So I'd rate the Anbernic's stock version higher on the scale if doing a rated comparison like that (see below) But like I said in the video, because I like joystick games, I may be grabbing the Miyoo when I'm out in the go more for convenience. Here's a rating I'll give them based on their stock releases before custom firmware options: Anbernic 8/10 Miyoo 7/10 Custom firmware definitely makes the Anbernic an easy 9/10 or 10/10 so I'm curious to see what happens with the Miyoo.. but still, no Bluetooth is something that some people will be disappointed in.

I mean it's a little early to see how it will hold up over time, but those joystick holes look like they are going go gather up a lot of dirt 😆 these handhelds can be hit or miss for build quality, even when they restock them. I wouldn't expect perfection by any means. But overall it's great for what it is The market at this price range used to be limited to PS1.. now we're at DS.. PSP.. etc. So it will depend on if the price of components decreases for more powerful options. I'm actually surprised we don't have more clamshells at higher price points with the amount of handhelds that are flooding the market now lol so at the rate clamshells are releasing, there's a chance you might be waiting a long time for a more powerful one

Just one with good build quality, beautiful aesthetic GBA SP style look (which the Miyoo Flip does have), small size. Also good durability, so no mushy buttons, stick drift, color wearing off easily etc.

They are accurate in that they don't have cardinal snapping. And they have some resistance which helps that. They feel good actually, despite being in large holes.. and are small in size. I tried moving Mario around slowly on N64 and it was pretty smooth, but had some very slight jitters. But very playable. The joysticks have a bit of a mechanical feel if you're moving them around slowly, it's not 100% a smooth gliding feel. I would say they are okay for casual gaming, but they're not a good option for long play sessions at all

I at least started hearing about it in 2023 when I started making Powkiddy V90 videos after my friend gifted it to me. I also heard Miyoo is a smaller company compared to Anbernic. But you're right, they never fully delivered on this, and I think they know the community will improve this a lot with firmware releases like the Miyoo Mini/Mini Plus. But the build quality could have been better for sure. I think Anbernic really took advantage of the hype in 2024 and gave people what they wanted

that SD card reader will destroy your card

What are the details on that?

@@batpixelnot sure if this is the same, but Miyoo has been known to send out the absolute worst card readers and micro SD cards. The recommendation is not to use them at all, just copy the files.
@batpixel17 сағат бұрын
@Cujobob yeah the card is junk. If they have the same reputation for readers like you said, then it's likely the same. I mentioned backing up the files somewhere because of the junk card, but the files on this device are not great either, for example some games are chinese and some emulators are broken. People are better off building their own anyway. It's annoying handheld companies keep sending out bad files like that too 😆 it wouldn't be hard to fix that at least

Ruined it with the thumbsticks and shitty dpad.

The dpad was a weird choice. The form factor isn't great for sticks at all, but I'm glad they're included as an option

Wow its from the company that lets 3rd party sellers buy out their entire stock within 1 minute of release not giving a puck about consumers

I've seen the resellers jacking up the price which sucks. But when this went on sale, I had set an alarm to get up in the middle of the night to get one. I had time to choose for a little bit before it sold out. I think the white & grey colors both sold out after a short time, but the black & yellow versions were available for a good while. Maybe if it released during the day time in North America it would have sold out faster. But they have posted that they will keep restocking, so keep an eye on their social media & Miyoo Official Store on Aliexpress. Someone else commented that if you message them on Aliexpress they may reply when it will be restocked again. It should cost around $80 USD

Yikes the flip is 3X the price of a 35XX.

It should be around $80 USD. If you're seeing higher prices they are resellers jacking up the price. The Miyoo Official Store on Aliexpress is where to get it when it's back in stock. Some websites I have collaborated with will start selling some soon with a reasonable markup. But yeah, don't get ripped off lol

Looks pretty flimsy

It has a good quality feel. But some elements could use improvement for sure
