Anbernic RG34XX: New Retro Gaming Handheld Revives Classic Game Boy Advance Aesthetic

Anbernic has kicked off the new year with enthusiasm by unveiling a refreshed version of its popular RG34XX gaming handheld, just a month after its initial release. This latest iteration comes as no surprise given Anbernic’s track record of launching a new device every month throughout the previous year.

The RG34XX boasts impressive hardware features, including an Allwinner H700 chipset, 1 GB LPDDR4 RAM, and a 3,500 mAh battery. Its display stands out with a 3.4-inch IPS screen offering a resolution of 720 x 480 pixels and a 3:2 aspect ratio, complementing its Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 5 connectivity.

The recent adjustment to the RG34XX is purely aesthetic, taking inspiration from the Game Boy Advance’s iconic design. Anbernic has introduced a ‘Glacier’ color variant reminiscent of Nintendo’s own GBA models. Although this newer version sports a whiter shade compared to Nintendo’s blue-tinted Glacier, it remains an attractive addition for retro gaming enthusiasts.

Available now on AliExpress and through Anbernic directly, the refreshed RG34XX is priced at $69.99 with a 32 GB MicroSD card. There are also options to upgrade storage with additional cards: 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB at price points of $77.99, $84.99, and $99.99, respectively.

This move by Anbernic ensures their continued presence in the retro gaming market, offering both nostalgia and modern functionality to gamers.
