Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Check out the clamshell Anbernic RG 34XXSP

 Anbernic seems to have got clamshell fever recently, with the new RG 34XXSP design boasting a 3.4-inch full-fit IPS screen with 720x480 res display for all your retro fun. It comes in gaudy yellow, or more subtle gray, black, and indigo case options.

On the lower side, there are dual joysticks in a classic layout, or you can use Bluetooth wireless controllers for more relaxed play. 

The system is powerful enough to play PSP, N64, NDS, DOS, DC, PS1-era titles, and the 5G WiFi module online gaming. HDMI connectivity means you can go big-screen, unlike my beloved Miyoo Mini. So I might be due an upgrade. 


Usual legal stuff about emulators being bad, etc. The system isn't up on the Anbernic site yet and no word on price. And given the tricky nature of clamshell systems recently, I'd wait for a few reviews to see if the hinge is solid. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
