About This Hardware

The Anbernic RG SP is a clamshell retro gaming handheld announced in July 2026. Inspired by the Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP, it features a compact foldable design with a 3.4-inch 720x480 IPS display and dual alloy hinges. Anbernic markets it as a device focused on 2D gaming, equipped with tactile buttons and no analog sticks. The top bezel is 25% thinner than previous models, and the shell is finished in a premium metallic paint across four color options: pink, teal, black, and grey. It runs a Linux-based operating system and is designed for emulation of classic consoles. The RG SP follows earlier Anbernic clamshell handhelds like the RG35XX SP and RG34XX SP, but removes the analog sticks entirely to appeal to purists who prefer a traditional 2D control layout.
