The Anbernic RG nano has finally gone on sale as the smallest ever handheld gaming console. This device is a miniature lookalike of the iconic Game Boy and comes with a number of retro games. So let’s have a look.

Anbernic RG nano is small enough to be carried on your keychain ring

With measurements of 2.8 inches x 1.7 inches x 07 inches, the new RG nano is a tiny and compact game console. Since it weighs just 153 grams, you can easily carry it around on your keychain and even toss it in your pockets or handbags. But despite its small form factor, it is still a fully functioning game console that features a D-Pad, action buttons, color display, and even shoulder buttons as well. Notably, this isn’t the first retro handheld gaming console from the company as they even launched the Anbernic RG35XX earlier this year.

The RG nano sports a tiny 1.54 inch IPS LCD panel that has a 240px resolution and is powered by a 1.2GHz ARM Cortex A7 processor. This chipset is paired with 64MB of DDR2 memory and uses a microSD card slot that supports up to 512GB of storage (the company sells only the 64GB or 128GB options). With these specs, it is clear that the console isn’t cutting edge, but for its size, it can run NES, GBA, and even PS1 era games with ease. It runs on a Linux based OS with support for emulators as well.

Other notable features include, built in speakers, a USB Type C port, and a 1,050mAh battery that can last for up to 2.5 hours. For those unaware, Anbernic had first unveiled the mini console back in May 2023, and it is currently available for purchase for a price tag of 66 US Dollars. Although, there is a 6 US Dollar company discount for those that order before June 15. Talking about its design, it is built using aluminum alloy and arrives in multiple color options, like dark purple, blue, and red.
