RG Vita Pro — Has Anbernic Lost the Plot?

👉The Anbernic RG Vita Pro is one of the most interesting devices Anbernic has made in a while. That's not the same as *the best device*, but it might be one worth paying attention to. In this video I break down everything you need to know: the RK3576 chip and what it actually runs, the dual-boot Android 14 and Linux setup, why the stock experience is rough and what custom firmware does to fix it, the no-analog-triggers situation, and why I think Anbernic's strategy around this launch was stranger than it needed to be. I also put it up against the Retroid Pocket 5 and the Mangmi Air X so you know exactly where your money goes at this price point. The short version: flash ROCKNIX on day one and you'll have a great time. Expect it to work out of the box and you'll have a frustrating week. This is a project device with a high ceiling, and whether that sounds exciting or annoying tells you everything you need to know about whether to buy it. Also, there's a strange, sponsored segment at the end of the video feat Russ and Andrew and TechDweeb and my bestie Rob. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🛒Featured items from this video: 🛍️Vita/Pro on AliExpress: https://rh-go.link/RG-Vita-and-Pro_AE 🛍️Vita Pro direct: https://rh-go.link/Anbernic-RG-Vita-Pro 🛍️Retroid Pocket 5: https://rh-go.link/Retroid-Pocket-5 🛍️ MangMi Air X: https://rh-go.link/Mangmi-Air-X 💵 Save with our hand-picked gaming & handheld deals: https://handheld.deals 🔎Browse our curated weekly deals: https://rh-go.link/DILLS ✨Became a Member or Patron👇 🌐All Our Links: https://rh-go.link 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🎵 Music by Jim Gray (https://ourghosts.bandcamp.com) and SoundStripe 🎞️Production & Editing by SonyWWDD30 (and Gary for Zu's vids...sometimes) ⚠️ Disclaimer This description contains affiliate links.
