I waited when the Miyoo Flip V.1 was announced mainly due to I've learned from my numerous retro handheld purchases to wait, just in case revisions could happen. It's definitely happened to me before, so, I'm a bit more patient these days.
The revisions did take place and so I ordered the Miyoo Flip V.2 addition.
Packaging was quite safely done, and it was a nice presentation building that nostalgic feeling as I picked up my new handheld. The handheld feels quite nice, even before opening to reveal the screen & controls it has a premium feel to the shell. The hinges are quite loud when moving to the different positions, but also seemed very sturdy, so no worries here.
I really love the mini HDMI port and it works flawlessly. The D Pad has a very nice feel to it, not too clicky and not too soft. The shoulder buttons are very nice as well. Exceptionally quite!
The analog sticks have a very little cardinal snapping and are fantastic to use in racing games, like Ridge Racer, for example.
As always the operating system is intuitive and the game selection has been chosen well.
The sound is good, but not great, and the battery life is right where it should be, depending on the system being emulated a good 6-8 hours of gaming.
My only wish with the version 2 of the Miyoo Flip, and the only reason I've scored this console an 8/10 is the screen resolution. I would have given this device a 10/10 if it had a 720p resolution screen. Especially when 95% of system being developed today have moved past the 480p option.
Still, is it worth the money and is it fun to use? The answer to those two questions is an easily given, yes.
So, if you're looking for an outstanding stocking stuffer, at a great price point for this holiday season, look no further
than the Miyoo Flip V.2. Enjoy!

Great selection/ minimal issues

With the stock OS i could not open any apps or games on this device. Support wrote me with a new OS image AND a guide. Did all and it completely broke the device. And no, I didn't abort any flashing. Sad.

Great little game console

Expensive SD Card. With games that require keyboards to play.
