The Pocket Flip 2 runs Android 13 (Snapdragon 865, or the later Dimensity 1100 variant) with official OTA support, so updates come through Retroid Pocket FOTA under Settings > System. Connect Wi-Fi, charge up, tap Check Version, then download and install. To apply a Retroid-supplied ZIP manually, open the FOTA app, tap the three vertical dots, choose Local update and Select Update Package. The latest stock build seen for the SD865 model is around V1.0.0.117. As a 2025 device the official software page is sparse, so verify your build in About and use only Retroid's files.
