As handheld retro consoles continue to grow in popularity worldwide, Miyoo is back with another exciting release — the Miyoo Flip Mini. This new addition to the Miyoo family builds on the success of the original Flip, offering a more compact design and thoughtful refinements tailored to retro gaming enthusiasts.
📐 Smaller, Lighter — Built for Portability and Nostalgia
The Flip Mini features the same iconic clamshell design as the original Flip but shrinks the screen bezels and overall body size. The most noticeable change? No analog sticks — just a classic D-pad and ABXY buttons, perfect for 2D platformers, arcade games, and retro titles.
“I never really used the analog sticks anyway. This is a smart move.” — Reddit user comment
⚙️ Familiar Performance + Full Community Firmware Support
Powered by the same chipset as the Miyoo Mini series, the Flip Mini is fully compatible with custom firmwares like Onion OS and Spruce OS, giving users a familiar and seamless experience out of the box. While not built for high-end emulation, it handles NES, GBA, SNES, PS1, and more with ease, — ideal for gamers who value stability and simplicity.
🔇 A Missing Feature? No Headphone Jack
Some early images and community speculation suggest the Flip Mini might lack a 3.5mm headphone jack, relying instead on Bluetooth or USB-C audio. While this makes the design more streamlined, it could be a drawback for users who prefer wired audio.
🎨 Fresh Colors and Clean Aesthetic
Early previews show vibrant color options like pastel orange and mint green, giving the Flip Mini a more youthful and playful vibe. If you love the aesthetics of the Miyoo Mini V4 but want the flip-style protection and nostalgia, this console checks every box.
⏰ Launch Timeline & Market Position
While the exact launch date hasn’t been announced, multiple sources confirm the Flip Mini is likely to release this summer, perfectly timed for vacations, travel, and outdoor gaming fun.

🧠 Final Thoughts: Not a Replacement, But a Redesign
The Miyoo Flip Mini isn’t here to replace the original Flip — it’s a lightweight alternative made for players who prioritize portability, simplicity, and 2D-focused gameplay. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just gaming on the go, this could be your next favorite pocket companion.
