Anbernic’s RG Vita & RG Vita Pro Are Almost Here—Pre-Orders Start March 23
After teasing the devices nearly two months ago, Anbernic has finally locked in release details for the RG Vita and RG Vita Pro, with pre-orders kicking off March 23 at 6 AM EDT.
Pricing is aggressive during the launch window:
- RG Vita: $99.99 (first 72 hours), then $139.99
- RG Vita Pro: $109.99 (first 72 hours), then $149.99
The base RG Vita packs a 5.46″ 720p screen, UNISOC Tiger T618 chip, and runs Android 12—but reviewers are already calling out issues, especially the irony of not being able to smoothly emulate PS Vita games on a device that literally looks like one.
The RG Vita Pro, meanwhile, is the more promising option:
✅ 5.5″ Full HD screen
✅ Rockchip RK3576 + Mali-G52 MC3
✅ Dual-boot Android/Linux (including dev-friendly distros like ROCKNIX and GammaOS)
✅ USB-C display out + dual-screen support
Early reviewer feedback? Mixed—but the Linux build’s rough edges highlight why community-driven firmware could make or break the experience.
Will you grab one at launch—or wait for rumors of the even wilder RG Twist? 🕹️
