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.

Yes, but also half the price. Depends on what you want from the device. I would go for the RP6 or at least the Nova. Of course it's only a matter of months if not weeks before Retroid announces the RP7. It never ends.

This looks like a Switch Lite they're not even hiding it.

well thats consumerism , technology cant excape it and money rules the world , i just got a pocket 6 instead of a nova , i dont intend on getting a new one for a while i already have games to play for ages ,i recently tried to change the case of my switch and failed(might still work im just really lazy to put it back and the screen is glued real well xD ) , it is a good repleacment so far

Just made myself one with my latest Aliexpress purchase and an old Redmi Note 11 for 20€:

Basically the same specs.

Ill wait for an Odin 4, or Thor 2 with updated hardware. A clam shell console is a must for DS or 3DS games.
