Retroid Pocket Flip 2 Dimensity Edition Out at a Cheaper Price
After a wait of three months, Retroid has put out the MediaTek Dimensity model of its Pocket Flip 2. This new make uses a different set of parts to reach a lower price but keeps its 5.5-inch, 1080p AMOLED screen. It comes with an early buy cut that drops the price to $179.
Main Changes Dimensity vs. Snapdragon Make
The new Dimensity model brings some big changes from the first Qualcomm Snapdragon model.
- Speed: Tests show the Dimensity 1100's GPU runs about 11% slower than the Snapdragon 865, and its CPU is around 22% weaker.
- Charge Time: Charge power is down from 27W on the Snapdragon model to 18W on the new Dimensity one.
- Link Ups: The new type has an update to Bluetooth 5.2, which backs Low Energy Audio (LE Audio) and uses less power than the Bluetooth 5.1 in the Qualcomm make.
Price and Early Buy Cuts
The usual price for the Dimensity Edition is 13% less than its Snapdragon match. Retroid has two short time save codes for early shoppers:
- Use code FLIP2SAVE20 at buying for $20 off, good until July 11.
- Use code FLIP2SAVE10 for a $10 cut, good until August 9.
Wrap Up
The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 Dimensity Edition makes folks choose. It has a much lower start price for less CPU/GPU speed and slower charging, while it also brings a small bump in Bluetooth tech. More info is on Retroid's main product site.
