This new Xperia Play-like sliding handheld can emulate PS2, Gamecube, and more
TL;DR ANBERNIC has shown off emulation performance on the upcoming RG Slide handheld.
With a sliding design like the Xperia Play or PSP Go, it's unique in the gaming handheld space.
ANBERNIC has not yet announced a release date or pricing.
Last week, ANBERNIC gave us our first glimpse of its upcoming sliding handheld, the RG Slide, but today we finally got a full look at the Xperia Play clone, complete with emulation performance. If you feel any nostalgia for the Xperia Play or PSP Go, this one is worth keeping an eye on.
The RG Slide will have a 120Hz 4.7-inch LTPS display with a 4:3 ratio, making it perfect for retro games. ANBERNIC showed off performance in PS2 and Wii emulation in the video above, which it seems to handle well. However, the version of Twilight Princess in the video appears to be the GameCube version, despite claiming to be the Wii version.
Nevertheless, the video also showcases performance in demanding Android games like Genshin Impact. This confirms that the device will be Android-based, rather than Linux-based. This was previously hinted at by the fan vent in the back, which isn't typically found in budget Linux devices.
The sliding form factor might be making a comeback this year.
ANBERNIC stopped short of revealing the pricing, release date, or full specs of the RG Slide, but it's likely sporting the UNISOC Tiger T820. This has been a staple on ANBERNIC devices for years, and while it's not the most powerful, it's capable of everything shown in the video. It's also relatively cheap, hopefully reducing the RG Slide's final cost.
This is the first sliding retro gaming handheld we've seen announced in decades, as Sony has been sitting on the patent for the design since 2010. That patent expires later this month, which could explain the sudden resurgence of the sliding form factor. ANBERNIC is often one of the first to adopt new designs, but other companies may soon follow suit.

Amazon Deals of the Day: Lightning Deal Slashes 50% Off Anker's Portable Charger
Amazon sells a vast panoply of products, with new ones arriving daily. The retail giant carries everything from home essentials to tech gear and wellness items. As much as it loves adding new products, Amazon also loves cutting prices. Deciding which deals are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job -- our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you. Today, we spotted one of our favorite power banks down to half the regular price, but hurry supplies are going quick. We also found a two-pack of indoor Ring cameras for $60, down from $100. And finally, if you're looking for a solid pair of affordable headphones, Sony's budget pair just got a nice $22 price cut. Most of us are constantly on the go, which means we're bringing our devices with us. Keeping our devices like our phones charged can be a hassle, especially if you're hunting around for a place to plug your charger in. A portable charger can help you keep your phone powered up no matter where you are. The Anker Zolo portable power bank is our favorite portable charger for iPhones. We love it because it's pretty compact for an 10,000-mAh battery. It also has a pretty strong 30W charging power. It also has a LED screen with a battery life indicator. The USB-C cable tucks into a port on the battery, turning the cable into a lanyard when you don't have it plugged into a device. Normally $26, the black and pink color options are now down to $13. But hurry, this lighting deal is going fast. Protecting our homes is important to all of us, with many of us adding video doorbells and other types of security cams to the outside of our houses -- but what about the inside? Indoor security cameras can help you keep an eye on important areas, such as entryways, as well as your family and pets, no matter where you are. Many even opt to use these cams as a baby monitor. The Ring Stick Up Pro camera is our favorite portable indoor security camera of 2025. This camera can capture everything with 1080p HD video with features like Live View and Color Night Vision so you won't miss a thing. You can also get notifications to your phone when the camera detects movement, in real time. It works with Alexa so you can have a hands-free experience, too. You can score a two pack for $60 right now, bringing each camera to just $30. Since one camera normally retails for $60, you're getting these for basically half-off. Just like all nice things, much of the highest-quality audio gear is far from the cheapest. But we spotted a deal that can help bring down the cost of wireless headphones for bargain hunters. The Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones are back to down to their all-time low price of $38. These headphones are our favorite on-ear budget headphones of 2025. They are lightweight and relatively comfortable considering they are on-ear headphones, and they're a good option for someone looking for something simple, as these headphones lack noise canceling and aren't packed with the high end features you'll find on other pairs. However, they have an exceptional battery life of up to 50 hours. They also have multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you can pair them with two devices at the same time. Just about every color is on sale right now, so grab yours while you can. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET combs through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathers the best deals for you.

