Anbernic RG Rotate now available for $83 and up (handheld game console with flip-out display)

The Anbernic RG Rotate is a handheld game console with mediocre specs that should be good enough for retro gaming, but which may struggle with some newer games. But it’s still an interesting little handheld for two reasons: its flip-out display makes the RG Rotate a very portable option for handheld gaming, and it’s pretty cheap.

Anbernic introduced the handheld earlier this year, and now the […]

Anbernic RG Rotate handheld game console with flip-out display coming soon for $88 and up

Handheld devices with square displays that flip upward to reveal a keypad or gamepad are having a moment… again. Last month a company called FROG Technologies introduced a phone that gives strong Motorola Flipout vibes, while handheld game console maker Anbernic has been sharing teasers for an upcoming model called the Anbernic RG Rotate.

Now Anbernic has revealed more details about its new […]

Now you can run Steam games in Linux on some handhelds that ship with Android

The line between PC and mobile devices is getting blurrier all the time. Apple’s MacBook Neo uses an Arm-based processor made for iPhones… and still manages to outperform many mid-range Windows laptops with Intel or AMD processors. Qualcomm is making some of the fastest laptop chips available for Windows PCs today. And emulation software allows you to run some x86 apps and games on Arm-based […]

Handheld game console maker AYN responds to RAMageddon with price hike, storage downgrade

The rising costs of RAM and storage are driving up the cots of devices that use RAM and storage chips. Makers of laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, and gaming handhelds have raised prices or discontinued products in response.

One of the latest examples? Handheld game console maker AYN has announced two changes to some of its Android-powered handhelds. Moving forward, the Ayn Odin 3 and […]

GAMEMT E5 ModX handheld console’s detachable controller also works with phones

The GAMEMT E5 ModX is a weird little handheld game console that features a 1024 x 768 pixel display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, a MediaTek Helio P60 processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB or 64GB of storage.

But what makes this console stand out is that you can remove the controller and use it with a smartphone.

The controller features a D-Pad, dual analog sticks, action buttons, and shoulder […]

Lilbits: Anbernic’s unusual handheld, reMarkable’s next tablet, and SteamOS 3.8

Anbernic is a Chinese company that has made a lot of handheld game consoles over the years. But a short video making the rounds shows an upcoming handheld from the company that’s unlike anything else we’ve seen from Anbernic.

At first it looks like a tiny phone with a small square touchscreen display. But then the person holding it flicks the screen so that it rotates 90 degrees while it […]

A 30 second video shows an upcoming Anbernic handheld game console with a small square touchscreen display that flips upward to reveal a gamepad. There are no details about specs, pricing or availability yet. #Anbernic #HandheldGameConsole https://www.reddit.com/r/SBCGaming/comments/1rv252z/anbernic_new_device/

Dead Cells was ported to tiny #linux retro handhelds. This took a lot of work in recompiling the game's code to arm64, patching the game to reduce graphics calls and optimizing its assets for the reduced specs. Really impressive things are happening in this world.

One killer feature of the #3ds, that I've yet to see replicated anywhere else, is the note-taking applet. You'd go to the home menu, tap the pencil, and you'd be able see a screenshot of the game you were playing and write/draw anything.
Having to pause my game and whip out my phone to take a note takes me out of it significantly.

Anbernic RG Vita and RG Vita Pro are Android handheld game consoles with familiar design

Chinese handheld game console maker Anbernic is preparing to launch two new handhelds that look… a lot like an old handheld.

The upcoming Anbernic RG Vita and Anbernic RV Vita Pro are portable gaming devices with physical designs (and names) that are heavily inspired by the nearly 15-year-old Sony PlayStation Vita.

Pricing and availability information hasn’t been announced yet, but […]

Mangmi Pocket MAX now available (Android handheld with modular controllers)

The Mangmi Pocket MAX is a handheld game console with a 7 inch, 1080p 144 Hz AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, and a modular controller system that lets you pop out and replace the D-Pad and action buttons.

AYANEO offers free Pocket Air Mini handheld to Pocket S Mini customers… to make up for smaller-than-expected battery

Last year’s AYANEO Pocket Air Mini and the new Pocket S Mini are both compact handheld game consoles with 4.2 inch, 1280 x 960 pixel displays and Android-based software. But while the Pocket Air Mini is a budget device that currently sells for $90 and up, the Pocket S Mini is more of a premium handheld that starts at $319.

So it’s a little disappointing to see that a manufacturing and […]

AYANEO Pocket S Mini launches for $319 and up (Gaming handheld with a 4:3 screen and Snapdragon G3x Gen 2)

The AYANEO Pocket S Mini is a handheld game console with a 4.2 inch, 1280 x 960 pixel LCD display featuring a 4:3 aspect ratio that could make it a good fit for classic games that were designed to be played on old-school television sets or other devices with 4:3 screens.

