The global leader in dedicated retro handhelds and smart emulation hardware.
Anbernic has rapidly become the undisputed leader in the dedicated retro handheld market. Instead of relying on a single form factor, the brand is known for its relentless hardware iterations—releasing devices in vertical, horizontal, clamshell, and dual-screen designs to match every possible gaming preference. Moving into 2026, they have expanded beyond basic emulation consoles; they are now innovating with dual-boot systems and producing their own premium PC and console gaming controllers featuring smart screens and Hall effect joysticks.
Anbernic divides their hardware into distinct software categories. Choosing the right one determines your entire user experience.
A pure, instant-on console experience. It boots up directly into a clean menu of your game library. It requires zero setup, making it perfect for beginners and casual players who strictly want to play older 16-bit to PS1 games.
Functions exactly like an Android tablet. You get a touchscreen, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the ability to download highly advanced standalone emulators. It is mandatory for running heavy 3D titles like PS2 and GameCube.
The best of both worlds. By holding a button during startup, you can choose your OS. Boot into Linux for a quick session of Super Nintendo, or restart into Android when you want to utilize the touchscreen for 3DS games.
Anbernic's 2026 catalog covers every price point and form factor. Choose between the high-powered premium tier or the ultra-portable budget tier.
