Anbernic is preparing to update one of its most popular retro gaming handheld releases of the year. Supposedly launching soon, the refresh could make the Anbernic RG35XX SP more appealing to some retro gaming fans.

Anbernic has been selling the RG35XX SP (curr. $89.99 on Amazon) for a few months now. To recap, the device features the same 3.5-inch and 640 x 480 IPS display found in Anbernic's other RG35XX devices. Additionally, it utilises an Allwinner H700 chipset, 1 GB of RAM and a 3,300 mAh battery.

In short, the unique selling point of the RG35XX SP among Anbernic's other products is its Game Boy Advance SP form factor. While the company only released the device in May, Retro Dodo now reports that a refresh is already on the cards. Specifically, the website claims to have received an image directly from Anbernic itself in which three new finishes can be seen.

According to Retro Dodo, Anbernic intends to offer these new finishes as Transparent Green, Transparent Pink and Transparent White. As a result, not only will the refresh expand the RG35XX SP's colours to seven, but it will also increase the volume of translucent options to five. Unfortunately, it is unclear when exactly these new colours will be available nor how much they will cost. Instead, Retro Dodo has hinted that Anbernic will begin selling them 'in a couple of weeks'.
