What is it?

The Anbernic RG Slide is a pint-sized gaming console with a slide-up screen and proper old-school buttons underneath.

Why is it cool?

Because it blends modern guts with vintage vibes. It runs Android 11, boots up emulators, and plays classics from multiple generations — NES, PS2, GameCube and more. There’s a T618 chip, 4GB RAM, HDMI-out, stereo speakers — and it all hides behind a screen that glides open like the best flip phones of yesteryear. Tactile buttons, smooth performance, and just enough nerdiness to make you feel clever.

Is it expensive?

Not unless you think nostalgia should cost a fortune. Around Rs. 13,000 gets you hours of pixel-perfect joy — no monthly fees, no catch.
