Anbernic RG505 In-Depth Review
3,531At long last, Anbernic has released a handheld device that is both affordable AND powerful. Let's take a look at the RG505 and see whether its PS Vita OLED panel, Unisoc T618 chipset, and hall sensor analog sticks make it worth considering.
UPDATE: Anbernic has now added Google Play Store functionality to the device, it is available via an online updater app that is bundled on the device. All future shipments will come with Play Store as standard.

This was a review unit sent to me by the manufacturer. All opinions are my own, they did not see this review ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.
