The handheld console market is so competitive that you have to do something really special to stand out. Anbernic is a specialist in this, having already launched several devices capable of offering a good experience at a low price.
This Chinese manufacturer specializes in one thing: creating clones of the Game Boy, Nintendo’s classic console. A good percentage of their devices are based on the same design, with modifications to adapt it to the needs of today’s gamers; so it’s no surprise that its newest model, the RG Nano, also follows the same steps. The big difference is in the size
And it is that the RG Nano is one of the smallest portable consoles on the market; Although it is not so small that it can be carried in a wallet, for example, it takes up so little space that it comes with an integrated key ring to carry it with our keys.
The ultra-portable console
In raw data, the RG Nano measures only 68 x 42 mm and therefore it is so small that it fits in the palm of our hand; in fact, it’s not only smaller than any handheld console released by major manufacturers, it’s even smaller than the memory cards some of the home consoles used to use before.
You would think that this reduced size was achieved by sacrificing power and functionality, but we would be wrong. The RG Nano is based on an Allwinner K3S processor, which is powerful enough to run games from the era of the first PlayStation
Another impressive thing about the RG Nano is that it manages to have more buttons than the Game Boy, offering four buttons and a D-pad on the front, as well as two top buttons on either side of the console. It also has a USB-C port, which is used to recharge the 1,050 mAh battery or transfer files; In addition to being a video game console, it is also serves as a music player or clockwhich makes it particularly useful to always have it on hand.
The RG Nano will be available on the Anbernic website from June 13. Its price has not yet been announced, but it is expected that it will not be too high, in line with the rest of the brand’s products.
