New Contender? Anbernic RG477M Poised to Undercut KT Pocket KT-R1S with Superior Specs

Rumors are swirling around the launch of the Anbernic RG477M, with leaked information suggesting it could come in at around CNY 1,688 (approximately $235) for a model featuring 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. This price point positions the RG477M as a more budget-friendly option compared to the anticipated KT-R1S, which is expected to launch at CNY 1,799, or about $250.

Anbernic has added to the excitement by releasing a detailed gameplay showcase, revealing that the RG477M performs similarly to the existing RG557, which currently retails for $379 on Amazon. Interestingly, the RG477M may even surpass the RG557 in handling more demanding games, thanks to its lower internal display resolution, which can enhance performance.

Adding intrigue, the video briefly hints at a dual display accessory, akin to the Dual Screen Add-On released by Retroid. This glimpse raises questions about whether Anbernic plans to introduce its own version or if the feature was purely for demonstration.

With these developments, Anbernic seems poised to capture the attention of gaming enthusiasts seeking high performance without breaking the bank.
