It looks like the KT-R1C is getting closer and closer to finally becoming real. According to Lei on the RGHANDHELDS.COM Discord, the approximate weight for the metal variety will be around 320g. I would have preferred Stacked Shoulders myself but this might still be a pretty awesome pocketable option!  When it becomes available for pre-order, more info should appear on their site:  https://ktr.la/shop Below are some new production images of the handheld assembled with an aluminum shell (colors are not final):

KT-R1 Render From 2020 It does look like the KT-R1 is still coming out but as the KT-R1C. The SD845 Version has officially been scrapped and replaced with the KT-R1C (Possibly 2 versions), one of which will sell for approximately $141 and release in March (tentatively)... Rumors have the new version running T610/T618 with two screen options (one the same screen as the Anbernic RG552) according to Lei on the RGHANDHELDS.COM Discord chat. If this price range sticks,  this could end up being much better than the Anbernic RG552 and still run up to GameCube.  I'm planning to keep a close eye on developments over the next couple months with this handheld. We've been talking about it since 2020, so hopefully it's successful.  Specs posted by Vaidotas on RGHANDHELDS.COM  Discord

Interestingly it appears there will be at least 4+ mo
