Anbernic has announced the RG DDS, a new dual-screen handheld clearly inspired by Nintendo's 3DS family.
The RG DDS — short for Dream Dual-Screen — brings modern mobile hardware to the clamshell formula that defined Nintendo's early 2010s handheld era while retaining design cues that recall the New Nintendo 3DS.
In its announcement, Anbernic emphasized the device's display and processing choices.
The company states the RG DDS uses custom IPS panels tuned to what it calls a 'perfect aspect ratio', and that the system is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chipset.
The listing also highlights a built-in retractable stylus and a dedicated 'AI' button as part of the unit's feature set.
The RG DDS carries a 6000mAh battery and will be offered in blue, white and black finishes.
Anbernic says the face buttons are designed to mimic the layout and aesthetic of the New Nintendo 3DS, underscoring the hardware's clear visual debt to Nintendo's dual-screen handhelds.
The company did not mention any glasses-free 3D functionality in the announcement, and observers should not interpret the design as a full technical reproduction of Nintendo's original 3D system.
Anbernic is best known for a range of retro-oriented handhelds that run various emulation-focused operating systems and have seen steady interest among enthusiasts.
The RG DDS announcement follows that lineage but marks a higher-profile hardware approach by incorporating a modern Qualcomm mobile gaming chipset.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon family has been used in a variety of mobile and handheld devices, and the G2 Gen 2 represents the specific silicon choice cited by Anbernic.
At the time of the reveal, Anbernic did not provide pricing, a release date, or detailed software information for the RG DDS.
The company also did not outline supported operating systems, storefront availability, or whether additional features such as stereoscopic 3D would be included.
Those details are typically provided in follow-up product pages or retail listings.
The RG DDS release will be of interest to collectors and players who retain an appetite for clamshell handhelds and 3DS-era ergonomics.
For now, verified facts from Anbernic's announcement are limited to the hardware highlights: dual custom IPS screens, Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chipset, retractable stylus, dedicated AI button, 6000mAh battery and three color options.
Further technical and availability information is expected when Anbernic publishes formal product specifications or retail details.
