Miyoo v2 The myth, the legend, the instigator...

A little Handheld, which have claimed quite a following.

Much fanfare was had in 2022 with the release of this little "retro-handheld" device. Especially once Onion OS made its existence known. For much of 2022 it was the de facto handheld in many a youtube channels. It became so popular that it almost attained unicorn status with how unobtainable it became. Partly due to scalpers, but also from the lack of screens at the factory.

The cost was driven up and it became more of a status symbol among certain circles.

Miyoo Mini v3 Here's a thought...

v1, had smaller buttons, phone battery etc.

v2, was as inconsistent with screens as a junkie is with paying their dealer, but had newer shell, battery, buttons etc.

v3, and heres the kicker... Was the BOYA chip debacle

v4, worst kinks ironed out and more consistent in between batches. (usb-c to usb-c, new actuators for menu, select, start and shoulders, New screen res.)

Then we would finally have a definable v3?

Worst thing happening with v4 so far was the lack of firmware for the screen at release (which has been fixed) and then the disco screen batch late autumn 2023 (which was one batch and only in an unknown percentage of trans blacks).

Would be nice to finally lay the v3 discussions to rest...

Miyoo Mini Plus The older brother, bigger and better... In some ways

Miyoo Mini v4 Much are improved with the V4, except the screen, which currently doesnt conform to the primary output of the MB. Which there are now both [firmware] for and [Onion] team have made a working solution aswell, which is included in latest Onion beta 4.3.0

Summarized Theres the OG Miyoo Mini V1 (small one with a phone battery),

then the [V2] (New screen, among several regarded as the one with the best screen. small one aswell),

then in some circles a UNICORN "v3" appeared(one with so little in difference that it was practically the same, also small one)... Maybe the Boya batch was the v3 all along?

THEN came the [Plus](Big one).

and theeeeeeeeen the v4(small one aswell), which is a revamp of the v2 with a new screen, slightly different shell, usbc=usbc and new actuators on the board for shoulders, menu, select and start.

EDIT: One note though, consistency is not a virtue, mostly in the small renditions of the og mini line (v1-V2), among Miyoo handhelds. Theres basically differerence between every single batch of the. The Plus is more conform between batches. But still, be aware of the dreaded Boya chip.

In development, rumored or announced... If you would believe it,

a horizontal and

a flip

is starting to peek up behind the horizon. Some claiming release of the first or possibly both as soon as this year.

Things to be aware of...

v1 have a phone battery. And v2/v3 have cable battery. V2/V3 is basically the same. Mostly confusion between discrepancies between batches.

Miyoo production up unto the Miyoo plus have been very Inconsistent in general

Some batches had the dreaded boya chip. Some had one kind of blackberry screen, some different hues in colourization of the shells

there is no set fact for how a Miyoo v2-v3 is. You can have 3-4 wildly different Miyoo v2

And during the shortage of screens, alot of scammers, scalpers and resellers threw random words into the mix and have completely messed up definitions of the v2 era

So its best to ignore any idea about a so called v3. Because then there might aswell be a V2.5 v2.8 and 2.9
