Dual-Screen Handheld RG DDS Mimics Nintendo 3DS
12 Oct
Summary
- New RG DDS handheld features dual screens and a clamshell design.
- It uses a Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chip for advanced emulation capabilities.
- The device includes enhanced controls with an extra analog stick.
Anbernic is preparing to launch its latest handheld gaming device, the RG DDS, a successor to its Nintendo DS remake. This new "Dream Dual-Screen" device draws clear inspiration from the Nintendo 3DS, featuring a clamshell design with two displays.
Under the hood, the RG DDS is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chip, which should enable emulation of demanding consoles like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 2. The device sports a 4.7-inch primary display with a 1,200 x 720 resolution and a 5:3 aspect ratio, complemented by a 4-inch secondary display with a 960 x 720 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio, ideal for replaying 3DS favorites.
Control-wise, the RG DDS closely mirrors Nintendo's design but adds an extra analog stick on the right side. It also includes an extendable capacitive stylus. Anbernic has also indicated the presence of a dedicated AI button, though its specific functions are yet to be detailed. The handheld comes with a 6,000mAh battery.
While Anbernic has not yet announced pricing or a release date for the RG DDS, it is expected to be priced competitively, potentially undercutting similar devices on the market. This follows the company's recent tease of a Nintendo DS remake.
