Anbernic RG477M Officially Unveiled: High-Performance Android Handheld Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8300
Chinese handheld manufacturer Anbernic has officially revealed its latest device, the Anbernic RG477M, cementing its commitment to high-performance emulation hardware for retro gaming enthusiasts.
The announcement arrived via a brief teaser video published on Anbernic's official YouTube channel, building anticipation among the handheld gaming community.
Background and Hardware Overview
Anbernic, well-regarded for its line of retro-inspired portable gaming devices, has built a strong reputation for crafting premium handhelds aimed at emulation fans.
The new RG477M continues this tradition, offering a blend of robust hardware and compact design.
According to prior leaks—initially reported by community outlets such as Retro Handhelds and Retro Dodo—the RG477M features a metal chassis consistent with other "M" variants in Anbernic's portfolio.
Notably, a series of images surfaced earlier this year in the company’s official QQ chatroom, giving fans a first look at the unreleased product and stirring widespread discussion.
Key Specifications
In terms of display, the RG477M is expected to sport a 4.7-inch screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio, providing a sharp resolution of 1280x960—ideal for retro titles.
At the heart of the device lies the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset, a considerable step up in processing power compared to previous models and the same powerful system-on-chip featured in the prior RG557 handheld.
Anbernic describes the RG477M as a "high-performance" Android-based emulation device, supporting a wide array of classic and modern titles via software emulation.
Official Statement and Reveal
While the recent official unveiling did not explicitly confirm every leaked specification, the visuals displayed in the "ANBERNIC RG477M First Look!" video corroborate key elements reported in June.
Commenting on the reveal, Anbernic representatives emphasized their goal to deliver "the most powerful and compact emulation experience" for gamers seeking performance and portability.
The commitment to a premium metal build suggests that the RG477M is designed with both durability and aesthetics in mind.
Availability and Pricing
As of the reveal, Anbernic has not shared details regarding the RG477M’s pricing or pre-order schedule.
Historically, the company has launched similar handhelds through its official website and global retail partners, often following a short teaser period.
Fans are encouraged to follow Anbernic’s official channels for timely updates on availability and launch plans.
The Anbernic RG477M stands poised to be a notable addition to the thriving Android handheld and retro emulation landscape.
With its blend of proven hardware, premium construction, and a focus on high-definition display output, the device is expected to appeal to serious retro gamers and portable gaming enthusiasts alike.
