Anbernic RG VITA Impressions: Truly the PSP of All Time

👉Stubbs hangs with Russ from Retro Game Corps, and Rob the Retro Tech Dad, as we explore the Anbernic RG Vita, a perhaps poor excuse for a Vita, but a heck of a PSP in 2026. With the Unisoc T618, Android 12, 3gb ram, 720p IPS 5.5" screen, 5000mah battery, we certainly are reviewing a handheld here. Really though, this isn't bad if the price is right. Let's go $80 + shipping! Launching 3rd week of March along with the Vita Pro (Linux, 4gb ram, 1080p, dual boot Android).

It runs Android, with performance sitting in the low to mid‑range— meaning strong for 8‑bit through PSP and some PS2 titles, but not a powerhouse by any means, vita emulation ability is slim to none, but it works here and there. Build quality is generally good for its price, with responsive sticks and buttons, but software polish is needed, with obvious over sharpening. Overall, it’s a mostly capable device aimed at players who want a comfortable, Vita‑inspired form factor for classic and mid‑tier retro gaming without expecting top‑end performance. ⚠️ Disclaimer This description contains affiliate links.
