The Miyoo Flip’s foldable design protects its 3.5-inch IPS screen when closed, making it ultra-portable (just 180g!). The matte finish and tactile buttons evoke retro vibes while feeling premium—perfect for tossing in a bag or pocket.

2. Crisp 3.5" IPS Display

The 640x480 resolution IPS screen delivers pixel-perfect clarity for GBA, SNES, and PS1 classics. Full lamination reduces glare, so you can game outdoors or on the couch without squinting.

3. Performance That Packs a Punch

Powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-G31 GPU, the Miyoo Flip handles up to PS1 emulation smoothly. With 1GB RAM and 64GB expandable storage (via microSD), load times are snappy, and you’ll never run out of games.

4. Marathon Battery Life

The 3,000mAh battery offers 8+ hours of playtime—enough for a cross-country flight or a lazy Sunday RPG grind. USB-C charging means no hunting for proprietary cables!

5. Plug-and-Play Versatility
