I'm really excited about the RG Rotate. It feels like a breath of fresh air in the retro handheld scene.
Two models are available:
Polar Black: Plastic with alluminum front, 167g, $87.99
Aurora Silver : Fully alluminum, 204 g, $107.99
Other than that, the specs are identical.
When it comes to emulation performance, I put them at the level of the base RG Vita, which has the same UNISOC Tiger T618 chipset and 3 GB of RAM.
My hope is that Anbernic and/or other manufacturers iterate on this design, as the Rotate looks too chunky for my taste, and has some glaring shortcomings (no headphone jack, small battery, Android 12). However, that didn't seem to happen with the RG Slide. No news of any other "Slide" device since its release one year ago.
