ANBERNIC RG DS adopts a foldable design reminiscent of classic portable gaming devices. The top surface has a glossy finish, while the bottom has a matte texture, providing high rigidity and a premium feel overall. Its main feature is the dual 4-inch IPS displays, which have a resolution of 640×480 and deliver very clear and beautiful images thanks to OCA full lamination processing. Both screens support capacitive touch panels, enhancing the convenience of emulation.
In terms of interface, it includes compact analog sticks, shallow-stroke buttons with a click feel, and L1/L2/R1/R2 buttons on the back. It uses the Rockchip RK3568 SoC, which has the performance to comfortably run titles from the DS, PS1, and some N64 generations.
