    Anbernic RG P01: Affordable Wireless Controller with Hall Effect Joysticks

    Typically, Anbernic puts out a new gadget each month. But this October, they’re doing things a bit differently. Just a week ago, they launched the RG CubeXX (currently priced at $119.99 on Amazon) worldwide.

    New Arrival: RG P01

    Now, it’s time for the RG P01, which will have a special starting price until November 12. This date also marks the start of shipping for pre-sale orders. The controller will be priced at no more than $17.99, yet it has a lot of features that many similar devices don’t offer.

    Connectivity and Features

    The RG P01 supports various connectivity options, including 2.4 GHz wireless, wired, and Bluetooth through the Bluetooth 5.3 standard. For clarity, these options provide polling rates of 200 Hz, 400 Hz, and 150 Hz, respectively. Moreover, Anbernic has incorporated Hall effect joysticks and triggers, RGB lighting, plus two macro buttons located at the back.

    Battery Life and Design

    Additionally, the RG P01 comes with a 600 mAh battery that can last for 8 hours during gameplay, whether on X-input, Android, or Switch modes. Anbernic has chosen conductive rubber for the controller’s d-pad, ABXY buttons, and shoulder buttons. Right now, the RG P01 is offered in three colors: Black, Beige White, and Radiant Purple.

  • Anbernic RG CubeXX: Compact Handheld for Dreamcast, N64, PS1 Emulation

    Anbernic RG CubeXX: Compact Handheld for Dreamcast, N64, PS1 Emulation

    Anbernic has begun offering the RG CubeXX as a more affordable option compared to the RG Cube, which is currently priced at $196.99 on Amazon and was released in the late spring. True to form, Anbernic has made the new gaming handheld available in three color choices, known as Black, Grey, and White. Additionally, these options can be customized with one of four memory configurations.

    Performance Comparison

    In essence, the RG CubeXX is significantly less powerful than its predecessor, the RG Cube. Anbernic has fitted the RG CubeXX with the same Allwinner H700 chipset used in various devices from the RG35XX series. Moreover, it comes with 1 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, which is a standard feature in this price range.

    Gaming Capabilities

    Due to these specifications, the RG CubeXX is expected to handle games from platforms like Dreamcast, N64, and PS1, with some PSP games also playable. However, it remains uncertain whether the device’s 720p screen will impact emulation performance when compared to the 480p display found in RG35XX series devices. For context, the RG CubeXX includes a 3.95-inch IPS display that maintains a 1:1 aspect ratio.

    Pricing and Options

    At present, the starting price for Anbernic’s newest gaming handheld is $59.99, which includes a 32 GB MicroSD card in any of the three color options. It’s important to note that this price will increase to $66.99 on October 25. Furthermore, customers can opt for larger MicroSD cards of 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB at prices of $67.99, $74.99, and $89.99, respectively.

    Anbernic Handheld: Release Date and Pricing Details Revealed

    Anbernic is getting ready to launch its newest gaming handheld device. The company has been quick to share this news, having only revealed the device late last week. The RG406V, which is currently priced at $226.99 on Amazon, is still a fresh release, being less than a month old.

    Upcoming Release Date

    Despite the recent release of the RG406V, the RG CubeXX is set to arrive by the end of this month. However, it’s still unclear if Anbernic will also debut the RG P01 controller in October. At this time, details about the RG P01’s launch are not available. But RetroHandhelds has confirmed that the RG CubeXX will go on sale starting at 10:00 UTC on October 22.

    Pricing Information

    Anbernic is planning to set the price for the RG CubeXX at a starting rate of $60, not including shipping. This initial price will be in effect until October 25, after which it will increase to $67. To sum up, here are the key hardware details of the RG CubeXX:

  • Anbernic RG P01: Official 2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Wireless Controller

    Anbernic RG P01: Official 2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Wireless Controller

    Anbernic has announced all the details for its upcoming retro gaming handheld, the RG CubeXX. Typically, the company launches a new product every month, but this might not hold true for October. They have yet to confirm anything, and they also have not officially unveiled their first wireless controller, which is set to be named the RG P01.

    Design Inspiration and Features

    The RG P01 closely resembles the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C (currently priced at $29.99 on Amazon). In this way, the design of the RG P01 takes a lot from 8BitDo’s button configuration, including the four buttons next to Anbernic’s logo. However, unlike the Ultimate 2C, Anbernic’s logo does not function as an extra button.

    Connectivity and Functionality

    Additionally, the RG P01 features RGB backlit joysticks and vertical LED connection indicators. Anbernic’s first controller offers both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.3 capabilities, supporting a variety of devices such as Android, iOS, Steam, Switch, and Windows. It’s also noted that the RG P01 is equipped with two programmable macro buttons located on the back.

    Performance Uncertainties

    That being said, these buttons have not been highlighted in any promotional content so far. It remains unclear how well the controller’s d-pad will perform or what its latency will be when using 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth. Furthermore, Anbernic has not released any info regarding joystick dead zones or if they experience cardinal snapping, a problem seen in some of their previous retro gaming handhelds.

  • Anbernic Reveals Full Specs of RG CubeXX Retro Gaming Handheld

    Anbernic Reveals Full Specs of RG CubeXX Retro Gaming Handheld

    Hardly any time has gone by since Anbernic unveiled the RG CubeXX. However, the company has quickly moved forward to confirm all important specifications for the device. As anticipated, the RG CubeXX resembles the RG Cube, but it shares much of its internal components with the newer RG35XX models, such as the RG35XX SP (currently priced at $76.99 on Amazon).

    Specifications Overview

    Anbernic has outfitted the RG CubeXX with the Allwinner H700, which is a common feature in many of its budget-friendly retro gaming handhelds released in late 2023. Therefore, the RG CubeXX boasts four ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores and a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Additionally, with 1 GB LPDDR4 RAM, this device should be powerful enough to emulate sixth-generation home video game consoles like the Dreamcast, GameCube, and some PlayStation Portable titles.

    Battery and Display Features

    In addition, the RG CubeXX comes with a 3,800 mAh battery that Anbernic claims can last up to 6.5 hours on a single charge. The device is also equipped with a 3.95-inch IPS display that supports a resolution of 720 x 720 pixels with a 1:1 aspect ratio. Notably, the RG CubeXX can connect to an external display while using a wireless controller, thanks to its built-in Bluetooth 4.2 support. While Anbernic hasn’t announced a specific release date yet, it appears that the RG CubeXX will launch later this month.
