RG556 Official Unboxing
The rg556 is ok, but I can't find a way to connect to my internet via Wi-Fi. Yet, another low is that a large part of the games are japanise localizations. I have to download a lot of european games. I hope I can connect and download.
Followed Retro Game Corp to set it up, absolutely a fantastic handheld I definitely recommend!
I'm always on the lookout for the best all around handheld game console. Some have come close, but had their issues:
Rg35xxsp- Love the clamshell, but screen is to small for my aging eyes.
Retroid 4 Pro- Good chip set and battery life, but it has no ergonomic grip on the back at all.
Logitech G cloud- Great screen and ergonomics, but under powered chipset.
Abxylute One- Good screen and lightweight, but lacks ergonomics and chipset.
ROG Ally Z1 extreme- Super powerful and fantastic screen, but battery life, weight, and ergonomics compromise the system.
RG556- Great ergonomics, weight, and screen size, but very slippery and Switch style joysticks.
All in, i'm using the rg556 the most. The android operating system makes downloading, file transfers, and movie watching a breeze. Good battery life for it's weight. Not the most powerful out there, but it emulates some PS2 games I enjoy playing just fine, and everything below the PS2 plays great.
I don't like how slippery the plastic used is, but it's good grip design on the back make it so that you won't don't drop it, but your fingers will slide around on it. It also uses the Switch type half analog sticks that work fine, but lack the size and comfort of a full size analog stick.
I'm very happy with the rg556 and use it for almost all of my handheld needs. It's to big to carry in a pocket, but I have the rg35xxsp for that.
This is my second handheld I bought from Anbernic.Rg556 is a big upgrade from the Rg505.Great battery life and easy to use out of the box all the apps you would need.
One of the smoothest emulators to get into! With the games already downloaded its great to just jump in. Its also very simple to download your own games and import them into the device. I've have the issue of some games not showing up in the dedicated Anbernic game space. But easy to find in the multiple apps download on the android home screen. I highly recommend this device to 3DS and WII emulation.
