Anbernic RG 552 is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2021. Powered by RK3399 (6-core, 2.2 GHz), 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and Mali-T860 MP4 GPU. Features a 5.36" Touchscreen, IPS LCD display (1920 x 1152, 5:3). 24 Wh battery and WiFi 4. Runs Android, Linux with AmberELEC support.
The six-core RK3399 combines two Cortex-A72 and four Cortex-A53 cores with a Mali-T860 MP4 GPU running at 600 MHz. SNES FX titles and 3D PlayStation games run at 60 FPS, while Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and PSP are playable. Sega Saturn is only somewhat playable, and GameCube remains mostly unplayable. Active cooling with a heatsink, fan and ventilation cutouts helps keep performance steady during long sessions.
The 5.36-inch IPS touchscreen is one of the device's highlights. It has an FHD+ resolution of 1920 x 1152, a 5:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and roughly 418 ppi. The panel sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass, delivering sharp detail. Touch input adds flexibility when navigating Android.
The control layout is ready for both 2D and 3D games. It includes symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3, an upper cross D-pad, four face buttons and four horizontal shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). Rumble and a built-in microphone are also on board. A function button acts as Home on Android and as a hotkey on Linux, alongside power, reset and dedicated volume buttons. The console measures 198.1 x 85.6 x 20 mm and weighs 362 g.
Power comes from a 6400 mAh battery, with two USB-C charge ports and USB-C OTG support. A Mini HDMI port provides video output to a TV, and a 3.5mm headphone jack handles private audio. Bottom-facing dual stereo speakers cover sound, and WiFi 4 provides wireless connectivity. Storage starts with 64 GB of eMMC and expands through dual microSD slots.
The RG 552 ships with Android 11 for apps and standalone emulators, plus a Linux side for a fast, focused retro experience. Modding is permitted, and the console supports popular custom firmware such as AmberELEC, BATOCERA and JELOS.
Ideal for: retro gaming enthusiasts who want a sharp FHD+ screen, reliable emulation up to Dreamcast and PSP, and the freedom to switch between Android and Linux-based custom firmware.
