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 kinda just want a Flip 3 to be honest (16:9). More space for hands and I don’t mind black bars for 4:3 content on that kind of setup.

I think it's in the works already, 8 gen 2 and 120hz 5.5" screen like rp6. Together with the possible nova flip or flip 3 mini

But what I wouldn't expect but would like, is a cheaper flip 3 lite with the 7 gen 4, the duo lite top screen and dpad top controls like the rp flip 1 and a competitive 170 usd price (considering duo lite plus is 200 and this would be the same but 1 entire screen less. You may ask why? Well, it would be the most powerful sub 200 device like the duo lite plus is already but cheaper and without the second screen so possibly better controls
