Short review & hardware overview

Short review
The Anbernic RG DS is an affordable dual-screen handheld with Android 14, ideal for DS-style games and classic emulation. The two 4" IPS touchscreens (with stylus), RK3568 chip and 3 GB RAM are fine for 2D consoles, PS1/N64 and many PSP titles; don't count on GameCube/PS2. The clamshell design with auto-sleep (hall sensor) and gyro makes it practical for everyday use. For ~€100, this is especially interesting if you specifically want two screens and stylus input.
