Comparison of Retroid Classic and Flip pricing
Thought it would be interesting to look at a price comparison between Retroid's pricing in China versus international pricing. For this price comparison, I'm going to take the current exchange rate which according to google is 1 USD = 7.24 CNY as my baseline. I'd like to thank and credit kencyf for showing me the chinese prices. Source material is at the bottom.
| Device | Price in USD | China market price in CNY | China market price converted from CNY to USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flip 2 SD865 | $219 Preorder/$229 Regular | ¥1548 Preorder/¥1648 Regular | $213.88 Preorder/$227.69 Regular |

| Classic 6/128 | $124 Preoder/$129 Regular | ¥848 Preorder/¥948 Regular | $117.16 Preorder/$130.98 Regular |

Some quick thoughts on pricing.
- For the most part regular prices in China versus the rest of the world is pretty close to each other according to current conversion rates.
- The biggest difference seems to be in preorder pricing since Retroid is taking a flat 100 CNY off for each device besides the combo deal. Thus, the preorder price for the Classic 6+64 variant is close to $100 in China after conversion rates.
- These prices are much better than the Miyoo Flip launch in which the flip launched for roughly $45-50 in China while selling on aliexpress for $78 at launch and $90 on Amazon.
