Anbernic’s RG557 arrives with a 5.48" 1080p OLED display and upgraded chipset – but can this $199 retro handheld finally handle PS2/GameCube at full speed? We test its emulation performance, battery life, and ergonomics to see if it’s the ultimate pocketable classic.

While the RG556 struggled with higher-end emulation, early footage shows the RG557 smoothly running Wii U and 3DS titles. But does its unconfirmed SoC deliver where it counts?

Would you buy this over a Steam Deck OLED?
