🎮 Anbernic RG34XXSP – The New Clamshell Handheld with a Familiar Twist!

Hey fam! 👋


Guess what? Anbernic just dropped their newest retro gaming handheld, the RG34XXSP—and if you think it looks a little familiar, you’re not wrong. This clamshell gaming device comes with a 3.4-inch screen, solid controls, and the perfect aspect ratio for Game Boy Advance games. But is it a game-changer, or just an imitation of the Miyoo Flip? Let’s break it down so even your kid cousin or your tech-challenged uncle can get the vibe. 🎮👇


🖥️ A Screen Built for Retro Goodness

We’re looking at a 3.4-inch IPS display with a 720×480 resolution, sitting at a 3:2 aspect ratio—which means GBA games scale perfectly at 3x resolution. That means no weird stretching or black bars—just clean, pixel-perfect nostalgia!

Oh, and it's OCA full-laminated, meaning better clarity and less glare compared to older screens.


⚡ Powering Up – What’s Inside?

🔹 Processor: H700 Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53 (1.5GHz)

🔹 GPU: Dual-Core Mali-G31 MP2

🔹 RAM: 2GB LPDDR4

🔹 Storage: 64GB microSD included, plus dual microSD slots (expand up to 512GB!)

🔹 Battery: 3300mAh (~6 hours of playtime)

🔹 OS: Linux 64-bit

It’s not blowing the competition away, but for retro handheld gaming? This setup is more than enough for smooth emulation across multiple consoles.


🎮 Familiar, But Different

At first glance, the RG34XXSP looks a lot like the Miyoo Flip—but there are a few key differences.

Centered screen: Unlike the Miyoo Flip and GBA SP, Anbernic moved the display to the middle of the clamshell. Some folks might prefer the older design for better viewing angles, but this keeps the bezels clean.

Updated controls: Expect a solid D-pad, two recessed analog sticks, and a redesigned joypad that mimics the Miyoo Flip.

Classic Anbernic build quality: If the RG35XXSP is anything to go by, this handheld will feel premium and sturdy in your hands.

Magnetic Lid & Sleep Mode: The Hall magnetic switch lets you close the lid to put the device into sleep mode—just like the Nintendo 3DS!

🌐 Ports, Connectivity & Extra Features

Anbernic packed this thing with 5G WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, and HDMI out. That means:

✔️ Multiplayer gaming with wireless Bluetooth controllers

✔️ Ported games like Shredder’s Revenge

✔️ Remote game streaming with Moonlight

✔️ Online multiplayer via WiFi

✔️ Vibration motor for extra feedback in games

It even supports video and music playback, plus ebook reading—not just a gaming device, but a mini entertainment hub!


🎨 Color Options – Pick Your Favorite

You’ve got four colorways to choose from:

🎨 SNES-inspired gray

🎨 Classic black

🎨 A bright yellow (slightly different from Miyoo’s Flip)

🎨 Retro indigo – a nod to classic GameCube-era devices

They all look slick, so you really can’t go wrong.


💰 Price & Availability

Now here’s the part we don’t know yet—pricing and release date. Anbernic doesn’t reveal these upfront, but we’ll keep an eye out for updates.


For gamers in the USA, it’s worth watching how the recent tariff changes impact availability. If you’re in Canada, the UK, Australia, or Thailand, you probably won’t need to worry about any extra costs—just sit back and wait for the preorder links!
