Anbernic RG SP is a compact clamshell retro handheld launched in 2026, built around the quad-core Allwinner H700 chip with 1 GB LPDDR4 RAM. Its folding design protects a laminated 3.4-inch IPS screen at 720 x 480. A 3300 mAh battery, WiFi 5, rumble and dual microSD slots round out the package. Running Linux, it shines with classic systems from Game Boy to PlayStation. At a reference price of around 65 USD, it is an affordable, pocket-friendly flip handheld.

The Anbernic RG SP is a clamshell handheld launched in 2026 that brings the flip-style form factor to the affordable segment, with a reference price of around 65 USD. Inside is the Allwinner H700, a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor running at 1.5 GHz. It is paired with a dual-core Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of LPDDR4 memory.

This hardware is a natural fit for 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit classics: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive and PlayStation. The platform list also includes Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo GameCube. On this chip, however, these more demanding systems are best treated as a bonus, with results varying from game to game.

The 3.4-inch IPS screen runs at 720 x 480 with a 3:2 aspect ratio, a density of about 255 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. It sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass. The 3:2 format is a great match for Game Boy Advance games, and the folding design keeps the screen protected in a pocket or bag.

On the controls side, the RG SP offers a cross D-pad placed up top, four face buttons and horizontally oriented L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. There are no analog sticks, which limits comfort in 3D games on Nintendo 64, PSP or Dreamcast. You also get Menu, Power and Reset buttons, dedicated volume buttons and rumble. The console measures 83 x 82 x 23.9 mm, weighs 168 g and has a plastic body.

The 3300 mAh battery charges through a top-facing USB-C port. The 3.5 mm headphone jack sits on the bottom, and audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker. Wireless connectivity covers WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2.

The console runs Linux, and its dual microSD slots let you keep the system separate from your game library, making organization easier and storage flexible.

Ideal for: players who want a compact, inexpensive flip handheld for Game Boy, GBA, SNES, Mega Drive and PlayStation, with a protected screen that is easy to take anywhere.
