Anbernic has officially revealed its newest emulation handheld, the RG477V. Until now, the only other handheld in the 477 family has been the RG477M<\/a>, a powerful Android device with a $250 USD price tag, due in part to its full-metal casing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anbernic uses a simple naming strategy for most of its releases, and in this case, RG stands for Retro Game. The next two numbers refer to the screen size, and the final number marks the chipset generation. These generations follow Anbernic\u2019s own system, but the rule is straightforward. Each number represents an improvement over the last. 7 outperforms 6, 6 outperforms 5, and so on. And any letter at the end of the name signals the type of build. M marks metal, P marks plastic, H marks horizontal, and V marks vertical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, we can decode the basics of this handheld. The RG477V uses a 4.7-inch screen and the same seventh-generation chipset found in the RG477M<\/a>, the Dimensity 8300, which should be capable of most games from the older generations and up to the Switch. And as we can see at the end of the name, it will be a vertical device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anbernic has a long history of releasing both vertical and horizontal designs. When a device launches in one orientation, the other usually follows a few months later. Metal builds often break this pattern, but the RG477M\u2019s<\/a> success made it likely that a non-metal vertical version would show up eventually. That moment has arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