Sony Electronics Expands LED Display Family with Launch of Crystal LED CAPRI
The Company's Latest Crystal LED Displays Make Virtual Production Even More Accessible PARAMUS, N.J., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics Inc. is expanding its lineup of LED walls with the debut of Crystal LED CAPRI. The new CAPRI series achieves a maximum brightness of 1,500 cd/m2 with a 2.50mm LED pitch size. Key features include high refresh rates and brightness, a wide color gamut, and anti-reflection. Additional benefits include installation flexibility, familiar structure, streamlined maintenance, and compatibility with Sony's ecosystem of virtual production technologies. The new models, ZRD-VS25FB and ZRD-VS25FM, are compatible with the Brompton controller and the Megapixel controller, respectively. The CAPRI models are targeted to a broad range of customers looking to cost-effectively support virtual production applications, including television, feature films, commercials, and broadcast, as well as for rental and staging purposes. The CAPRI series offers options that ensure the high picture quality synonymous with Sony at a more accessible price. CAPRI also complements Sony's premium flagship Crystal LED VERONA. Using the same controllers and featuring the same luminance as VERONA allows the CAPRI LED wall to be used together with the VERONA LED wall, for example, the VERONA as the main wall and the CAPRI on the ceiling. The CAPRI series is expected to be available this winter. A sample of the CAPRI will be on display June 11-13 at InfoComm 2025 in Orlando in Sony's booth, 2001. "With the announcement of CAPRI, Sony is furthering our commitment to the creation of Spatial Content, such as virtual production, by giving a wider range of users opportunities for flexibly showcasing images in high fidelity," said Rich Ventura, Vice President, Professional Display Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. "We've broadened our lineup to offer more cost-conscious choices, which expand the market in support of high-quality virtual production at every level and ensure the growth of Sony's distinctive virtual production ecosystem." Impressive Picture QualityVirtual productions rely on high quality imagery. The CAPRI series combines high refresh rates of up to 7,680Hz to reduce scanline artifacts and ensure smooth, fluid motion. With a high brightness of 1,500 cd/m2, complemented by coverage of over 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the displays accurately reproduce lifelike images. Additionally, the new models feature anti-reflection capabilities to mitigate the impact of reflection from lighting equipment. Easy InstallationThe latest CAPRI series also takes advantage of recent installation advancements to ensure fast and efficient setup. Offering a 1:1 cabinet optimized for temporary installations, such as virtual production stages, the models can quickly and easily be assembled and dismantled using locating pins for simple alignment and a tool-free lever locking mechanism. Furthermore, the Crystal LED's modular nature allows for it to be set up in varying sizes and configurations, including stacked, hung, curved, or oval installation, and features a strong frame for supporting additional weight. Edge protection plates and pin slides reduce damage and wear and tear on parts. Industry Standard ControlThrough alignment with Brompton's Tessera SX40 and Megapixel's HELIOS, the CAPRI models maintain control using the same familiar tools and interfaces already commonly deployed in the industry, alleviating the need for additional training and maximizing uptime. Streamlined MaintenanceTo keep virtual productions focused on the creative processes, the CAPRI has thoughtful features that simplify maintenance. LED module blocks can be changed from the rear and feature status indication lights for easily identifying which blocks need service. Efficient WorkflowsSony is well-positioned in the virtual production space, providing customers with a connected ecosystem of solutions including cinema and pan-tilt-zoom cameras, a marker-free camera tracking system, LED walls, multi-camera live switching, remote production options, previsualization tools, mobile motion capture, and a virtual production tool set, which together contribute to workflow efficiencies. As a part of Sony's Virtual Production Tool Set, a compilation of resources to help improve pre-production and on-set workflows, the Color Calibrator ensures the visualized colors before the shoot match the colors that appear in dailies. In addition, the Camera and Display Plugin combines technical information on the cameras and LED pitch to aid in predicting and addressing aliasing during pre-visualization and on-set. Version 3.0 of the Virtual Production Tool Set, planned for fall 2025, will provide Off-axis color shift compensation capability exclusive to select Crystal LED series, including CAPRI, VERONA, and B-series. By using camera position information, this feature will correct color shifts due to curved or angled installation, in real-time, significantly reducing color correction and editing in post-production.

Nothing's first pair of real headphones are coming soon — here's what we know so far
Nothing is back at it with a new hardware reveal in the Nothing Headphone (1), slated for official debut alongside its Phone (3) on July 1. Nothing CEO Carl Pei voiced his optimism about the forthcoming set of gadgets, citing the launch at the tail end of his speech at SXSW London on Thursday. It's likely to be the brand's first set of over-ear headphones, which have so far designed some of the best wireless earbuds. There's very little we know about the new Nothing Headphone (1), though Pei did confirm the naming. It fits with alternative Nothing-branded devices, such as the Nothing Ear (3) and Nothing (open). One thing you can expect is a ChatGPT integration as seen across Nothing's audio and smartphone lineup. We tried ChatGPT with the Nothing Ear to solid results, and it's cropped up on almost every release so far, so it would only make sense for it to debut on the Nothing Headphone (1), as well. You can also expect a competitive price. Nothing might be known for premium products, but it usually stamps them with a significant value proposition. Most Headphone (1) pricing rumors suggest around $400, which undercuts the new Sony WH1000-XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones by about $50. Another particular highlight for Nothing's brand is its design ethos. It loves its transparent technology and LED glyph lighting, made popular on its Nothing Ear (1) and Nothing Phone (1). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Mockups abound on what the Nothing Headphone (1) could inevitably look like. While mostly relegated to its smartphone side, it would be interesting to see Nothing's glyph design pop up on the Headphone (1), especially in reference to certain modes or features like ANC, incoming calls, or ChatGPT. The glyph integration could not only put Sony and Apple in their place, but mark it as one of the best headphones in terms of chic alone. Nothing recently announced an ongoing audio partnership with KEF, a high-end speaker and headphone maker, but reports suggest this most likely pertains to the Phone (3)'s internal speakers. We'll have to wait and see. More information about Nothing's first-ever pair of headphones is set to be unveiled on July 1 alongside the Phone (3) itself.
