About the Anbernic RG557
The RG557 is Anbernic's AMOLED flagship, built around a 5.48 inch 1920x1080 AMOLED panel that makes it one of the best-looking screens on any of their handhelds. Inside is the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 with a generous 12GB of RAM and 256GB of fast UFS 4.0 storage, running Android, with a 5500mAh battery and Wi-Fi 6E. It is pitched squarely as a rival to the Retroid Pocket 5.
That chip has the muscle for GameCube, PS2, Wii and 3DS comfortably, with some Switch titles on the table as a bonus. The screen is the real draw here. Reviews are mixed on value, since it costs noticeably more than the RG556 for a similar footprint, so pick it if you specifically want the AMOLED panel and the extra power, rather than as the cheapest way into Android emulation.
