Anbernic RG 477M is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by Dimensity 8300 (8-core, 3.35 GHz), 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and Mali-G615 MC6 GPU. Features a 4.7" LTPS Touchscreen display (1280 x 960, 4:3). 5300 mAh battery and WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3. Runs Android.
At its heart sits the MediaTek Dimensity 8300, an eight-core ARM chip with four Cortex-A715 and four Cortex-A510 cores clocked from 2.2 up to 3.35 GHz. It is paired with a Mali-G615 MC6 GPU running at 1.4 GHz and 8 GB or 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Emulation reach is very wide: 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, arcade boards and vintage computers run alongside PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Saturn and PSP. GameCube, Wii and PS2 are playable, and Switch is mostly playable. A heatpipe, an active fan and ventilation cutouts help keep the chip cool under sustained load.
The 4.7-inch LTPS touchscreen runs at 1280 x 960 in a 4:3 aspect ratio, giving about 340 PPI and a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. The 4:3 format suits classic consoles and many retro computers especially well. The panel is protected by OCA-laminated tempered glass.
Controls include symmetric dual Hall Effect thumbsticks with L3/R3, an upper-placed cross D-pad and four face buttons. There are horizontal L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons, plus Home/Back, Menu, Power and dedicated volume buttons. Rumble and a gyroscope add extra immersion. The device measures 176 x 89.4 x 15.5–21.3 mm and weighs 354 g.
A 5300 mAh battery powers the system and charges over USB-C. The same port also provides video output for playing on a bigger screen. Dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 complete the package. Storage comes in 128 GB or 256 GB of UFS, expandable via microSD.
Running Android 14, the RG 477M gives access to a broad range of emulators, Android games and media apps. Modding is permitted, so enthusiasts can tweak and customize the software to their liking.
Ideal for: players who want a premium, metal-bodied Android handheld capable of everything from classic retro libraries to GameCube, Wii and PS2 emulation, with precise Hall Effect controls and a sharp 120 Hz 4:3 screen.
