The Anbernic RG353M is one of the more premium devices from Anbernic. It is built of metal and this makes the device feels really nice on your hands. It is compact enough to fit in a pocket, yet not too small that ergonomics is compromised. It emulates well up to the 16 bit generation consoles and supports both Linux and Android. If you are looking for premium device and you are not fond of the mass market plastic devices, then this is one to look out for.
