Part 6/15:
Unboxing the Thor reveals a device that feels substantial—around 366 grams of premium-density plastic and metal. The textured black shell resists fingerprints better than older plastic designs, while the glass front glistens with smudges, prompting the probable need for screen protectors.
The hinge is a notable highlight: engineered with an entirely metal mechanism, it offers smooth operation with minimal wobble. The tension is perfectly calibrated for deliberate opening, and even with tiny lateral play, it’s a marked improvement over previous efforts like the Retroid Pocket flip series. Soft lock-in positions allow for comfortable viewing angles, and durability appears promising, though long-term testing remains ongoing.
