Anbernic shows off new handheld with Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chipset
Anbernic has shown off the RG DDS, a new dual-screen Android handheld that looks suspiciously similar to a certain Nintendo handheld. It's being dubbed as their "flagship dual-screen handheld console" and is an evolution of last years RG DS and the RG DS Plus that arrived last month and ...*checks email* in breaking news has now been superseded by the RG DDS ++ model (kidding).
Powering it is Qualcomm's Snapdragon G2 Gen 2, the same octa-core chipset used in the Retroid Pocket G2. Notebookcheck reckons that should put it ahead of the AYN Thor, which runs on the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
The screens are where Anbernic has delivered. It describes them as two "customised" IPS panels: a 4.7-inch display on top and a 4-inch one below. Despite the size difference, both run at 720p with a 300 PPI pixel density and reach 500 nits, which Anbernic says makes for a seamless dual-screen experience. That resolution is also why the RG DDS is said to handle 3DS games at a perfect 3x integer scale.
It will be available in black, white and blue. Unfotunately, Anbernic has not announced pricing or a release date yet.
