Anbernic just officially unveiled the RG Rotate, and the retro handheld maker's next device mimics a weird sub-genre of 2000s cellphones. Having already created numerous conventional Game Boy clones over the years, quirkier clamshell portables like the GBA-inspired RG35XXSP, and oddities like the RG Slide, it's apparently time for rotating devices to make their grand return, bringing era-appropriate MP3 player functionality with them.
A fresh minute-long teaser for the Anbernic RG Rotate provides a proper look at handheld in all its rotational glory, albeit without full specs, pricing, or a release date. For now, the focus seems to be on the spinny screen and its "proprietary ultra-thin alloy hinge" that's used to hide flat Game Boy Advance controls under a 3.95-inch square IPS display.
