And so it begins

silk pivot
#

You know what, sure. Someone give me a decent clamshell

#

I know SZDiier is passionate about making handhelds from what I've heard at least

queen prism
#

oh the speaker is on the back

#

tf

#

i will say this looks cool

cunning moat
#

damn tbh this doesn't look that bad

tight minnow
#

this is from the manufacturer behind that one beefy vertical handheld right

quasi elbow
#

yeah the D007

#

the one with the butt

tight minnow
#

how well was that handheld received by those who had it? were the controls and screen decent?

quasi elbow
#

yeah the hardware is decent but stock software is very bad

opal bison
quasi elbow
#

but it has CFW now

tight minnow
#

don't know if I can trust these guys to pull off a decent android rom

quasi elbow
#

they won't

silk pivot
#

Just hope for CFW

tight minnow
#

is that a rear facing mono speaker mariodead

queen prism
median harness
#

if this is 40 dollars, gets CFW, has 3326 in it. It will kill the stupid V90

pallid falcon
#

the fuck are those

#

power/reset,.... on an android?

#

at least let's hope it's a good resolution

opal bison
#

R is for ram

pallid falcon
#

oh my brightness was so low

#

I did not see the labelling

opal bison
#

Lol I’m jk

pallid falcon
#

yeah it's literally power/reset

opal bison
#

I’m guessing it’s a home/menu button??

pallid falcon
#

nope that's there

#

select, home, start

#

I shit you not, I thought Powkiddy did it

opal bison
pallid falcon
#

like the general design is fire

#

the buttons though, fuck no

queen prism
#

they turned the rgb20s into a clampshell

#

dogshit photoshop of how it would look when closed

#

man I don't like buttons but that would have the potential to be the clamshell

rotund wasp
#

What’s the SoC?

quasi elbow
#

no clue, my best guess would be RK3326 though

#

since the patent says android & it's probably fairly likely they reused the D007 hardware

cyan nimbus
#

why oh why are there still GBA SP shaped devices made

okay take my money

median harness
#

I going to laugh if this comes out before the Miyoo and anbernic Clamshells

misty stirrup
#

That would be hillarious

autumn fog
#

owner probably is here studying the trend of the clamshell 🤣

cyan nimbus
#

I swear to god, is it so hard to make a fat DS shaped clamshell instead?!

#

they literally could use aftermarket DS cases for all I care

#

put two laminated screens and an rk3326 inside and be done with it

#

well, bottom one doesn't even has to be given that a touch panel would be good doggylol

tight minnow
#

two screen retro handhelds are not only gonna be super niche but probably also impractical

autumn fog
#

Not pocketable, would guzzle battery

tight minnow
#

does drastic even support that? linux or android version

queen prism
#

it would have to work like the samsung folding phones?

tight minnow
#

yeah that's probably the only way

cyan nimbus
#

also at this point, aren't we all in for the niche devices? like I don't exactly need another one that is exactly like the ones I have

tight minnow
#

what I'm saying is something like that would be so niche that we may see an analogue DS before we see a two screen emulation handheld

#

and that itself might be like a decade away lol

pallid falcon
median harness
#

I tried to make a makeshift dual screen handheld with a old RP3 and DSi XL case. Failed horribly

formal grove
#

This looks better than the flip for the most part

misty stirrup
#

I wish the speaker is front firing :/

pallid falcon
#

it looks better than the flip because it's not just a sp with sticks kek

rotund wasp
pallid falcon
#

but the miyoo flip will just feel 100x better

#

those shoulder buttons give me hard switch vibes

image.png
#

those usb ports give me a-to-c vibes and that's not something I'd want personally kek

#

sole reason I don't use my rgb30 rn is cause I can't just charge it with my regular setup

frail grotto
#

if this somehow is accidentally decent due to mainline linux kernel 3326 I'm down

#

but I doubt it will be

young tide
#

Imagine D007 CFW works on it

valid trench
misty stirrup
#

I think its a wish

young tide
#

As the man with a Funkey SP I'm still in need of a good SP shaped handheld

valid trench
#

aaa ok. if they kept the same hardware and changed only the display, then the CFW should work on it

#

now depends if this device will be launched or not. this one I might take it as I am waiting for an SP clone

tiny depot

No one, tell ||Jade it's just a render.||

silent pewter
#

Alright, time for the DOOB

next topaz
#

I'm not interested in this at all. The speaker position is wack, the d-pad will probably be wack. The sliders are cool and maybe this will actually exist, but I'll keep waiting for the miyoo. Onion is worth it

median harness
#

Thanks for your input

silent pewter
#

Depending on the price I might go for one, clamshells are rare so ya gotta get them where ya can

Your input was appreciated.

