The issues with version 1 of the Miyoo Mini Flip have been well documented on Discord, Reddit and elsewhere online, the main one of which was the stiff, hard to open and close and not very durable hinge not to mention the shell of the machine in the darker colours being prone to fingerprints and smudging.
Well there is now a version 2 of the Flip which I recently received, it is better? Let's see......
The first thing to comment on is that the hinge has been upgraded to a more durable one made of metal, and I agree it definitely does feel longer lasting, it is still hard to open and close the machine but it's not now accompanied by the loud clicking found on version 1. However many owners of the grey coloured Flip are still reporting massive issues with the hinge breaking completely after a short space of time.
The shell has also been improved and is now less prone to smudging and fingerprints, although as you can see from the photo I chose the white one this time around which doesn't really suffer from this problem.
On the device itself, the controls have been improved and are now less loud and clicky than before and lastly the stock firmware has been improved although I've no experience of this as have transferred over my SD card containing the MinUI custom firmware.
So to sum up, yes version two of the Flip is a huge improvement, custom firmware is still limited for the machine although support for the SpruceOS custom firmware is being worked on currently so will check that out when a stable version is released and let you know my thoughts.
