You'd call that a legit Switch Lite if not for the left stick under the D-pad instead of above it.

same chip as the retroid pocket classic, it looks like a switch lite, but can't emulate the switch
it's very cool that anbernic finally decided to use a snapdragon chip, but they chose a very underwhelming chip with no driver support

If there's one constant in this life you can be sure of, it's that Anbernic are working on a new handheld.

anyone know what the price of these are going to be? i bought a couple abernics back before tech prices ballooned and am wondering if abernic devices are still reasonably priced or if they priced themselves out of the market too like alot of other hardware manufacturers have.

Don't buy this one guys. You'll be disappointed by the performance. G1 Gen 2 is not the Snapdragon you're looking for.
