HANDHELD GAMING

Anbernic released the RG SP, a clamshell handheld that brings the classic Game Boy Advance SP form factor to modern retro gaming. This compact device matters because it offers a portable, low-cost entry point for players who prefer the hinged design over traditional slide-out controllers. The 168-gram build makes it easy to carry, while the included specs suggest it targets budget-conscious collectors.

The RG SP runs on the Allwinner H700 system-on-chip paired with 1GB of RAM. This hardware choice defines the device's performance ceiling, supporting -based operating systems optimized for ARM architecture. The clamshell layout houses a 3.4-inch display that delivers a 720 x 480 resolution at 254 PPI. This screen size and aspect ratio provide a familiar viewing experience for retro enthusiasts.

Storage flexibility stands out as a key feature, with the device supporting two microSD cards for expanded game libraries. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 for controller pairing and updates. The hardware also features a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C port, and a 3300mAh battery to sustain play sessions. These ports ensure compatibility with standard accessories and charging methods.

Pricing varies by retailer, ranging from 59.96 USD (around $59.96) on AliExpress to 84.99 USD (around $84.99) on Amazon. The device is available globally, with shipping expected to commence in 2026.
