Comment on Hands On with the Anbernic RG Rotate: Weird, Unique, and Instantly my Favorite

It’s a cute device. My only concern is, how durable is the screen? Does it use Gorilla display like on smartphones, so it can handle scratches and a fall from small height in example? I think a clamshell design would have been better, but then you cannot use the display without opening it up. On the other side, for all those tasks you would use without opening it up, I would probably prefer my phone. I’m probably a more practical guy. This definitely need some extra protection layer.
I don’t want to sound too negative here, as I just focus one aspect while watching the images and videos. The form factor is pretty cool and I’m glad Anbernic is experimenting with many designs. So this is not a complaint reply here.

It definitely isn’t Corning who are covering the top of this one. It just ‘feels’ the same as my phone screens, but I’m not actually sure what the surface is! Someone else asked me to check, so I’ve asked my friend at Anbernic (will update here if I remember!). All I can say for sure now is that it has the exact same feel as all my phones do.
I’m like you though, in that I’ll be very interested in how this looks after say 6 months of use. It does come with a screen protector, and the soft case it has will protect it in transit.