As an Android 14-powered handheld with a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 processor, the AYANEO Pocket S Mini should support […]

AYANEO Pocket S Mini is a smaller handheld Android game console with Snapdragon G3x Gen 2

Nearly two years after introducing the AYANEO Pocket S handheld game console with a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 processor and a 6 inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel IPS LCD touchscreen display, AYANEO is preparing to launch a smaller model that might be a better match for the “pocket” name.

The upcoming AYANEO Pocket S Mini has the same processor as its bigger sibling, but it has a smaller screen with […]

Mangmi Pocket Max: Android handheld with 144 Hz OLED display and modular controllers

The Mangmi Pocket Max is an upcoming handheld game console with a 7 inch OLED display featuring a 144 Hz refresh rate, an Android 13-based operating system, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor. While that’s a chip that was released in 2019, it was a flagship-class processor at the time and should still be speedy enough to compete with newer mid-range and budget options.

But what really […]

AYANEO Pocket Vert handheld game console is $269 and up during crowdfunding

The AYANEO Pocket Vert is an Android-based handheld game console with a 3.5 inch, 1600 x 1440 pixel IPS LCD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, and a vertical design that makes it look like a modern take on a Game Boy.

Lilbits: Abxylute’s dual-OS handheld game console, Beelink ME Pro NAS, and Fairphone’s next-gen modular headphones

The Beelink ME Pro is an upcoming network attached storage (NAS) device with a compact design that Beelink says is about 50 percent smaller than a typical NAS.

That said, with support for either two or four 3.5 inch hard drives, there’s no way it can be as small as the company’s first NAS: the Beelink ME Mini measures just 3.9″ x 3.9″ x 3.9″. But that model doesn’t have room for any hard […]

AYANEO Pocket Vert is like a modern Game Boy with a 3.5 inch, 1600 x 1440 display and Android-based OS

The AYANEO Pocket Vert is an upcoming Android handheld that looks a bit like a Nintendo Game Boy might have if it were released in 2025 rather than 1989.

In other words, it’s a vertical device with a screen on top and buttons on the bottom. But that screen features a high-res IPS LCD display panel and glass that sits flush with the device’s all-metal body. AYANEO has been sharing teasers for […]

Anbernic RG DS dual-screen handheld launches for under $100

The Anerbernic RG DS is a handheld game console that looks a lot like a Nintendo DS… if Nintendo’s classic dual-screen handheld had analog sticks and ran Android.

Anbernic began promoting the handheld in October, and now the company is taking pre-orders for $94 and up. The handheld is expected to begin shipping in mid-December.

The starting price includes a pre-order discount – retail […]

Lilbits: Kensington’s new TrackBall, AMD’s new names for old chips, and a power bank that’s also a game console,

In my ongoing quest for ergonomic computer input devices, the Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball has been one of my favorite purchases of the past few years. While I still prefer a mouse for precision work like audio and video editing, the large trackball, scroll wheel, and multiple buttons make it easy to do most computer work without putting strain on my wrist.

Earlier this year we […]

AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini handheld game console hits Indiegogo for $70 and up

The AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini is a handheld game system that probably wouldn’t generate much buzz in 2025 if it weren’t for the fact that it’s the by far the cheapest console from AYANEO to date. Up until recently the company has really specialized in high-end hardware with bleeding-edge specs, but the Pocket AIR Mini is a budget device for folks looking to do some retro gaming without spending […]

AYANEO Pocket Air Mini is an entry-level Android handheld that sells for under $100

AYANEO has released a wide range of handheld gaming hardware over the past few years, but one thing the company hasn’t really offered yet is truly cheap hardware for gamers on a budget. Most of the company’s Windows handhelds are high-end devices with premium price tags. And while AYANEO’s Android devices tend to be a little more affordable, they’re not exactly impulse purchases.

Now the […]

KONKR Pocket FIT: AYANEO’s handheld game console begins crowdfunding for $239 and up

AYANEO has been making handheld gaming systems for nearly five years, and while the company’s products are generally pretty well received when it comes to performance and design, they also tend to be expensive products that may be out of reach for some.

So this year the company is launching a new KONKR sub-brand for lower-cost hardware that still has some premium features. As expected, two of […]

Lilbits: Judge rules Google can keep Chrome, but has to share search data, plus some gaming handheld news

Last year a US federal judge ruled that Google had violated antitrust laws by abusing its monopoly powers to maintain its leads in online search and advertising. And since then there’s been speculation about whether that judge would follow the Department of Justice’s recommendation to force Google to sell off its Chrome web browser or other products, possibly even including its Android […]
