There\u2019s undoubtedly a lot of hype surrounding the most recent Retroid handheld to be announced, as the Pocket Nova<\/a> is currently available for pre-order. However, that doesn\u2019t seem to be the only handheld we\u2019ll see from Retroid in 2026, as the Pocket Flip 3 might have been confirmed. <\/p>\n

This comes from @SrLinguicaVIVE on X<\/a>, who shared a screenshot of a conversation on a social media platform. One person asked about whether there was \u201cAny progress on the dual-screen device\u201d, to which the \u201cRetroid Pocket Handheld\u201d account replied with \u201cSecond half of the year.\u201d <\/p>\n

There have been rumblings about Retroid working on a dual-screen handheld for quite a while, with anticipation building for months. The anticipation only intensified following the release of the Retroid Dual Screen Add-on<\/a>, essentially allowing you to turn any compatible handheld into a dual-screen device. While convenient, it\u2019s not quite exactly the same experience that you would find with the AYN Thor<\/a>, AYANEO Pocket DS, or even the Anbernic RG DS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all just pure speculation at this point, but it\u2019s interesting to think about what the Retroid Pocket Flip 3 would have to offer compared to the competition. Seeing as the Pocket Flip 2<\/a> relies on the Snapdragon 865, we don\u2019t see Retroid moving beyond the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. This is mainly because high component costs would result in a price that\u2019s a bit higher than normal for Retroid\u2019s lineup. <\/p>\n

\"AYN<\/p>\n

At the same time, the 8 Gen 2 is the same chip found in the AYN Thor, with the exception of the Thor Lite, which uses the Snapdragon 865. So if Retroid were to release the Pocket Flip 3 with the 8 Gen 2, it would likely immediately cannibalize sales of the AYN Thor. <\/p>\n

Then again, since AYN and Retroid are \u201csister\u201d companies, maybe this is a sign that an AYN Thor 2 is in the works, which would almost have to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Otherwise, it wouldn\u2019t make too much sense, unless Retroid had other plans in mind for the Pocket Flip 3\u2019s processor. <\/p>\n
