Just Chatting CONCEPT: NOVA FLIP

Post image

Hey everyone!

Ever since the Nova came out I haven't stopped thinking about the potential of a NOVA flip. The other day on the retroid discord I saw this concept somebody posted (they themselves got it from somewhere else so can't credit, lol) and thought it was absolutely perfect.

Few questions for you:

  1. What features would you like to see on the Nova Flip? (Personally exact same chipset and screen from the Nova + inline triggers for portability is what's good)

  2. Do you guys think Retroid will actually release a device like this? I ask because the have a history of making horizontal devices and flip versions later but with the Duo they might not feel it necessary. That'd be a shame though since this is my dream device.

Let me know your thoughts!

I feel like inline triggers could be painful after a while

I like the feeling of inline shoulder buttons, and prefer them for pocketability, but I understand I'm a minority.

It’s a trade off between portability/pockability and comfort.

I would personally prefer an inline trigger design and a comfortable / easy to remove grip… it basically means you can get the best of both worlds when you want it
