ANBERNIC reveals full spec sheet for PlayStation Vita clones: RG Vita and RG Vita Pro

Source: Android Authority

TL;DR

• ANBERNIC has officially revealed the spec sheet for its PlayStation Vita‑style handhelds.
• The RG Vita Pro is superior in most ways, but the standard RG Vita could potentially offer better performance in some scenarios.

Overview

Veteran handheld maker ANBERNIC announced the RG Vita and RG Vita Pro earlier this year. These devices broadly copy the PlayStation Vita’s design. After earlier rumors about their specifications, the company has now released an official spec sheet via a YouTube video.

The spec sheet (see screenshot below) aligns with the previously rumored specs.

Device Specifications

RG Vita (standard model)

• Display: 5.46‑inch 720p IPS LCD
• Chipset: Unisoc Tiger T618
• RAM: 3 GB
• Storage: 64 GB internal, expandable via microSD (up to 2 TB)
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 5, Wi‑Fi 5, 3.5 mm audio jack
• OS: Android 12
• Charging: 10 W wired
• Battery: 5,000 mAh

RG Vita Pro

• Display: 5.5‑inch 1080p IPS LCD
• Chipset: Rockchip RK3576
• RAM: 4 GB
• Storage: 64 GB internal, expandable via microSD (up to 2 TB)
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2, Wi‑Fi 6, 3.5 mm audio jack
• OS: Choice of Android 14 or Linux
• Charging: 18 W wired
• Battery: 5,000 mAh

Chipset Comparison

• GPU: The RK3576 in the Pro model includes an extra shader core, giving it a GPU advantage.
• CPU: The Tiger T618 (standard model) uses newer cores, while the RK3576’s cores are older but there are four “big” cores versus two in the Tiger. More big cores can benefit multi‑threaded workloads such as PS2 emulation, whereas single‑threaded games or emulators that aren’t optimized for multi‑core may run better on the standard model.

Emulation Support

The spec sheet does not list the PlayStation Vita as a supported console for emulation, which is unsurprising given the modest hardware and the early stage of emulators like Vita3K.

Shared Features

• 5,000 mAh battery
• MicroSD card slot (up to 2 TB)
• 3.5 mm audio port
• AI capabilities (e.g., language translation, image generation)

Launch and Pricing

No official launch date or pricing information has been released yet, but the specifications suggest these handhelds will be positioned at budget‑friendly price points.
