2022 is the year of portable consoles. Only this year have the Logitech G Cloud, Razer Edge 5G, and of course, the new queen of the “handheld”, the Steam Deck from Valve hit the market. But not only the big brands in the industry have taken advantage of the rebirth of this type of video game console.
Alberni is one of those manufacturers that, although they are not very well known, are making a name for themselves in this market. In 2022 the brand launched several of the best portable consoles such as the Anbernic RG353M, and Anbernic RG353P and now it is committed to a model with an OLED screen. Of course, we are referring to the new Anbernic RG505, and below we will tell you all its details.
Features of the Anbernic RG505 portable console
The Alberni RG505 is a console with Android 12 perfect for playing Nintendo 64, PS2, PSP, DS, and Wii titles (using emulators, of course). Furthermore, it is also powerful enough to run the best video games available on Android like Genshin Impact or LoL: Wild Rift.
Why? Well, because under the hood it brings Unisoc’s Tiger T1618 8-core processor accompanied by the Mali-G52 MP2 graphics. In addition, it comes with 128 GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD) and 4 GB of RAM in LPDDR4X format. This configuration allows it to offer a fairly smooth performance when gaming.
