Anbernic has launched a new retro gaming handheld after a quiet start this year. Following the RG556’s return with the RG557 last month, the company has now shifted focus to a device that incorporates features from both the RG35XX SP and the RG34XX, which was introduced in December (currently priced at $84.98 on Amazon). In brief, Anbernic has disclosed that the RG34XX SP comes equipped with the following hardware:
Caution with Charging
It’s important to be careful while charging the RG34XX SP, just like with the RG35XX SP. Currently, we suggest using a USB Type-A to Type-C cable, preferably the one provided by Anbernic, due to the well-known charging problems linked to the RG35XX SP. Interestingly, Anbernic has mentioned that the RG34XX SP is expected to last around 6 hours on a single charge, which is two hours less than the RG35XX SP, even though they share the same chipset and battery capacity.
Dimensions and Weight
Anbernic has also confirmed the dimensions of its newest handheld, which measures 83 x 82 x 25 mm and weighs 178 g. In comparison, the RG35XX SP is larger at 89 x 85 x 27 mm and weighs 192 g. Regardless of these differences, the RG34XX SP has received positive feedback in early reviews. Adin Walls and TechDweeb have complimented its display, design, and hinge mechanism, among other features.
Pricing and Availability
The Anbernic RG34XX SP is available for global orders starting at $59.99 until May 21. After this date, the price is expected to increase to $66.99. As of the publication date, Anbernic has stock in all four color choices, along with optional 128 GB and 256 GB microSD cards. For further details, check out the company’s website.
