Anbernic RG NANO is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2023. Powered by V3s (1-core, 1.2 GHz), 64MB DDR2 RAM. Features a 1.53" IPS LCD display (240 x 240, 1:1). 1050 mAh battery. Runs Linux with FunKey OS support.
Under the hood sits an Allwinner V3s SoC with a single Cortex-A7 core running at 1.2 GHz, paired with 64 MB of DDR2 RAM. This modest hardware is tuned for efficiency and focused on classic systems: NES and Famicom Disk System, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega Master System, Game Gear, SG-1000, Atari 2600 and 7800, Neo Geo Pocket and Pocket Color, ColecoVision, Intellivision, Game & Watch, CHIP-8, TIC-80, Watara Supervision and lighter MAME titles. Its listed emulation ceiling extends to SNES and PlayStation, but the RG NANO is really about pure retro, not raw power.
The 1.54-inch IPS display has a 240 x 240 resolution in a square 1:1 format, a 60 Hz refresh rate and a density of about 220 PPI, so pixel art looks crisp despite the tiny size. A tempered glass lens with OCA lamination protects the panel and keeps the image clear.
Controls are kept simple: a cross D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons, L1 and R1 shoulder buttons and a dedicated power button. There are no analog sticks and no rumble, while volume and brightness are adjusted through the menu. Sound comes from a single bottom-facing mono speaker.
A 1050 mAh battery delivers roughly 2 to 3.5 hours of play, ideal for short breaks and quick sessions, and charging is handled via a top-facing USB-C port. Games are stored on microSD, and headphone users get a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter in the box.
The RG NANO runs Linux and supports custom firmware such as FunKey OS, OpenDingux and RetroFE, with modding openly permitted, giving tinkerers plenty of room to customize the experience.
Ideal for: retro collectors, fans of 8-bit and classic handheld games, anyone looking for an original gift for a gaming enthusiast, and players who want quick, no-fuss retro sessions on an ultra-compact metal device.
