Anbernic RG DS Plus is a clamshell retro handheld released in 2026, built around the quad-core Rockchip RK3568 with Mali-G52 2EE graphics and 1 GB RAM. Its 4.3-inch IPS touchscreen, running at 1024 x 768 in a 4:3 aspect ratio, comes paired with an integrated capacitive stylus, making it a natural fit for touch-driven Nintendo DS games as well as classic consoles. A 4000 mAh battery, WiFi 5, dual microSD slots, gyroscope, rumble and Linux round out a package positioned at around 95 USD.

The Anbernic RG DS Plus runs on the Rockchip RK3568, a quad-core Cortex-A55 chip clocked at 2.0 GHz, paired with a dual-core Mali-G52 2EE GPU and 1 GB of RAM. Its platform list starts with Game Boy, NES and Sega Genesis, moves through PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS, and reaches Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation Portable and Sega Saturn, also naming Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 2. With a modest chip and only 1 GB of memory, the classic generations and DS are its comfort zone, while the most demanding systems on the list will push this hardware the hardest.

The 4.3-inch IPS touchscreen runs at 1024 x 768, roughly 298 ppi, 60 Hz and a 4:3 aspect ratio, a natural match for retro games designed for old televisions. Tempered glass with OCA lamination keeps the image crisp, and the clamshell form factor protects the screen when the device is closed. The integrated capacitive stylus makes touch input a natural part of the experience.

Controls include a cross D-pad placed up top, a single analog stick with L3 positioned lower, four face buttons and horizontally arranged L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. Home, Back, Power, Reset and dedicated volume buttons complete the layout, while rumble and a gyroscope add feedback and motion control. The device measures 167 x 96 x 24 mm, weighs 345 g and uses a plastic body.

The battery is rated at 4000 mAh, and two USB-C ports sit on the top edge. The 3.5mm headphone jack is on the bottom, dual stereo speakers face the front, and a built-in microphone broadens interaction options. Connectivity covers WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2, while dual microSD slots provide generous room for your game collection.

The operating system is Linux, with brightness adjusted through the menu and volume handled by dedicated buttons. The Linux base and microSD storage make the RG DS Plus a flexible platform for organizing an emulation library.

Ideal for: Nintendo DS fans who want a touchscreen with an integrated stylus, players who prefer a compact clamshell design, and classic console enthusiasts looking for a versatile device at around 95 USD.
