Pre-Order the Anbernic RG556 and Sale
Pre-Orders for the RG556 have gone live here’s a link:
Hey friends. I had some time while waiting for the family and did some digging into Anbernic’s site as well as their AliExpress page. Was able to pull most of this info off an AliExpress post that went listed “No Longer Available”. It may go live again here is a link: Anbernic RG556 AliExpress. Until we get hands on with this handheld it’s going to be difficult to judge how it will emulate but on paper it looks similar to the Odin Lite & Retroid Pocket 4. I’ll include what we know including the specs below.
Looks like they are planning on having Pre-Sales until the first batch is sold through. Then an expected release date of March 5th. Not clear if they are waiting until 3/5 to start shipping or if that is the post pre-sale availability. The long gap is likely due to the Chinese New Year.

Along with almost every other handheld device on their website being included in this sale. Keep in mind it looks like customer service and orders from China won’t return until 2/17. Guess it gives you plenty of time to setup a memory card with the ROMs you’ll actually play (I know I’m guilty of waiting then scrambling the day a handheld shows up)!
