This might be the next must-buy Android gaming handheld, and it's not a Retroid
If naming conventions hold true, it has a 4.7-inch panel and a Dimensity 8300 chipset.
No release dates or pricing have been announced yet.
One of the main reasons to buy an Android gaming handheld over a Linux-based one is increased power for PS2 emulation and above. Until recently, only Retroid and a few others offered devices powerful enough for reliable PS2 emulation, but the latest device announced by ANBERNIC might be an even better buy.
Announced via the video seen above, the ANBERNIC RG 477M is set to offer some serious power in a pocketable form factor. While no specs are mentioned in the video, we can deduce several things based on previous naming conventions.
The RG 477M will offer the right screen and specs for killer PS2 emulation.
The first two digits of the name imply it will have a 4.7-inch display, and the aspect ratio show in the video all but confirms it will be the same 4:3 120hz LCD display found in the RG Slide. In our review, we found that display to be a real highlight of the device, so it's good to see ANBERNIC using it in more traditional handhelds.
The final digit in the name implies that it will have a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset, similar to the RG 557. That's a lot more power than the Unisoc T820 found in the RG Slide, and it should be more than powerful enough for stable PS2 and GameCube emulation.
The M at the end indicates it has a metal body, which should add a more premium feel than the plastic used in most handhelds. Apart from that, it has in-line shoulder buttons at the top, with symmetrical sticks on the bottom. That should make it versatile enough for a wide variety of retro consoles, but still slim enough to fit in a pocket or go-bag.
There's still no word on how much the RG 477M will cost or when it will be available to purchase. ANBERNIC typically begins teasing devices a few weeks before they're available, but expect a consistent drip feed of new info in the coming weeks.

WeRide Wins Permit for Autonomous Robotaxi Service in Shanghai, Partnering with Chery to Revolutionize Urban Mobility
SHANGHAI, China, July 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD), a global leader of autonomous driving technology, has been granted a permit from the Shanghai municipal government to operate regulation-compliant, Level 4 (L4) autonomous Robotaxi ride-hailing services. Issued during the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2025) in Shanghai, the permit enables WeRide, in partnership with Chery Group and Jinjiang Taxi, to deploy Robotaxis on public roads in Pudong New Area. This milestone also marks the WeRide Robotaxi's official entry into its tenth city globally. As part of WAIC's Level 4 Intelligent Vehicle Experience Showcase, the three partners jointly launched the event's only fully mass-produced, pre-installed L4 Robotaxi shuttle service. The service connects key Shanghai transport hubs and cultural-tourism landmarks, including the Shanghai World Expo Center, Jinqiao, Huamu, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, and Shanghai Disney Resort. Residents, tourists, and conference attendees are able to book rides through the 'Jinjiang Smart Mobility' WeChat Chery Group, and Jinjiang Taxi jointly launched a Robotaxi shuttle service at WAIC 2025 WeRide, a pioneer and leader in the Robotaxi industry, and Chery Group, China's first independent brand to exceed one million vehicle sales, have joined forces to develop a new generation of mass-produced Robotaxis. Chery's premium new energy vehicle brand, EXEED, is advancing rapidly in smart, connected, and electric mobility, with significant progress in EV platform architecture. Together, they unveiled their jointly developed Robotaxi model — the CER — at Auto Shanghai 2025. The CER is built on WeRide's universal autonomous driving platform, WeRide One, and EXEED's STERRA ET vehicle architecture. At WAIC 2025, WeRide and Chery showcased the CER in active operation. Equipped with WeRide's High-Performance Computing platform and Sensor Suite 5.6, the CER features over 20 sensors — including cost-efficient LiDARs, HD cameras, and RTK-precision navigation modules — and incorporates five layers of redundant safety systems (steering, braking, parking, communication, and power supply redundancy). The CER's spacious interior and extended range on the EXEED STERRA ET platform enable it to support long-distance, all-scenario, high-frequency driverless shuttle services. Founded in 2017, WeRide has been at the forefront of Robotaxi R&D and commercial deployment. It has launched Robotaxi testing or operations across nine cities in three countries, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Ordos, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, and Zurich, accumulating over 2,000 days of safe operation. The approval of the permit in Shanghai marks WeRide's entry into its tenth city globally, showcasing the company's robust autonomous driving technology and efficient global deployment capabilities. Looking ahead, WeRide will deepen collaborations with global partners to accelerate Robotaxi technological advancements, scale commercial deployments, and elevate service standards — driving cities worldwide toward a smarter, safer, and more connected transportation future.
