The new ANBERNIC RG28XX retro console is now available, a very compact machine with a screen of only 2.83 inches.
A console that we can take anywhere thanks to its dimensions of only 125 x 565 x 165 mm and a weight that stays at 186 grams. On the other hand, its small screen does not make it suitable for all audiences or ages, although curiously it includes a miniHDMI port in case we want to connect it to the TV. An interesting hardware if we want above all portability.
This Anbernic has a Linux-based system and its SoC Allwinner H700 has the power to move with ease all 16 Bit consoles , PS1 and Arcade machines. It is supposed to be able to emulate even many PSP, N64 and Dreamcast titles, although as always it will depend on its optimization.
ANBERNIC RG28XX Specifications
The console is powered by a low power consumption SoC Allwinner H700. A chip with 4 ARM Cortex-A53 processors capable of reaching 1.5 Ghz and an ARM MALI-G31 MP2 GPU with support for video up to HDR10.
This console includes on board 1 GB of LPDDR4 RAM. For storage we have available two micro SD card readers up to 512 GB for OS and game storage. A 64 GB card is included with the OS and about 5500 games.
Display and other notable features
We have in the ANBERNIC RG28XX a horizontal screen with a size of 2.83 inches and resolution of 640×480 pixels. The internal battery is 3200mAh capable of lasting up to 8 of gameplay according to the brand and recharged by a dedicated USB Type-C port.
