A social-media rumor hints that Retroid is preparing a Pocket Flip 3, a dual-screen handheld expected in the second half of 2026. The chatter references a reply from the Retroid Pocket Handheld account and notes ongoing speculation about a likely Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and how the device might compare with rivals like the AYN Thor, though no official confirmation has been issued.
ASUS’s ROG Zephyrus Duo is a trailblazing, if extravagantly expensive, gaming laptop built around a detachable keyboard and two 16-inch 3K OLED displays that split duties between gaming and on-screen widgets. It can be configured up to an RTX 5090 with 32GB RAM and 1TB storage, but upgrading GPU only nudges the price higher without more RAM/storage. In practice it delivers strong performance (e.g., 75fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p, 124fps in Control) and surprisingly solid battery life for a dual-display machine (about 13 hours in office tasks; a few hours of untethered gaming with both screens). However, it’s bulky and noisy under load, lacks Thunderbolt 5 and a wired Ethernet jack, and its $4,500–$7,000 price range makes it a niche luxury rather than a mass-market buy.
Verge’s review praises the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 2026 as a wild, premium dual‑screen gaming laptop: two 16‑inch OLEDs, RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, a top‑tier Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB soldered RAM, and a 1TB SSD, plus a removable keyboard/trackpad and a 90Wh battery, all for about $5,500. It excels at multitasking and gaming on the go, but it’s extremely heavy and expensive, throttles around 135W vs. the 150W peak, and comparatively pricey rivals offer better raw performance. It’s a niche, spectacle‑driven machine rather than a practical buy for most, though it remains the undisputed champ of dual‑screen laptops for enthusiasts.
Lenovo announced the Yoga Book Pro 3D Concept at MWC 2026, a glasses-free, dual 3.2K OLED laptop aimed at 3D creators, packing an RTX 5070 GPU and Intel Core Ultra 7. The top display supports gesture-based 3D asset manipulation via an RGB camera, while a bottom secondary screen and quirky accessory frames enable on-screen tools and 3D workflow tricks. For now it’s a demo with no market release promise, and the gesture controls can be imperfect, but the concept presents a forward-looking package for future creator laptops.
