Anbernic is double-dipping into dual-screen handhelds with a new 3DS clone

Anbernic is apparently releasing yet another clamshell handheld, and its next dual-screen device is firmly a 3DS clone. Just like all its rivals, it's missing the 3D part, but otherwise, the RG DDS will take on the likes of the Retroid Pocket Duo and Ayn Thor with "true" 3x 3DS display integer scaling and a punchy Qualcomm Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chipset.

If you're not so fussed about running more demanding 3DS romps, Anbernic already has you covered with its previously released RG DS handheld for around $100. It'll run 2000s DS outings with ease, and if you're specifically looking for a clamshell, the MagicX Zero 40 comes in at $75 and can provide a similar experience.

Revealed via a video teaser that weirdly sounds like it's narrated by Peter Serafinowicz, the Anbernic RG DDS specifically mimics the look of the 'new' Nintendo 3DS from 2014. The retro handheld almost looks exactly like the very portable that lives on my bedside table, but that's hardly surprising given Anbernic's track record with making accurate clones of iconic devices.

Don't be fooled by how similar the RG DDS looks to the last 3DS, though, as it actually boasts a larger 4.7-inch 720 x 1200 resolution display, accompanied by a 4-inch bottom 960 x720 panel. That means it's a bit larger than the handheld it's paying homage to, but the higher resolutions and Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chip set it up for success running the portable's library with 3x scaling applied.

Going over the actual design, Anbernic has shifted a few things around.
