Anhernic has not formally launched and even put the brand new RG Slide Handheld room for pre -order, however a handful of reviewers not too long ago shared their first impressions in regards to the new console. Annhernic might bend slightly too far in novelty and nostalgia with the design of RG Slide, whereas not really capitalizing on what has made units reminiscent of Gentle and Compact PSP Go and Xperia Play Smartphone so beloved.
The Slide of RG can have a worth of $ 189 and it’s anticipated to be put up on the market from June 20, 2025, in response to Portododo. It’s powered by an Octa-core Unisoc Tiger Tiger T820 processor, which is a processor that the anbernic already makes use of in its higher ports, reminiscent of RG Dice, which may imitate many of the PS2 and Nintendo Gamecube video games. That is related to eight GB RAM, 128 GB of storage, a microSD card slot and a 5,000mAh rechargeable battery, which is estimated to feed the console as much as six hours between taxes.
Retro Dodo I preferred the RG Slide decision display screen of four.7 inches, 1280 x 960 pixels and found that “retro console reminiscent of gamecube, dreamcast and PS2 appears slightly extra vivid in comparison with earlier anberic merchandise.” He additionally discovered that the sliding mechanism of the console is satisfactorily strong, however has lamented a powerful “clack” that it makes on the opening or closing of the system.
Console controls are nearly as good as what’s discovered on different anbernic units and appear fairly snug and nicely balanced, however not as ergonomic as different handhelds.
each Retro Dodo And Russ Crandall, who leads the retro taking part in physique, believes that the anbernic has missed the marking in terms of the scale of the slide, which feels too giant and thick to be snug. It additionally weighs 380 grams, which is simply timid of the unique Nintendo swap that weighed 390 grams and far tougher than 158 grams.
