What it plays
Every rating links to the review or table it comes from. A system with no rating has not been tested by a source we use, which is not the same as not playable.
Most of them. Android Authority says PS2 games should generally run at 2x upscaling on the Snapdragon 865 model without slowdowns; Retro Game Corps found a few games, such as Jak 3, still slow down at 2x.
Can the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 play Switch games?
Only some. Android Authority reported freezing, graphical glitches and crashes with Switch emulators.
How does the hinge work?
Android Authority found the hinge feels durable; it opens to about 180 degrees but holds at a single 150-degree position.
