Details and specs
The RG35XX SP is a folding handheld that copies the Game Boy Advance SP’s shape. The lid protects the screen in a pocket, and the sharp 3.5-inch 640x480 screen suits classic games. It handles 8-bit, 16-bit, arcade and PS1 games well, and has mini HDMI out, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a headphone jack.
There’s no analog stick, so 3D games and PS1 games that use two sticks are awkward, and N64 and Dreamcast support is limited. The buttons are a little clicky. You’re paying extra for the folding shape, since the non-folding RG35XX Plus has the same chip. This listing is the official Anbernic store, and other sellers list it for less, so compare before you buy.
- 3.5-inch 640x480 IPS screen
- Allwinner H700 chip, 1 GB RAM
- Linux
- Two microSD slots
- 3300 mAh battery
- Mini HDMI out, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2
