Meanwhile, a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset underpins proceedings. Equipped with a Mali-G615 MP6 GPU and an octa-core CPU split between one Cortex-A715 and seven Cortex-A510, the Dimensity 8300 delivers emulation performance up to the Nintendo Wii U and PlayStation 2, in part thanks to its 6 GB or 8 GB optional RAM configuration.

Also, Anbernic installs a 5,500 mAh battery that supports up to 27 W charging, as well as a modem that delivers Bluetooth 5.3 and WiFi 6E connectivity. The RG477V starts at $199.99 with 128 GB of storage but no microSD card. Alternatively, 12 GB RAM and 256 GB of storage variants retail for $40 more and rise to $269.99 with a 256 GB microSD card in Black or Retro Grey colour options. Currently, Anbernic anticipates that it will raise prices by $20 across the board on December 23 at 10:00 UTC.
