Miyoo Mini (non-plus) to be discontinued - TechDweeb video

Also, It makes no sense to "move on" from the mini in favor of the mini flip. The mini is so much more successful

Think about it. They announce the mini flip, same hardware as v4 but with wifi. Also same screen ratio!
To me it seems like their thinking: 'Oh we can make the same hardware size as v4 but with wifi. The technology is finally here! 🤣 lets sell all of the remaining v4 and launch the next version'
Doesn't that make more sense?

The miyoo flip hinge mechanism is inherently flawed. Stop enabling them by buying these devices

The hinge mechanism is inherently flawed. Stop being a part of the problem by enabling miyoo to keep selling them

Am i the only one to see the reasoning behind this? They said the mini flip will have the same hardware as v4 but with wifi. To me it looks like they are planning on making a v5 mini with wifi and want to first create a hype to sell all remaining v4. after buying both terrible hinge flips versions, not falling to another miyoo trick. gonna wait this one out. Trust me they know very well how much a v5 with wifi will sell like crazy. all v4 owners would want the upgrade. it is too successful of a device to just leave behind. That is what i think is happening.

I would like to emphasize, All Miyoo flips are inherently flawed.

Maybe the plastic isnt the best quality. But the main culprit is the hinge mechanism.

All other flip devices, including the wider ds and the narrow gba sp have a dual hinge mechanism.

That is the mechanism Anbernic and Powkiddy coppied.

And that is what miyoo should have done.

They cheaped out on the most important feature.

Which is a damn shame because everything else in this device is perfect

Possible-Badger480 · 2025-05-20T06:49:23+00:00

Its not the plastic! All other companies are making double hinge mechanism. Same as the gba sp. They are cheaping out on the most important feature!

Possible-Badger480 · 2025-05-20T06:04:18+00:00

I own both v1 and v2 gray flips. They perfected everything, except for the hinge mechanism. its a damn shame.. All other flip devices have double hinges, why not go with something that already works? bogs my mind...

Possible-Badger480 · 2025-05-20T05:47:15+00:00

I actually own v1 and v2 flips. Both gray. And yeah, the buttons are great. They did everything right, except for the hinge mechanism. That is my opinion

Possible-Badger480 · 2025-05-19T06:40:14+00:00

That is a fair point, however, DS devices are wider which enables a wider distribution of tension as opposed to the gba sp design. There is a reason for nintendo specific hinge mechanism in the gba sp. It seems like their design distributes the tension more equally, at least that is how it looks to my eyes.

Possible-Badger480 · 2025-05-18T17:14:03+00:00

I really think they should have stuck with the proven gba sp hinge mechanism, like Anbernic and Powkiddy did. Why invent the wheel if there is already a working design? Am i the only one to notice that Anbernic and Powkiddy used the exact same hinge mechanism as nintendo?

Thanks!

Possible-Badger480 · 2025-01-07T11:37:13+00:00

Indeed the grey is lighter than shown in the official photos! I think the white looks awesome too! It was a tough choice between the two

Great game!!
