mini flip gaming device by miyoo revives retro-console style
Miyoo Mini Flip gaming device folds into a portable, retro-styled, handheld console that has almost the same size as a playing card deck. Made for those who want to play old classic video games on the go, the gadget resembles a flip phone but is just for playing. The hinge splits the device into two parts: the top screen with a 2-8 inch display and a resolution of 750 by 560, and a lower part with control buttons.
The company says that the screen is able to show lots of pixels, which means even if it is small for its size, the resolution is quite high and the images are quite sharp. The wide-viewing angle is also able to restore the color details, so the gamer sees a vibrant display as they play. There’s a thin bezel around the screen too, making the mini flip gaming device look bigger and wider than it actually is.

Personal gadget that is compact enough to fit the palm
It is a retro fest for the Miyoo Mini Flip gadget because the gaming device brings back the lettered control buttons with Y, X, A, and B. They are placed on the right side of the bottom area, and on their left side, there is a cross-shaped control pad that users can use to choose their characters or items in games. Above the control pad, there is a small round button for the menu, and near the bottom, the buttons Select and Start are found. Two small holes under the buttons show where the speaker is placed, so the sound from the games comes from the front.
At the back of the mini flip gaming device, there is a USB-C port that can connect to a cable for charging or data. Holding the Miyoo gadget seems easy because the corners are smooth and the size is compact enough to fit the palm of a hand. It is the reason people can keep it in their jean pockets or bags. That, plus the device, is a fun way to bring back the classic games from the past. No need to plug it into a TV or another device. Users can just unfold the mini flip gaming device, switch it on, and start playing.
