- Gaming handheld maker ANBERNIC is officially teasing a new dual-screen console.
- The ANBERNIC RG DS is rumored to run Android for Nintendo DS emulation.
- The console also borrows its design from the classic Nintendo DSi, with colors inspired by the DS and 3DS.
The beauty of Android is that it dynamically adapts to various formats and screen sizes almost seamlessly (surprisingly, it took Google so long to realize it would also work well on laptops!). This virtue has allowed Android to drive the resurgence of various ignored or abandoned form factors, such as decade-old Blackberrys. For Nintendo DS and 3DS fans specifically, it has led to the emergence of Android gaming handhelds armed with not one but two screens. After products from noted portable console makers, including AYANEO and AYN, another manufacturer — ANBERNIC — is throwing its hat into the ring with a new dual-screen handheld. And it is much more affordable than any of the existing options.
ANBERNIC just dropped a teaser for its upcoming dual-screen handheld, called the “RG DS.” Unlike its bland name, however, the handheld is shown in jazzy colors, including a glossy red, a lustrous blue, a retro-looking cream white, and one with a clear body. While the last option takes a transparent body a notch above the RG 476H with an all-glass top, the other variants are visibly inspired by the colors from the Nintendo DS and 3DS.
