Less than a week ago, a picture of a rumored Anbernic gaming handheld showed up on Chinese social media. This unnamed device is thought to be one of nearly a dozen gadgets that Anbernic plans to release this year, following the RG34XX SP and RG557 (currently $339.99 on Amazon). In brief, this mysterious gadget looks like a modern Xperia Play, featuring a slide-up display and hidden controls.
Anbernic’s New Design
Now, it appears that Anbernic might be working on a second device with a similar design, but with an extra display. According to the information that’s come to light, it looks like Anbernic is drawing inspiration from the PSP Go for its design. However, the so-called Anbernic Slide includes an additional screen and a control layout that seems to be influenced by the Nintendo 3DS.
Key Details Still Uncertain
At this moment, specifics about the device remain unclear, including the chipset that Anbernic will use or when it might hit the market. Some speculate that this new device could also function as a smartphone, which might also apply to Anbernic’s other rumored sliding gaming handheld if it uses the same MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset as the RG557. Considering how quickly Anbernic rolls out new devices, we might not be shocked to see them start promoting a new gaming handheld before the month wraps up.
