ANBERNIC posted a YouTube video that features a spec sheet for each handhelds. This sheet strains up with beforehand rumored specs. Try the screenshot beneath.
Beginning with the RG Vita, it packs a 5.46-inch 720p IPS LCD display, a well-known Unisoc Tiger T618 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, Bluetooth 5, Wi-Fi 5, and Android 12. In the meantime, the RG Vita Professional has a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD display, a Rockchip RK3576 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6, and your selection of Android 14 or Linux. The video additionally exhibits that the usual mannequin gives 10W wired charging whereas the Professional model tops out at 18W.
The chipset disparity is fairly attention-grabbing right here. The RG Vita Professional appears to have a greater GPU because of its further shader core, however the CPU story is somewhat murkier. The Professional mannequin’s Rockchip processor has older CPU cores than the Tiger T618 processor seen in the usual mannequin. Nonetheless, the Rockchip processor options 4 large cores, in comparison with the usual mannequin’s two. Extra large cores are preferable for some workloads, like PS2 emulation. However I think about some video games and emulators that aren’t optimized for multi-core architectures would possibly run higher on the usual mannequin owing to its newer cores.
It’s additionally value noting that ANBERNIC’s spec sheet doesn’t checklist the PlayStation Vita as a supported console for emulation. That’s not a shock given the modest specs and the early nature of emulators like Vita3K.
In any other case, the 2 handhelds have a number of options in widespread. This features a 5,000mAh battery, a reminiscence card slot (as much as 2TB), a 3.5mm port, and varied AI options (e.g., language translation, picture era).
There’s nonetheless no phrase on when the RG Vita handhelds will launch, neither is there any official phrase on pricing. However these specs counsel that we’re finances costs for these machines.
