NEW ANBERNIC RG35XX

The device arrived very quickly, considering it was during Chinese New Year.

Regarding the device's feel, it feels great and is just the right size for the pocket. The only downside is the D-pad, which is too sensitive. I can control up or down with the side buttons by simply pressing them, which is not always desirable. The Y button doesn't always work, but I can live with it since I use A and B more frequently.

What bothers me personally (though this is subjective) is that the battery is only 2600mAh, while the Plus model with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth has a 3300mAh battery. Why use the smaller battery here? Wouldn't it have been better to keep the larger battery, especially now that there's more space?

Overall, it's a great device, and it's more than enough for gaming and passing the time.

Overall score: 4 out of 5 stars or 8/10 on my scale.

I love the rg35xx. It has all of my favorite retro games and systems. Very easy to navigate through the menus.

First off, I’m a casual gamer, I grew up with the classics of the late 80s and 90s; nes, snes, sega and turbo grafx. My siblings were harder into games while I was more into the the slam bang side scrollers and peaked with PS2. Well, a few years ago, after some extraordinary life circumstances, I needed a new hobby and turned to retro gaming and while discovering some games I would otherwise have never played, collecting and playing on original hardwares became extremely cumbersome on my wallet, looking for an alternative, I was recommended Ambernic and here they all, working perfectly all in one place. I was able to curate the games featured on this set while having plenty of other options and latent discoveries. I wish Sega Saturn emulation wasn’t so hard, but that’s just an observation and not a complaint.

I love this thing, and I love that I can play anytime anywhere.

This device is bomb. So good. Wish it had WiFi, but it’s still great.

The device does not work. It won't boot up and doesn't do anything at all. Not even when I charge the device. When I report this to Anbernic I get strange instructions to solve the problem. I have to open the device myself to reconnect the battery and then install an update. I think this is a shame, because I bought this console for a friend and he has been waiting for a solution for almost 2 weeks. The device I bought for myself works perfectly.
