This bad boy goes up for sale now. Are you picking one up? Which color? Correction: the LID has magnets, NOT the hinge (please excuse my shortcomings). Also in the battery is draining while in sleep mode like the 28XX, so id suggest setting the lid to auto shut down when putting it down for more than a few hours until that's corrected.

Blue looks amazing from the outside and it's my favourite colour, but silver looks better overall and has better potential with some jelly blue vita-like custom buttons. Either silver or blue but I'm tempted to buy both just in case🤔😍

This handheld is awesome. Do you happen to know where I could find the stock files (not the roms) that come loaded on the sd card? I seem to be missing my apps and bezels now : \

This is a must buy for me. Love the clamshell but im torn in terms of which color i want to get...im leaning towards the silver even though the dmg colors are my favorite but the bezel around the screen annoys me.

Does it come preloaded with all those games or do you have to download them?

Excuse my uneducated question, but why are we using huge bezels on SNES on a 4:3 screen? is there some benefit to this that I'm unaware of?

Been waiting for one to drop like this. As a kid, there were two different times I had an SP, originally silver and then later a dark blue. Hard to choose silver or transparent blue this time :\

Just got my 35XXSP, has anyone figured out how to remove various system bezels with stock firmware 240511? Every time I change it in RA and go back to a game the system themed bezels return. I prefer full screen aspect ratio with no boarders. The only one I would consider keeping is the GBA SP bottom bezel.

I love the design of this one. Already got myself a Miyoo Mini Plus and an Anbernic RG556 this year, so at this point, the only reason I could want something new is a fancy design gimmick like a clamshell, and the price-to-performance of this against the Miyoo Mini Flip makes it seem like the clamshell to get.

I assume they used a new type of buttons because of some limitation, but we shall see. We definitely need to address the battery touching the CPU or you'll have a pregnant LiPO exploding your device from the inside after a couple years of use. Maybe a little slice of ceramic fiber insulation would do the trick?

"Stubbs has got a fever... and the only prescription is more clamshell!" I enjoyed this first look. 3AM Stubbs managed to hit the right balance of zany and serious which made this first-look video a pleasure to watch. I don't really have anything else to add about the device. I'm interested because the Anbernic SP is cool like the backside of the pillow. Well, metaphorically speaking anyways. I do have one question: if I were to buy this to use, in part, as an MP3 player does it play through the headphone jack with the lid closed and/or screen off? Finally, you mentioned Flexispot as a sponsor. I like their desks a lot. I also like their social media team. A couple years ago their KZread channel sponsored a comment writing contest. The prompt was "your best desktop organization tips" and my comment was good enough, or lucky enough, to win a $50 Amazon gift card. That's the first time I'd ever won anything online.

If the Flip happens anytime soon, I think its worth waiting and comparing. So far no confirmation on release. Hopefully soon!

I was undecided between the DMG color and the Transparent Blue. But from the Anbernic ''trailers'' in the DMG the edges of the display are black (as for the other color displays), while in reality, as can be seen from the purchase page and from some examples that reviewers have, the edges of the display are white... Unfortunately the white edges with the ''white'' frame of the console around it, seem to have too much excess edge. I really don't like it. They therefore simplified the choice for blue xD Maybe later, I'll take the DMG and mount the display with black borders..
