TL;DR
- The ANBERNIC RG VITA will feature a Unisoc T618 SoC and 3GB of RAM.
- Those limited specs imply a much more budget-friendly device than initially thought.
- The Pro model will presumably be more powerful, but specs haven’t been revealed.
ANBERNIC has a strange habit of announcing otherwise excellent devices with a few puzzling decisions, and its upcoming RG VITA handheld is no exception. Despite the modern look, which is clearly inspired by the Sony PS Vita, it will use a budget chipset the company hasn’t used in years.
The RG VITA is slated to have a Unisoc T618 chipset, paired with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. That’s significantly weaker than the company’s recent releases (apart from the RG DS), and it’s unlikely to play GameCube or PS2 games reliably. ANBERNIC has shown off RG VITA gameplay of some PS2 games in a recent showcase, but it did the same with 3DS games on the RG DS, which the console simply can’t handle.
