Description

From the makers of retro gaming handheld heavyweights such as the RG350, RG350M, and the RG351P, comes Anbernic’s latest entry into the field – the RG280V.

Sporting the well-known, proven-to-perform JZ4770 processor, alongside 512MB of RAM, the RG280V can handle the same games as its predecessors with no difficulty, ensuring a smooth experience across several generations of retro gaming history.

The main feature of the RG280V is its size. At 89mm x 78mm x 18mm, the RG280V is approximately half the size of its predecessor, making it the smallest RG handheld to date. Truly putting the “portable” in “portable games console”.

The RG280V boasts a crystal-clear 2.8-inch IPS screen, protected by a glass layer. At a 4:3 ratio, the RG280V lends itself well to many older titles, capable of playing them at a natural-looking resolution with no stretching!

Like its predecessors, the Anbernic RG280V runs the OpenDingux operating system, meaning there’s no shortage of community-developed emulators available for the device. Mix and match between emulators and games of your choice to craft a truly customized retro gaming handheld experience.

The RG280V also features the external-boot-SD improvements brought about by the RG350M, making it easier to adjust your setup (no more tinkering around with screws).

Great little product

Only had this a day but I’m very happy so far with a great little product. It is very small but a bright clear screen makes it easy to use and is surprisingly comfortable to hold. It seems like it’s made from quality components with a nice weight and feel. The d-pad and buttons are very positive and press well without rattling. With the supplied sd card it is very much plug and play. I couldn’t be happier and would thoroughly recommend.

Pocket Sized Fun

Running on the same software as the RG350 devices, the RG280V is a fantastic, pocket sized addition to the lineup that is great to pull out for moments at a time to play some classic games from NES to PS1. Very much recommended.

RG280V- Great Little Piece Of Kit

Ordered late on Saturday night, very pleasantly surprised when it arrived on Monday. Super quick delivery.

The RG280V is a great piece of kit although if you plan on doing more than is available out-of-the-box you do need a PC, the ability to follow simple instructions and a bit of patience. There’s loads of resources online to help you if you get stuck though and it’s so satisfying to get a clean UX working with your favourite ROMs.

Highly recommend the unit and this site.

Great upgrade to my vertical LDK

I confess, I love retro handheld devices, and Anbernic ones in particular :)
I have an older vertical LDK device, and the RG280V is a perfect replacement! The form factor is the same, but with better internals and a much better screen! Yes, I also have an RG351P, but RG280V is my main choice to play quick on-the-go games, like GB, GBC, GBA. Recommended, but read a bit more into the differences of these devices before purchasing :)

Already had an RG350M but wanted to get something similar for my son so he'd stop taking it from me. A bit small for me personally but he absolutely loves it so far!

RG280v

I love this little thing, it can emulate up to ps1 & below, like game boy, gba, snes, nes, fba, sega 32x/megadrive/cd, cp1, cp2, cp3, once you find the right way to grip it you can play for hours.
Hats off to droix aswel, excellent customer service & delivery only took 2 days to be delivered, I'm UK based

Fantastic Pocketable Retro Console

Brilliant little retro console that’s perfect for people looking to emulate old school handhelds. More than capable of running most consoles up to the PS One. I personally use mine for Gameboy Colour and Advance games and love it as it’s easy to put in a pocket whenever I go out.

Looks really good, but there's one dead pixel that shows up every so often. Fairly easy to add roms to, handily includes quite a few in the box.
