I like a lot of people have been waiting for Powkiddy to get back into the Flip Retro Handheld game. I Even wrote a post about how I thought they were secretly working on a handheld nearly a year ago in May 2024 (Is Powkiddy Secretly Making a Clamshell Handheld V90 Successor?).
We don’t have a ton of information on the new handheld yet other than it is coming. We also have some renders which look like they are mostly keeping with their Retro design and yet adding a little Cyberpunk to it as they have been on their “V” series handhelds as of recently. So far it doesn’t look like we will be able to see the SOC or WiFi chip through the shell again though these are very early renders.
It would be difficult to not make this handheld more powerful than the original V90 here with v2.0 or V90-2, New V90 or whatever the name is ultimately going to be. Powkiddy has been using 2 SOCs recently in their devices which are the RK3566 and the A133P. Both would be far more powerful than the current V90 Chipset. I would love to see this with either option along with keeping the pricing competitively inside the budget category.
V90 V2 appears to be coming in 5 colors according to the renders that we have: Transparent Black, Transparent Blue, Transparent Red, Yellow and White. We seem to be missing the popular orange color found in the V1 V90. That is a Shame but it seems to have been replaced by a really sexy looking white and gray colorway.
Anyways here are the images for you to help you decide if you want to put this on the list of Flip/Clamshell Retro Handhelds. To pickup in 2025.
What color is calling your name?
