Retro handheld maker Anbernic’s latest device has a swiveling display


There are plenty of retro gaming handhelds on the market, but Anbernic is introducing one that offers a unique spin on the square shape. The retro gaming handheld maker revealed the RG Rotate on its YouTube channel, showing off a 1:1 display that swivels out much like the T-Mobile Sidekick of yore.

Anbernic often drip feeds details of its upcoming products over time, but so far, we know that the RG Rotate will run on Android, feature an aluminum alloy frame and come in Polar Black and Aurora Silver. Anbernic’s video detailed that the handheld will have a “proprietary ultra-thin alloy hinge” that went through “high-durability testing.” While the handheld maker has experience with other hinges as seen with its RG DS and RG 34XXSP, the RG Rotate’s hinge mechanism could prove to be a new engineering challenge.

As for the rest of the build, Anbernic is adding swappable L2 and R2 buttons that allow users to adjust the height of the shoulder buttons. From the video, the RG Rotate might only be built with a single USB-C port, which has irked a few fans hoping for an audio jack. Anbernic hasn’t announced pricing for the RG Rotate yet, but it’ll likely be much cheaper than more premium options from Ayn or Retroid.
