A new generation of retro gaming is here! ANBERNIC take the stage with their newest retro gaming handheld, the ANBERNIC RG552.

The RG552 is powered by a RockChip RK3399 SoC. This SoC boasts a hexa-core processor that runs at up to speeds of 1.8GHz, and a Mali-T860 GPU. The RG552 also features 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. Play more retro games at higher resolutions and stabler framerates than ever before!

Storage is also no longer an issue with the RG552! With built-in 64GB eMMC 5.1, and the option to use not one, but TWO microSD cards, you can effortlessly manage your game collections.

New to the RG line is the inclusion of a 10-point touch screen with a whopping 1920×1152 IPS display. This goes perfectly with the new Android 11 operating system, which grants you access to tons of free community developed emulators and apps. For those who do not like Android, it is also possible to boot into alternative operating systems via microSD card as well.

For the first time in ANBERNIC’s history, the RG552 is a retro gaming handheld with active cooling. The inclusion of a fan and heatsink means this gaming handheld will stay ultra-cool when emulating the most demanding games out there.

Even the battery life has been extended! Two 3200mAh batteries allow for hours of gaming on the go without a need to recharge.

All of this is wrapped up in ANBERNIC’s signature lightweight plastic shell with dual analogue sticks and a full suite of face and shoulder buttons, for ergonomic comfort and ease of use.

RG552 - Anbernic XL

For those who have enjoyed the recent handhelds from Anbernic, the RG552 is the latest and certainly the largest. It represents the first time Anbernic have tried to develop a handheld using a chipset not already used by another manufacturer so while it is a power upgrade from previous models, it might not be seen as a total generational leap. It's better to treat it almost as an XL version of their previous modles in my opion. Granted I've been using it as a Linux device rather than an Android one (using 351ELEC betas), as that is what I have been using previously, so I can't vouch for Android performance. The upgraded high resolution screen is very nice and in general performance is a step above what was previously obtainable.

In summary this console might not be an totally essential purchase, so it's worth looking into it before purchase, but you should have no regrets in buying one :)

Great screen. DPAD not as good as other Anbernic devices.

Screen is amazing. DPad not as good as other Anbernic devices unfortunately. I have multiple devices from them and am a Street Fighter fanatic and this dpad doesn’t live up to the 351V where I never miss a dragon punch. Still great for everything else including NeoGeo games but definitely took me a week to get used to Street Fighter. Built-in Firmware is buggy but great once you tinker a bit. Big plus for me that Batocera is working on firmware for this as that’s what I use for my PC. Runs hot and battery life isn’t great. Sounds like a lot of negatives but I actually really like this device. Just wish dpad was as good as their other products.

Great little system but not perfect....

I upgraded from a RG351m (I hesitated alot before I jumped in). So far, it has played everything I have tested - from 8bit to Saturn and it plays great. I tried Crisis Core on the PSP and it plays much better - I havent bothered with God of War as I hear this still runs rough.

So far, it is great but it has a few annoyances which the RG351 is better and it is all around the function key. The volume button doesnt work with some emulators and they default to loud!! PSP for examples requires function and L1 to turn the volume down - why not just use the volume button??? I had to research this. Some others require function and up/down for volume so there is no consistency.

I am sure I will get used to it - just a little annoying at the moment.

RG552 - Loving the screen, Shame about the price!

Absolutely loving the handheld, and if you accept the Ayn Odin is still only shipping slowly to backers, probably the best available in this format.
The screen is something to behold and having touch screen and the choice of Linux or Android (touch screen is essential for the latter) is a game changer - pardon the pun! Surprised at the improvement in performance, better than I expected and most Youtube reviews give it credit for, Dreamcast is now very playable. Comfortable in the hand but you will notice the weight difference and the two grip pads on the back could be bigger as it is quite slippery in the black finish. My only gripe is that says after I bought it Droix dropped the price by £25.00 and that stung a bit. Having said that I have just ordered my third handheld from Droix and their service has always been first class. Definitely going to be my large handheld of choice, the Odin may change that but mine still looks like its two months away and I predict some nice bespoke software OS arriving for the RG552 before then.

A little overpriced, but a joy for GBA

Pros:
- Gorgeous display
- Nice, speedy interface
- Custom firmware options are fantastic

Cons:
- A bit overpriced given it's not much more powerful than 351 systems
- Occasional small pop sound from speakers after system comes out of sleep (easily fixed with a restart, thankfully)
- Battery life isn't great

For someone who just wants the best display for S/NES and GBA and similar systems, it's fantastic and can recommend installing one of the custom firmwares (AmberElec, JELOS) to optimize everything. N64, PSP and DS will work generally very well on the Android side, though don't hold out hope for 3DS or PS2 ever being playable on this thing. Pro-tip: You need to take the main micro SD card to use Android, so make sure to keep your micro SD in a case to avoid losing it!

Lovely piece of kit

Whilst I’ve not had much use out of it yet, it is a lovely piece of kit. I’m coming from a Powkiddy Q90 and the hardware is such a huge step up and the screen is amazing. I’ve mostly been using the Linux side at present, mostly because I’m hopeless setting up retroarch, and everything works great. I did install some play store games I own that support controllers (Dead Cells being one) and they played brilliantly.
It isn’t the cheapest handheld but I originally bought my self a cheap handheld to see how I’d get on with these systems before going for a more premium device. If I’ve got to give a negative, as I chew my nails, getting the sd cards in and out is a pain.
Got this in the sale and it arrived quickly and well packaged.
