Anbernic

Anbernic is a Chinese electronics company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of retro-style handheld gaming consoles. Founded in 2017, the company has gained a significant following among enthusiasts of classic video games due to its commitment to recreating the feel and functionality of older gaming devices.

The company's product line features a wide range of devices that emulate popular consoles from eras such as the 8-bit, 16-bit, and even early 32-bit periods. These consoles often run on open-source operating systems like Android or Linux, allowing users to install emulators for various retro systems. Anbernic devices are known for their durable build quality, ergonomic designs, and a strong emphasis on button layouts that mimic original hardware.

Anbernic's approach involves utilizing modern internal components, such as more powerful processors and higher-resolution screens, within retro-inspired casings. This allows for smoother emulation of more demanding retro games and the ability to play a broader library of titles. The company actively engages with its user community, often incorporating feedback into future product iterations and firmware updates. While primarily focused on the retro gaming market, Anbernic has also explored other handheld computing devices.