Apparently this and the D-R35 Plus both use the same locked android system.

is szdiier good or shit

Last time it was a solid hardware with a shit software

autumn fog
misty stirrup
#

hmm ergonomy wise I would probably rather take the original doot, its apparently nice in hand

The r43 is too kek

#

I just hate the bezels on the doot also that d007 font wtf lol

plucky thunder
misty stirrup
#

its pretty solid with amberelec, though usually it was priced too high

median harness
#

I love the buttons and dpad on the doot. CfW fixes the software issue. Just thr screen is the biggest disappointment.

trail frigate
#

This is the real deal!

#

Miyoo mini flip has old specs. 256RAM not worth it to have sticks in my opinion. If this has better RAM and power than the miyo and anbernic, this is worth the bucks

tight minnow
#

miyoo flip only has 256mb ram? where did you hear that?

#

being a rk3566 handheld I thought it would have 1gb ram minimum

frail grotto
#

I think they’re just assuming it’s the same internals as the MM+

#

When it obviously isn’t due to two sd card slots, hdmi out, and otg usb

#

I read this like it was saying the bottom of the back of the handheld so the sound could be cupped more forward and I thought "hey that's a decent little workaround"

green path

year of the gba sp clones

#

wish it was a front firing speaker....would have that over analogs

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I would've gone with 1 stick for a single front firing speaker

Just so N64 and Dream cast are kinda on the table (sorry ape escape)

YA GoD DAMN RiGHT WE Are

gusty niche
#

Enough buttons on the front to do N64.

Except a lot of the buttons are rubbish, and it doesn't have the power to do N64.

Just looked back at an old review. As one of its plus points, it describes the rk3326 as a powerful chip powerhaha

silent pewter

I'll figure out how to get some N64 playing on here well enough

Is D-008 the official name or our pet name? romgnome4

It's the name on the patent so should be official

What is that D-Q7 kek

#

I want that one specifically

fluid depot
#

These are some similar tv boxes

young tide
#

I'm just looking at all the ports on the back of the DQ-7
because I think it'd be hilarious to have an Android TV box that looks like a PS5

silent pewter
#

if the hardware was right, that'd be fun thing to have around

queen prism
#

the podcast has made me realize this looks like a powkiddy device

young tide

It does

silent pewter
#

The V90 upgrade has arrived in a very strange way

median harness
#

This will be the best low end clam shell ever. Also fuck the V90. It’s a meme handheld and that’s about it

silent pewter
#

HOW FUGGIN DARE

#

it's the best we've had for a smaller clamshell FOR YEARS

young tide
#

The V90 isn't a good handheld
But it's sadly been the best small clamshell for a while now

silent pewter
#

No company was brave enough to even give us a JZ4770 upgrade which in the V90 formfactor would've been sick

glacial harbor

jz4770 ugh

even rk3128 is better while also piss cheap

I think this will be the best out the other two coming out.

silk pivot
#

Why

frail grotto
misty stirrup
#

This might be the best just because at this point it is more likely to actually release...

median harness
#

If they use the same buttons as the Doot and software which has a CFW fork of amberelec. Anbnernic clam who knows when or what SOC it will have . Miyoo, if has a new SOC will there be CFW for it?

autumn fog
#

I'm more interested to know what colors are available on this one

quasi elbow
#

szdiier seems to have been going in on transparent coloured shells lately so i'm hoping for at least one of those

#

i would buy the shit out of it if they did it in one of the new D007 colours

still haven't seen one of those xD

quasi elbow
#

yeah me neither

autumn fog
#

have you seen them on 1688 reviews?

