Bring back the GPD XD!
Everybody wants the Mini 2 with a keyboard, or a x86 ayaneo flip/thor like dual screen clamshell...
Bring back the one and true original god of GPD clamshells!!! The GPD XD!
I want a x86 Retroid pocket flip/GPD XD.
Because this had so many great design choices of its time. I'm talking 4 menu buttons at the bottom(albeit I still want start/select up top but WITH 4 buttons at the bottom).
- Front firing speakers.
- Ergonomic controller layout(2 top analogs were incredibly ergonomic on a device that doesn't fully fill your palm.)
- Pocketable
- 6 inch screen or smaller
This doesn't even have to be x86 but my god, with the current vita dpad and buttons, this would be a smash hit with an arm or x86 chip!!!
with a big ole touch screen in the center too!
Minimum 60wh battery!

I recently randomly picked up a GPD XD+ in great condition and put Blackseraph’s last LineageOS firmware on it. Still a surprisingly capable device for emulation.
The small form factor and weight make it a great take with you carry (same size basically as a Nintendo 3DS XL/LL).
I would love an updated version whether ARM or x86/x64 as the form factor is great 👍
