Anbernic Launches RG SP Clamshell Handheld at Under $65

The Game Boy Advance SP‑style device ships only from China and aims to offer a low‑cost choice for retro players who do not need high‑end emulation.

Overview

  • Anbernic has made the RG SP available to order from its official site with an introductory price of $57.99 for the base model and a regular price of $64.99 after the limited offer.
  • The handheld is sold in three storage SKUs with listed prices of $57.99 for 16GB, $72.99 for 64GB, and $87.99 for 128GB.
  • The RG SP uses modest hardware intended for homebrew and classic games, pairing an Allwinner H700 chip with 1GB of RAM rather than a high‑performance mobile chipset.
  • The design closely mirrors the original Game Boy Advance SP with a clamshell body, extra face buttons, a slightly larger screen, and four metallic colorways: Graphite, Platinum, Pearl Blue, and Pearl Pink.
  • Orders ship only from China so international buyers should expect import fees and longer delivery times, and the launch arrives as pricier premium retro handhelds and a rival Ayaneo GBA tribute have drawn attention to lower‑cost alternatives.
