Yeah, I was not sure about SoC, but I thought maybe they'll manage to cram T618 inside, since they used it before in lot of their stuff, tough they are all above $100...but, and there's but:
- AYANEO pretty much surprised everyone with AYANEO Pocket Air Mini - that thing has SoC that is more powerful than T618 (along with 1280x960 60Hz screen, 2+32GB, Hall Effect sticks+triggers), and it's $70 currently on Indiegogo (it will be $90).
So I was hoping that T618 will go inside, given that screens in Anbernic DS are just 640x480, which might've made up for additional screen not to push it above $100.
Now, both T618 and MediaTek G90T will not run 3DS flawlessly, but this Rockchip RK3568, given that's just slightly refreshed RK3566, will probably run only lighter 3DS games.
- list of handhelds with RK3566, from low to high price (3DS is red, not suited much for it):
Not terribly disappointing really, not sure if anyone was really expecting 3DS on it anyway, it was more of a "will they surprise?" situation.
