        The Anbernic RG DS Plus is an XL version of its predecessor, with bigger and better screens, better controls, nicer plastics, improved audio, and a built-in stylus holder. But they also kept the same CPU and trimmed some components to allow it to be cheaper than the original RG DS -- let's take an early look and see if it paid off.
