First Look Anbernic RG Cube

Beige White/Radiant Purple/Gray/Black

The RG Cube, Anbernic's next portable console, generates much buzz on Reddit and other online forums. Following the release of the RG35XX SP, which has received overwhelmingly good reviews, the RG Cube is positioned to compete with the Powkiddy RGB3, which currently retails for approximately $95. Although Anbernic has not disclosed a formal release date, we know the Cube's technical specifications. Let's take a closer look.

Key Features and Specifications

  • Unique screen. The most remarkable aspect of the RG Cube is its unique screen. It features a 4-inch IPS touchscreen with a resolution of 720x720 and a 1:1 aspect ratio. This is where it varies from the Powkiddy RGB30. The RG Cube boasts a more potent processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM. It features 128GB of internal storage and an expandable microSD card, just like the Anbernic RG556. Its battery capacity is less because of its smaller screen.
  • Cheaper Price. Although the RG Cube's pricing is unknown now, it is expected to be similar to the Anbernic RG556, which debuted at roughly $175. The Cube may be less costly. The device also features stacked shoulder buttons, which are popular among gamers, and Hall effect triggers for R2 and L2, which give analog input needed for specific systems.

Pros and Cons

The 1:1 aspect ratio of the screen is one of the most talked-about characteristics on Reddit and other sites. Systems like the Game Boy Color, original Game Boy, Pico-8, vertical arcade games, and even the Super Nintendo, with its 8:7 aspect ratio, are especially well-suited for this ratio. However, this aspect ratio might be better for conventional 4:3 games and look compressed in bigger games. Some users may find this to be a deal-breaker.

Positively, if the Android software is tuned and custom firmware becomes available, the RG Cube's chipset—which is the same as the one found in the RG556—should be able to run 80–90% of PlayStation 2 and GameCube games smoothly.

Support Android games 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 more game formats (Genshin Impact, Honor of Kings, etc.). In addition to having a 5G WIFI module, it allows users to download games in compatible formats, stream Moonlight, play 3A masterpieces on the go, and access WIFI internet entertainment, among other features. It encourages 1080p DisplayPort output, which USB Type-C supports for TVs, monitors, and other devices. It may unlock the home console form by connecting several wireless Bluetooth controllers using Bluetooth 5.0.
