Miyoo Mini Horizontal SPECS Known So Far:  It seems like the Miyoo Mini Horizontal is a completely different handheld than the Miyoo Mini V1/V2/V3.  As such,  it will not run the wildly populad MiniUI or OnionOS custom options.  SPECS From Miyoo If the above Specs stand, it will be more powerful than the Miyoo Mini and will include a thumb-stick.  SoC: RK3128 (RGHANDHELDS.COM Estimate) OS: Linux CPU: 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 (4 Cores, 4 Threads) Architecture: ARM GPU: 500 MHz Mali-400 MP2 D-Pad: Upper Cross Thumb-stick: Single Lower Face Buttons: 4 Shell: Plastic Original Screen Shot Via RetroGameCorps.com   Related Posts:  https://www.retrokezins.com/2022/07/new-horizontal-miyoo-mini-model.html

  The Miyoo P60 is an upcoming device from Miyoo expected to release this summer at some point. Specs are assumed and could change when released. The first place it will become available is on the AliExpress Miyoo Official Store: MIYOO Official Store https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqUo4A6 Miyoo P60 Assumed Specs  Brand: Miyoo Form Factor: Landscape  OS: Android 9 Emulation Performance: Should Handle Up to PSP/Dreamcast With No Problems And "Some" PS2 Using AetherSX2  SoC: MediaTek Helio P60 CPU: Cortex-A73 (4x), Cortex-A53 (4x) CPU Cores: 8 CPU Threads: 8  CPU Clock Speed: 2.0 GHz Architecture: ARM GPU: Mali-G72 MP3 GPU Clock: 800 MHz RAM: 3GB DDR4 Screen: 5:3 Aspect 4" IPS Touch-Screen 800x480 (256.12 PPI) Battery: 4000 mAh Cooling: Air Vents D-pad: Upper Cross Analogs: Dual Lower Thumb-sticks w/ R3/L3 Face Buttons: 4 Shoulder Buttons: 4 side by side Other Buttons: Home, Back, Power Charging: USB-C (Top) Storage: 32GB Internal eMCP, External microSD Connectivity: Bluetooth,

 It looks like the Black Variant of the V2 Miyoo Mini is now sold out at the official store on AliExpress. At the moment, they have only 39 of the transparent blue left, 74 of the retro grey and 163 of the white left. I expect the transparent blue to be out by tomorrow. No word yet from Miyoo about when a restock is coming but I'm sure one is on the way.  Since releasing at the end of 2021, the Miyoo Mini's popularity has been drastically higher than anyone including Miyoo could have predicted... I'd still suggest waiting for a restock if you are interested in the Black shell. Most of the other places selling the Mini are just drop shipping them at a higher price.  Store Link Below (Disclosure: this link does not have any affiliate codes embedded and I don't benefit from any sales) US $58.00 | MIYOO MINI V2 Portable Retro Handheld Game Console 2.8Inch IPS HDScreen Video Game Consoles Linux System Classic Gaming Emulator https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0S3SUm My V1 Miyoo Mini

 Update: As of August 1 2022, the Miyoo P60 appears to still be delayed due to software testing issues according to Miyoo... There are quite a few handhelds still coming out this year, but none have my interest as much as the Miyoo P60 due to pocketability and Miyoo's dedication to improving their products.  Prior to the Miyoo Mini, I didn't have a lot of confidence in products that Miyoo was involved in like the PocketGo S30 and BittBoy handhelds, but they've proven they are invested in supporting their products with the Mini which has drastically improved since the day it released.  While a lot of companies like Anbernic  have products that have crept up into premium level pricing, the P60 looks to be headed towards budget pricing and will likely compete with the Retroid Pocket 2 Plus and Retroid Pocket 3.    We've been talking about the P60 for a while now too. It seems the delay in release has to do with Miyoo ironing out some software issues which is honestly great

  I went ahead and ordered a V2 Miyoo Mini in blue this time. It looks a lot better than the toothpaste white V1 version I'm using now.  The V2 has a better screen,  improved d-pad/face button action and slightly better battery Performance, so it was hard to say no. Hopefully I receive it within 3-4 weeks so I can let you know.  I feel like the V2 still at the sub $60 pricepoint with a few slight improvements paired with the much improved OnionOS CFW will likely bump things up to a 9/10 type Score from me. https://www.retrokezins.com/2021/12/miyoo-mini-review-micro-retro-game.html

 The market is packed full of "cheap" handhelds, but there aren't many under $60 that are actually good. Two that stick far out of the crowd are the PowKiddy V90 (I have three of them) and the Miyoo Mini (I only have 2 for now). Your best option for ordering either of these at a reasonable price is from the official PowKiddy and Miyoo stores on AliExpress. There are two new versions of the Mini coming out soon as well (translucent blue and translucent black).  Miyoo Mini  The Miyoo Mini sells for between $50 and $60 on average and is well worth the price. The ergonomic design has a premium feel and good for long gaming seasons which is unusual for a handheld this small. Flashing CFW on the Mini is essential and not the most user friendly process so I can only highly recommend this device to people who are fluent in firmware flashing processes or willing to read directions and learn.  My Miyoo Mini Review (Hasn't Been Updated for the latest OnionOS): https://www.retrok

 It looks like the V2 Miyoo Mini will be coming out in a cool see through blue shell pretty soon!  Miyoo can go ahead and take my money now. Looks great! The Mini was definitely a decent surprise for me and the best purchase I've made in a while when it comes to retro handhelds. Can't wait for the Miyoo P60 to release as well which should be a competitor of the Retroid Pocket 2 Plus.  https://www.reddit.com/r/MiyooMini/comments/ul5d1u/miyoo_mini_blue_version/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Miyoo Mini (V1) Review: https://www.retrokezins.com/2021/12/miyoo-mini-review-micro-retro-game.html

The score I'd say now should be updated to 8.5/10.  They are tough to find,  so definitely keep an eye out on the next Miyoo restock.] [UPDATE 12/28: The 3rd Update from Miyoo moderately improves audio issues and RetroArch settings now take effect, so improvements have happened.  It looks like Miyoo used some code from Shaun Inman's work in the new update (without anyone knowing)]  *Using Update 20211226, I'm upgrading my Score on the Miyoo Mini from a 7.8/10 to a 8/10 .  Hopefully we see even more improvements in the near future...There are issues with RA Autosaves crashing games and an assortment of oddities but the latest firmware is an improvement. Some good CFW is really needed. Also appears some emulators are not utilizing screen resolution yet as they are using upscaling to the resolution, but the scali

The above photo of the upcoming Miyoo Mini appeared on Baidu demonstrating how tiny this upcoming handheld is.  I'm cautiously looking forward to the Miyoo Mini but don't expect a lot considering the Miyoo/BittBoy track record of quality is not stellar. If the price is around $50 or below at launch,  it could be a fun budget option. The expected release was the end of November which is now so we'll see if it actually comes out or is another victim of parts shortages...
