    Budget Game Console R46S Launches to Compete with Powkiddy and Anbernic

    Powkiddy kick-started the 1:1 gaming handheld trend with the RGB30 (curr. $125.99 on Amazon) last year. Although it rolled out the RGB20SX, which is designed vertically, just a few months later, it has allowed competitors like Anbernic to introduce their own horizontal options, challenging the RGB30. Anbernic launched the RG Cube in the spring and recently offered the RG CubeXX as a more affordable choice. Additionally, Z-Pocket Game has been selling the ZPG A1 Unicorn in larger quantities throughout the summer.

    New Budget-Friendly Option

    Now, a new white-label device has emerged that is priced much lower than its better-known rivals. This device, known as the Game Console R46S, can be found on platforms like AliExpress for just over $55. It is no surprise that it features the same budget chipset that powers the Powkiddy RGB20 Pro and ZPG GKD Bubble.

    Specifications and Features

    The Game Console R46S is equipped with the Rockchip RK3566, along with 1 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 4,000 mAh battery. It also supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 4 connectivity, as well as dual MicroSD card slots and a mini HDMI port for connecting to an external monitor or television. The standout feature is its 4-inch IPS screen, which delivers a resolution of 720 x 720 pixels in a 1:1 aspect ratio.

    According to RetroHandhelds, the Game Console R46S is capable of emulating games from up to sixth generation home consoles and a few PlayStation Portable titles. The device is currently available with 64 GB and 128 GB MicroSD cards, priced at $56.29 and $59.62, respectively. As of now, the Game Console R46S is offered in solid white, translucent black, translucent orange, and translucent purple color options.

    Leaked: Live Images of Anbernic RG Cube Retro Gaming Handheld

    Some images of the upcoming Anbernic RG Cube retro gaming handheld have emerged ahead of its official launch. Although Anbernic has not officially announced the RG Cube yet, the images of the Anbernic RG Cube highlight some similarities between the product and the Powkiddy RGB30 and ZPG A1.

    The first details of the Anbernic RG Cube retro gaming handheld surfaced online a few days back. More details have subsequently emerged for the RG35XX SP, another retro gaming handheld that might be released soon. Several Anbernic employees have reportedly shared new photos of the RG Cube, further illuminating the upcoming model. The Anbernic RG Cube comes with two joysticks and shares the same button layout with the ZPG A1 Unicorn yet to be released. The layout is different from the Powkiddy RGB30.

    Technical Specifications

    The RG Cube gaming handheld has a d-pad, with its right-hand joystick sandwiched between the YXAB buttons and the Start/ Select buttons. The handheld is powered by the Unisoc T820 processor, already present in the Anbernic RG556. The Unisoc T820 chipset integrates the ARM Cortex-A76 CPU core @ 2.7GHz, three Cortex-A76 cores @ 2.3GHz, and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 2.1GHz. Based on its architecture, the Anbernic RG Cube is more powerful than some of the current Anbernic gaming handhelds such as the RG35XX Plus.
