The RG353M is the ultimate handheld gaming console with high performance and reliability all contained in a stylish aluminium alloy case.

The RG353M handheld gaming console features the RK3566 quad core Cortex-A55 CPU that runs up to 1.8GHz. There is 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 32GB of internal eMMC 5.1 storage for Android 11 OS. The Linux OS comes on its own 16GB card. There is a second card that is 64GB which is used for the game files storage.

The RG353M measures only 5.07 x 2.7 x 0.62 inches (14.5 x 7.05 x 1.59 cm) and weighs 232 grams. Despite it having an aluminum alloy case it remains very light to carry. The handheld gaming console is extremely portable, fitting into a jacket pocket or small bag

The handheld gaming console has a 3.5” IPS multi touch screen with a 640*480 screen resolution which is perfect for retro gaming. On the RG353M are the usual gaming controls including dual analogue sticks and gaming buttons for pixel perfect precision and 3D accuracy. There is also a function button which depending on the OS used, will bring up the in-emulator menu or return to the home screen.

The Linux OS runs a combination of Emulation Station and RetroArch to provide a wealth of gaming options on many classic game’s consoles from the 1970’s to more modern day on the RG353M. The Android OS requires some setting up but ultimately provides a wider range of computers and consoles to relive the classics on. You can also go the third route by installing a custom firmware on a SD card to use on the handheld gaming console which provides over 90 classic systems to choose from!

The RG353M features WiFI so you can connect online with compatible games and systems to play two player games online. There is also mini-HDMI output to connect the handheld gaming console to the TV and game on a larger screen. You can also use it on Android to install any apps you download over the internet.

You can learn more about it in our RG353M review here which goes into further detail on all aspects of this handheld gaming console from unboxing, benchmark tests and emulator performance.

Almost perfect mobile retro station

Excellent build quality and ergonomics are perfect for d-pad, 4:3 games so ideal for 80-90 arcade games and home consoles. PSX and Dreamcast runs well for most titles but N64/PSP games are hit and miss (even with dedicated emulator on Android). Analog sticks are very good for short ones (smooth and precise) but badly placed to me. Emulation of more 'exotic' devices like DS or Atari ST/Amiga/ScummVM also shows that external controllers such a mouse and keyboard aren't a luxury. HMDI output and second controller (wired or bluetooth) works well and can turn the handheld into a on-the-go retro party console. Overall very pleased with my purchase, it's small enough to fit a small handbag or a large pocket while retaining a screen size that is comfortable for 4:3 aspect game.

An attractive, premium-feeling device I carry on me all the time

The Anbernic RG353M is a great little device, it is good looking and feels great to handle. The buttons, d-pad and sticks feel good to use. My only two criticisms of the controls are the shoulder buttons, I would like them stacked, but this is a complaint I have about many Anbernic devices, and I would like the left stick and d-pad swapped around (not really a problem on the smaller devices, but can make playing games more uncomfortable on larger devices) It isn't a huge issue usually, just something which I would like Anbernic to change and I know it is something which people have raised for a while now. The device plays well with the stock software. I found the RG351M played well, especially with custom firmware, including (with frameskip and some other tweaks) many PSP games and N64 and Dreamcast, so I expected as a minimum that this would outperform the older device, and it does. I only really play up to N64, Dreamcast, PSP and Saturn and generally these play well, so does what I've played of DS. I've not tried GameCube or PS2 and imagine it would struggle with these and not really be a device to use if these were the consoles you were purchasing this for. My main reason for getting it was portability, style and battery life. I have the RG552 which is great, especially with custom firmware, but it is much larger, heavier and has very limited battery life, but it's performance is obviously much higher. But due to the battery life and the speed the battery drains even when the device is off I wanted something smaller with longer battery life but that could still play everything I like to play to quite a good standard. The RG353M does that. I've not really checked out the Android side of the device so I can't really comment on that. I know it is meant to run even better, but I'm happy with how I use it. I imagine there will be custom firmware which will be even more optimised making the device run even better, so if you are looking for a small attractive, premium looking device which can play most games on systems up to N64, PSP, DS, DreamCast, and Saturn, which has good battery life, then this device is likely for you. If you want to play PS2 or GameCube games, or you struggle with small devices and controls, which could cause hand cramps etc, then this device probably isn't suitable. I think for the price and the premium look and feel and what it can do and how good games look playing on the screen, and the sound quality, this was definitely a good purchase and one I would recommend to others.

Great device

Have this machine running on arkOS instead of the native firmware and it's doing great. Most old systems run perfect to about N64. Psp I have no luck so far. It also ports pc games. And currently I'm having great fun with the ported pc version of Stardew valley. If you own this game on steam you can get the files you need. I don't use the android side at all.

Awesome Handheld

This thing is fantastic! It’s been a blast going through my library of SNES, Daphne, PSX, PSP and Dreamcast games. The system runs really well with JELOS and have little complaints. The only real item I’m missing is a good hibernation system as occasionally putting it to sleep freezes it.

Top quality device with great performance

Quick dispatch. Device is better than expected, does everything I wanted, all in a retro handheld. Very impressed with the quality of the device, far better than I first thought. Buttons feel great and screen is top quality. Will definitely buy this brand again and would highly recommend it along with purchasing again on this site.

Ambernic RG353M

The product Ambernic RG353M arrived in good shape. It was firmly wrapped. In my short user experience I got to say a 5/5 product! It also came with a 64Gb sd card with lots of pre-installed games. A great purchase! Buying from Droix was easy and shipping was only 7 days. I'll never buy hanhelds from anywhere else.

Great but expensive retro handheld

There’s a couple bugs with the initial os, booting into retroarch for example will (regardless of input settings inside or out of retroarch) assign dpad up and dpad left to analogue, you have to go into retroarch input and reassign the dpad every time to stop the bug, most likely a custom os will solve this issue as I think it’s pulling from the front end settings but I haven’t checked. That aside the device itself is pretty sturdy and feels well made, buttons are nice and springy although the dpad does rock a little too easy right and left when pressing up or down, it’s not quite ergonomic in my hands (average adult sized) so perhaps the 353p will rest in your hands longer before the start cramping up, I had to rest my pinky underneath the device when playing for support and it hurts after awhile. While I appreciate the top class magnetic analogue sticks it wasn’t as smooth or comfortable as most modern controllers, I’d place them above switch native but below my switch hori split pad pro, far below an xbox or ps4 controller however. The screen protector didn’t take long before it peeled off but even without it the screen is nice, good colour temp and scales well with older games tho some text is hard to read unless integer scaling. Speakers are not the best but better than expected given the size and WiFi did a good enough job scraping for media. The price tho, which has like everything else been going up considerably doesn’t really sit well with me, about £120 would be the max on reflection I would have paid had I tried it out beforehand. I would consider if only for the possibly better form factor the RG353p

A Step Above But Not Beyond

A comfortable upgrade to the RG350P, with improved power but not enough to truly push the system above its competitors. The key appeal here is a reliable system with solid build quality and a Linux OS rather than Android. With a custom firmware, this becomes a very solid system for retro gaming.
