The Anbernic RG556 gaming handheld has been unveiled. The new model is seen as a rival to the Retroid Pocket 4 gaming handheld and comes with some decent features. It is a relatively powerful gaming handheld and comes with hall effect triggers, joysticks, as well as a gyroscope.
The launch details for the Anbernic RG556 are coming on the heels of the revelation of the PS2 emulation and Android gaming performance levels. The RG556 was the subject of a recent leak but Anbernic confirmed that the model will not be available in a white colorway but rather black and translucent blue options. The earlier leak had pointed to a glossy white finish for the RG556. The new gaming handheld features either 128GB or 256GB MicroSD card options.
The Anbernic RG556 is equipped with a 5.48-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It has a Unisoc T820 chipset with 8GB LPDDR4x RAM. The new Anbernic gaming handheld comes with a 5,500mAh battery and weighs 331g. It has dimensions of 223 x 90 x 15mm. The Anbernic RG556 features hall effect triggers, hall effect joysticks, and a six-axis gyroscope for a solid compact gaming experience. The handheld will compete against the Retroid Pocket 4 and bear similarities in many aspects. The Retroid Pocket 4 is however slightly more powerful than the Anbernic RG556.
The RG556 gaming handheld runs on Android 13 and can connect to an external display via its single USB-C port. The USB-C port also serves as the charging port for the handheld and for connecting an external display using the DisplayPort Alt Mode protocol.
Pricing & Availability
The Anbernic RG556 is being sold at $174.99 for the barebones model and up to $204.99 for the top MicroSD card option. The earliest deliveries of the new gaming handheld will be around March 5, 2024.
