The Anbernic RG Rotate is one of the more unusual Android emulation handhelds I’ve seen, thanks to its square 720x720 screen that swivels open to reveal the controls underneath. But is that rotating display actually useful, or is it just a gimmick?

In this review, I test the RG Rotate with everything from Atari and Game Boy through arcade, PlayStation, N64, and more to see where it performs best, where the lack of analog controls becomes a limitation, and whether this distinctive little handheld is worth your attention.
