ANBERNIC's latest retro handheld is here, and it's available to buy on their website today for $57.99 (early bird price), with immediate shipping. It's called the RG SP, a slimlined version of their older clamshell handhelds with 90% new moulds, 10% slimmer body and less screen bezels.
The specifications are the same, but it's edging closer and closer to feeling like an original GBA SP, especially considering that they have just revealed two new colours to match the colours of previous GBA SPs, such as Pearl Blue and Pearl Pink, offering that nostalgic metallic look that is uncommon in modern-day devices.
RG SP Specifications
- 3.4" IPS Display (720 x 480)
- 1.5Ghz H700 Quad-core CPU
- Dual-core G31 GPU
- 1GB RAM
- 3300MAH Battery
- Linux OS
- WiFi/Bluetooth
This is the type of device that you specifically purchase for GBA games in an authentic manner, while looking at other retro gaming emulators such as NES, GB, and Neo Geo, and PS1 as a bonus, anything more, and this processor won't take, alongside the lack of an analogue stick. This is for the GBA SP lovers who want a sleek, refined version of the GBA SP with emulation capabilities.
ANBERNIC has released the RG SP today, with a 3-day early bird pricing of $57.99; this will increase to $64.99 once the early bird ends. Grab it while you can, or wait a couple of weeks for our full review. Our sample unit is on the way.
