The Anbernic RG35XX is Anbernic’s answer to the Miyoo Mini. It isn’t Anbernic’s first mini retro console but it is deemed as the successor to the Anbernic RG280V. Compared to the RG280V, it comes with a bigger screen, a slightly better processor and a bigger overall device which provides better ergonomic. The Anbernic RG35XX is a good beginner device for anyone looking to get onto retro gaming.

Pros

  • Right sized – not too small like the Anbernic 280V but smaller than peers. Provides better comfort during extended gaming sessions.
  • Great value!
  • Decent build quality, no loose parts or gaps.
  • 3.5 inch screen looks great with quite thin bezels.
  • TV out is a feature rarely found at this price point. This is one of the key advantage of the Anbernic RG35XX over the Miyoo Mini Plus.
  • Another key advantage is availability – the Anbernic RG35XX can be bought off many retailers without the need to wait for supply drop unlike devices from Miyoo where availability is always a concern.

Cons

  • There are D-pad issues which can be game breaking.
  • No Wi-Fi.
