About this device

The Anbernic RG556 is a large-screen Android powerhouse with a 5.48-inch AMOLED display. It excels at PS2 and PSP emulation with its ample processing power and delivers a premium visual experience for extended home sessions.

The Anbernic RG556 is a large screen Android powerhouse built around a stunning 5.48 inch AMOLED panel. With the Unisoc T820 and 8 GB of RAM, it handles PS2 and PSP with room to spare and looks gorgeous doing it. This is a couch and commute device rather than a pocket one, at around 300 grams. The main trade off is battery life, which runs shorter under load, so a power bank helps. For home sessions where you want a big, vivid screen and solid emulation muscle, the RG556 delivers a premium feel for the money.
