Great form factor

Really enjoy this device, far more sturdy than my RG35XX. Stock firmware is good, having options of others to add ma hones is great. Form factor is really comfortable and small enough to take anywhere. Got case at same time, perfect fit for it.

Perfect fit, but a bit snug for wires and the ANBERNIC label is on the bottom...

It does the job and works fine, to hold and protect the RG353P, but there are tiny things. I wouldn't recommend putting anything, except a screen wipe in the top, as the case is very right and you will put pressure on the device, and the ANBERNIC branding, is on the bottom of the case, which is just a shame.

The One

This might not be the best chipset out there, but this is exactly the console I have been waiting for - a SNES controller with a screen in the middle and analogue sticks! Plays everything I would hope for, feels amazing, looks perfect.

Great handheld

Great handheld straight out of a box. Would recommend to install ArkOs though for better experience. Loving it. Fits in my hands a lot better than vertical ones I used to get.

It takes some work, but exceptional device...

Great controls, beautiful screen, very compact, amazing battery life, very easy to use Linux stock-firmware and generally speaking, you could use this straight from the box, within seconds.

But I'd recommend you at least replace the supplied memory cards, with better quality branded ones.

And if you have the time, I would also recommend installing JELOS to replace the stock Linux firmware, and also update the Android to the Anbernic released version (although I never use the Android myself).

I have encountered one small issue though.

The Linux boot up, whether the stock firmware or JELOS do not boot up each time you turn it on. Sometimes it takes a "reset" to make it work. Not the worst issue ever, but a small bit frustrating. Unsure if hardware issue or firmware.

What an incredible machine for its size!!

I'm loving this Retro Gaming Handheld so much! I bought it knowing it could handle N64 and Dreamcast and it does not disappoint! I'm actually playing through some old Master System titles at the moment; properly reliving my youth. What an absolute blast! Very happy with my purchase. Can highly recommend this. Looks super cool in the clear black too!!
