Anbernic has revealed an upgraded version of its existing RG DS emulation handheld, which, as the name suggests, is inspired by the Nintendo DS.

Via its dual 4.3-inch, 1,024x768 pixels screens, the console boasts pixel-perfect 4x scaling compared to the DS resolution of 256x192, while the hinge has been entirely redesigned with a 'dual alloy' mechanism.

The hinge has a "stepless" position feature, meaning you can angle it exactly as you want, rather than being limited to set positions.

The Linux-based OS now features a new emulator, NNDDSS, while the UI is described as "fully customisable". NNDDSS offers the ability to swap screens and boasts microphone support for games that require it. You can also use shaders, save states and cheat codes.

Elsewhere, the RG DS Plus has its own built-in capacitive stylus – something that was absent from the previous model.

The catch is that we don't know what chipset it's running, nor do we have any idea of when it's launching or what price it will retail for.
