Anbernic RG DDS pre-order listing appears on AliExpress with prices and ship date
An AliExpress product listing has surfaced with pricing, pre-order timing, and shipping information for Anbernic's upcoming handheld, the RG DDS.
The listing was reported by RetroHandhelds and outlines two storage/configuration options, a pre-order discount, available colors, and a target ship date, while also noting that no games are bundled with the device.
What the AliExpress listing shows
- Price and models: The listing lists a 12GB + 256GB model at $364.99 and an 8GB + 128GB model at $299.99.
- Pre-order timing and discount: Pre-orders are expected to open on October 16, with a $15 discount applied during the pre-order period.
- Shipping window: The product page indicates shipping will begin on December 10.
- Color options: The listing shows three color choices — White, Blue, and Black.
- No bundled software: The AliExpress description explicitly states the device will ship without preinstalled games.
Hardware and design details
The RG DDS is described on the listing as a dual-screen handheld with two 720p displays and a Qualcomm Snapdragon G2 processor.
Several outlets have observed that the RG DDS shares a stylistic resemblance to the Nintendo 3DS in its clamshell design; Anbernic has not announced 3D functionality for the device.
Context and legal note
The AliExpress listing’s clarification that the RG DDS ships with no games aligns with broader industry concerns around preloaded or bundled ROMs on third-party handhelds.
Previously reported coverage notes the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) requested that the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) investigate Anbernic with respect to potential intellectual property issues.
What remains official
All details summarized here are drawn from the AliExpress listing reported by RetroHandhelds.
Anbernic has not issued a formal announcement confirming these exact prices, dates, or configurations at the time of publication.
Readers tracking the RG DDS should look for an official statement from Anbernic or retailer confirmations to verify final specifications, pricing, and availability on platforms such as eShop or other storefronts.
