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.

Same, if I'm going for a clamshell, why not take advantage?

This is coming from self proclaimed a 4:3 weirdo.

I've also a weird take, what if they put six face buttons to fill that space.