#

ah sht and they still won't send me pics either xD

#

They likely source from the same injection molding facility as the R3XS so probably same build quality and or color.

silent pewter
#

GIVE ME THAT PURBLEREDADW

pallid falcon
#

please remove the sticks and put a 1:1 in there

silent pewter
#

the best I got is no

#

though if they used the 4" 1:1 screen they'd probably have enough room to put the speaker on the front

tight minnow
#

yeah I'd actually prefer a taller screen on this to fill up all the empty space in the top half

#

The person sitting across from you will hear the game better than you will

tight minnow
#

lol right

#

rear firing speakers are a dealbreaker for any other handheld but it's amazing what I'd put up with for this form factor

next topaz
#

Apparently they did this on their last device too?

#

It's just such a simple thing that's already been figured out, it was an easy layup and they just fumbled

#

I could live with downfiring, I wouldn't like it but it would be better. This though I would say is a deal breaker

#

If it's the only GBA SP that ends up coming out maybe I'll eat my words, but I'm hoping one of the other two releases

#

It's not the only reason of course, it looks cheap as well, I know it's only a render but still

#

It is interesting they are opting for sliders though, I'm really curious how those are going to feel

#

Apparently the d-pad on their last device was just kind of meh, so I don't have much hope on this one

plucky thunder
#

I'm super hyped for this, the miyoo flip, and the clambernic

young tide

man ingenics chips....

#

oh.... my chat was still in the past kek

plucky thunder
#

more excited for this over the miyoo mini flip or the clambernic

#

sliders just make so much more sense than sticks for this

silent pewter
#

I'm willing to try the sliders, I like them on the retroid flip so they might not be that bad

plucky thunder
#

as long as they're good sliders, and it gets some good CFW or its good off stock, I bet this'll be the pick out all the flips

silent pewter
#

I'll be buying it if it's under $100

#

the droughts of this formfactor have brought us to desperation

next topaz
#

Crazy you would choose lower build quality and probably worse software just because of sliders

near ledge
#

it doesn't look slimmer than the miyoo flip. so what's the point of the sliders? surely nobody thinks they're better than regular sticks at anything except required height?

I still like this one the best. I have a doot and besides the screen gap. It is a great device. Good dpad. Great Buttons. Nice CFW now

#

all of the flips look promising to me in their own way so far but damn that backfiring speaker is hurting me

silent pewter
#

I’m probably gonna buy all three of the clamshells that we know of when they drop

#

That clamshell itch has been building over the past two decades

#

And the X18S and Retroid Flip can only do so much to fill that square clamshell void in my heart

median harness
#

I heard someone talk about a x19. I don't know if that is just someone joking or trolling.

silent pewter
#

I will dream

#

Honestly the worst part of the X18S was just the dodgy Dpad and face buttons

#

The big ole screen in that clamshell formfactor was fantastic

That is a way to get around the buttons

Neurotypical ppl cannot conceive how many times I have saved the world from impending doom or prevented my mother-in-law from appearing because of how many times I had to open/close my contact case or ensure the toilet paper tore at the exact perforations. Or how many sets of counting to 48 I did touching my fuking towel or light switch on the way out of a room. 😆😭

#

You have to touch the screw on the light switch faceplate a certain number of times in the right way and the final time has to feel right or you have to do it all over again while cussing yourself out and hating the entire fabric of your being just because if you don't the world will end and everyone will die. Or just me. Or someone I care about.

#

The R3xS factory tried the same, but they seem to run into the same problem, the device becoming too thick.

I do think if they used maybe a 4" 3:2 screen that'd increase the overall body size to make it work

wait so they didnt overcome it?

i took that to mean the plastic came out too thick for the hinge to fit/work properly

Let this one through. It deserves to be made because no other manufacturer has the balls to do it

gpd did make the XD plus before this community started. a launch in 2017, a refresh in 2018, and then letting the stock run out is about the best you can hope for.

silent pewter
#

but seriously other companies should just take the formfactor of the Shield and go nuts

glacial tundra
#

A clamshell with a stick but without recessed sticks or sliders seems beyond imagination now. The shield did it.

Nvidia need to stop messing about making loads of money on AI and get back to the important stuff. Handhelds.
