First Look Anbernic RG Cube In Mechdiy
Beige White/Radiant Purple/Gray/Black
The RG Cube is generating buzz on Reddit and other forums as the next handheld console coming down the Anbernic pipeline. Following the recent release of the RG35XX SP, which has received much praise, the RG Cube is positioned to compete with the Powkiddy RGB3, which currently sells for around $95. Anbernic has not yet provided an official release date for the Cube, but we do have its technical specifications. Let's take a closer look.
Key Features and Specifications
- Unique screen. The standout feature of the RG Cube is its unique screen. It boasts a 1:1 aspect ratio with a 4-inch IPS display touchscreen, outputting at 720x720 resolution. This sets it apart from the Powkiddy RGB30. Additionally, the RG Cube is powered by a more robust chipset and features 8GB of DDR4 RAM. It also comes with 128GB of internal storage and an expandable microSD slot, similar to the Anbernic RG556 but with a slightly smaller battery capacity due to the smaller screen size.
- Cheaper Price. Although pricing information for the RG Cube is not yet available, it is expected to be similar to the Anbernic RG556, which launched at approximately $175. The Cube might even be slightly cheaper. The device also includes stacked shoulder buttons, preferred by many in the gaming community, and Hall effect triggers for R2 and L2, providing analog input necessary for certain systems.
Pros and Cons
One of the most discussed features on Reddit and other forums is the screen's 1:1 aspect ratio. This ratio is particularly well-suited for systems like the Game Boy Color, original Game Boy, Pico-8 games, vertical arcade games, and even the Super Nintendo with its 8:7 aspect ratio. However, this aspect ratio could be less ideal for traditional 4:3 games and even worse for wider games, which could appear squished. This might be a deal-breaker for some users.
On the positive side, the RG Cube's chipset, the same as the one used in the RG556, should handle around 80 to 90% of PlayStation 2 and GameCube games well, provided the Android software is optimized and custom firmware becomes available.
Support Android games (Genshin Impact, Honor of Kings, etc.), PS2, WII, NGC, 3DS, PSP, DC, SS, PS1, NDS, N64, ARCADE, FBA, NEOGEO, GBA, GBC, GB, SFC, FC, MD, SMS, MSX, PCE, WSC, PICO8, NGP and other formats of games.
It supports users to download games in related formats, equipped with 5G WIFI module, supports Moonlight streaming, realizes the handheld play of 3A masterpieces, and WIFI online entertainment and other functions.
Supports USB Type-C supports 1080p DisplayPort output TV, monitors and other devices. With Bluetooth 5.0, it can connect multiple wireless Bluetooth controllers to unlock the home console form.
