Anbernic’s sliding screen handheld might be too chunky and heavy for your pockets

Anbernic hasn’t officially released or even put its new RG Slide handheld up for preorder yet, but a handful of reviewers have recently shared their first impressions of the new console. Anbernic may be leaning a bit too far into novelty and nostalgia with the RG Slide’s design, while not actually capitalizing on what made devices like the light and compact PSP Go and Xperia Play smartphone so fondly remembered.

The RG Slide will be priced at $189 and is expected to go on sale starting on June 20th, 2025, according to RetroDodo.
