Hold onto your wallets, handheld enthusiasts. It is officially the wildest week for portable gaming since the great RAMpocalypse of last year. We’ve got the Retroid Pocket Nova launching tonight, the AYANEO Pocket Micro 2 already sold out, and now Anbernic is circling back with the RG 55G1.
Anbernic just dropped its first real hands-on video, which is a welcome change from the usual polished 3D renders. The clip gives us a quick peek at the device in action, followed by close-ups of the three available color options. It’s a stylish little tease, though they haven’t revealed much beyond aesthetics.
Here’s the real tea, though: an unconfirmed Geekbench listing suggests the RG 55G1 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip and runs Android 14. If accurate, this marks a major shift for Anbernic, potentially making it their first handheld to use a Qualcomm processor.
While pricing and a release date remain under wraps, the timing suggests we’ll get those details soon. With three major launches happening in such a short window, the question is no longer just about specs—it’s about which handheld actually deserves your cash this week. Are you still interested, or have you already pledged your allegiance to the Pocket Nova?
