The audio lag in Linux is now fixed. And for Android, you can now install the Google Play Store and the issue with the right analogue stick is now resolved.

One interesting thing we noticed is that at 18 seconds in, the directories indicate that this RetroArch installation is running on top of Android. Meaning that the RG552 is now confirmed to <strong>run<\/strong> Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is unknown what version of Android it will be however. We would guess somewhere between Android 8 and Android 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RG552 test\uff1aRetroarch\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Naf6628hewI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular gadget reviewer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/TakiUdon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taki Udon<\/a> also teased that he is in possession of an RG552 earlier last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"71\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Discord_qwisZF8up2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Discord_qwisZF8up2.jpg 985w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Discord_qwisZF8up2-300x22.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Discord_qwisZF8up2-768x55.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Discord_qwisZF8up2-450x32.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Discord_qwisZF8up2-780x56.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At this rate, we can probably expect more RG552 info to drop towards the end of the month.

This is a departure from the previous linux based systems of old (EmuELEC, OpenDingux, etc.).<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>Android will grant the device access to a plethora of already-matured emulators, and it will potentially be easier to manage which emulators are on the device from a user&#8217;s perspective &#8211; as adding emulators will simply be a matter of dragging APKs onto the device and running them.<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>Should the device feature Android in any form, we would hope that it contains at least 2GB of RAM at the minimum. As Android is rather sluggish on devices that fall below that threshold.<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ANBERNIC RG552 has been confirmed to run Android 7.1 on an internal 64GB eMMC chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7.1 is a little&#8230; outdated? It should be perfectly fine for the purposes of gaming, but it would have been nice if it were a newer version. There&#8217;s always the possibility of a community-developed upgrading option to come about however&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the RG552 is also capable of running Linux operating systems via an external microSD card. If you have ever tried using a coreELEC (or a derivative) distribution on an Android box, the process will probably be very similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notable custom firmware teams to keep an eye on are those mentioned in our <a href=\"https:\/\/go.droix.co.uk\/RG351-CFW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best RG351 custom firmware guide<\/a>. At least one of these developers will likely create something for the device at some point&#8230; or perhaps a new developer will rise up out of the blue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-return-of-the-hdmi\">Return of the HDMI<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-reports\">Reports indicate that the RG552 will feature a HDMI port &#8211; a feature which has been entirely absent from the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/go.droix.co.uk\/ANBERNIC-GUIDE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">third generation<\/a>&#8221; of ANBERNIC handhelds. With the more powerful processor and higher resolution display than previous models, it should provide a better overall experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>It is unknown what size the HDMI port will be at this point in time (be it Full-sized, Mini or Micro).<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>18\/11\/2021 Update:<\/strong> The specifications document we have received from ANBERNIC confirms that the RG552 has HDMI output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we cannot say with 100% certainty is what kind of output it is. The document only mentions &#8220;HDMI&#8221;, so we&#8217;ll lean towards it being either full-sized HDMI, or mini-HDMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wi-fi-support\">Wi-Fi Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The RG552 is stated to support Wi-Fi  functionality.

A known spokesperson for ANBERNIC and is often the originator of leaked info for ANBERNIC devices. So while these following images are not final, it is unlikely that the final product will differ radically. As more images become available, we will update this RG552 FAQ.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"RG552 FAQ - Front and Back View\" class=\"wp-image-2641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back-280x210.jpg 280w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_front_and_back.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RG552 &#8211; Front and Back View<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In terms of layout\/appearance, the RG552 does not reinvent the wheel.

The RG552 makes use of active cooling, so the presence of a vent of some kind was inevitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to squeeze as much performance as possible out of the RK3399 SoC, ANBERNIC have opted to use active cooling on the RG552. Cool air appears to be taken in through the rear of the unit, and expelled through exhaust vents (that are pointing away from the user, thankfully). This will allow the unit to maximize performance without overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_switch_size_comparison-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"RG552 FAQ - Size Reference\" class=\"wp-image-2642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_switch_size_comparison-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_switch_size_comparison-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_switch_size_comparison-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_switch_size_comparison-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_switch_size_comparison-780x1040.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/RG552_switch_size_comparison.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RG552 vs Switch Size Comparison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The RG3552 is also substantially larger than it&#8217;s predecessors (owed to the active cooling system, and the 5.5 inch screen).
