through the month after, and that's exactly what's happened this week, following their Retroid Classic specifications announcement yesterday.
As of today, the pricing and release date for both of of their upcoming products the Pocket Flip 2 and the classic has been revealed, first noticed by user GameboyJunataro on X.
It's evident that both of these are targeting two different types of gamers, and our guess-timations in previous news posts were not far off, so I am happy to see GoRetroid continue to price their devices competitively.
The Pocket Flip 2 will come in two different versions, one featuring the Snapdragon 865 CPU which starts at $219, and a MediaTek Dimensity D1100 version starting at $189. Early birds get $10 and pre-orders start on March 17th 21:30 EST/March 18th 09:30 BJT.
For those interested in the Classic handheld, you'll be glad to hear that it starts at $114 for the 4GB RAM version, which comes with 64GB internal storage and limited to just two colour varations the Classic 6 and the Retro. There is also a 6GB version with 128GB of internal storage and the choice of all 7 colours/variations. Early birds will receive $5 off. Pre-orders go live on the same day on March 17th 21:30 EST/March 18th 09:30 BJT.
If you want both products, you are in luck, GoRetroid will offer $30 off if you want to combine the Flip 2 SD865 version and the Classic 6GB version.
As of now there is no information regarding shipping dates, but i won't be surprised if that starts two weeks after the pre-orders open. We will get each of these products in to review, so stick around and sign up to our newsletter if you want to see our thoughts!
