The 3.5” IPS display runs at a 640×480 resolution at 4:3 aspect ratio which is perfect for retro gaming. The RG35XX display looks bright and colourful and not so small it is hard to see any detail.

There is an included 64GB Micro SD card with the RG35XX which contains the Linux based operating system and game storage. A second Micro SD card up to 512GB can be used for additional game storage on the retro gaming handheld. The RG35XX now also supports dual OS, allowing you to either use the official OS or GarlicOS

The RG35XX retro gaming handheld has a classic style D-Pad with the standard gaming buttons. On the back on the handheld are four additional buttons which can be used in supported emulators.

Measuring only 3.18 x 4.6 x 0.7 inches (8.1 x 11.7 x 2.0 cm) and weighing just 165g, the RG35XX is very light and portable, fitting into a pocket or small bag.

For the money, no better entry / form factor

Superb entry into the retro handheld world - This alongside Steam Deck emulation is exactly what I needed to cover those ultra portable back pocket moments in the week. Highly recommend flashing OnionOS as unlocks more potential and cleaner overall. Having looked in depth the chipset is basic, but anything through Amiga to PS1 (not N64 bear in mind) works like a dream. Personally PS1 on this not for me but doable. For the price and the service from DroidX there is nothing to not praise - although as a fair review the inner triggers are very poor in both quality and location/ease of use, but they are there. Pros and cons are there for this vs the Miyo Mini for sure. But very close contenders and also consider - you can actually get your hands on this one !

Amazing device. Super fast delivery

Amazing device. Super fast delivery (UK stock). Easy to use. The D pad feels just like a classic SNES controller and so do the buttons(imo the best d pad to date) r buttons a bit fiddly but can be changed (third party). Once it's up and running to your own setup you'll love it.

Great little entry level retro device

To start, this is my second handheld from Droix, first being the RG351p, which was brilliant itself but although i preferred the form factor at the time it just wasnt comfortable for extended periods in my hands. This one, although still small, much more comfortable.
Screen is fantastic, bright and clear and feels bigger than it actually is. Sound is good, but we are talking about mainly 8-16bit eras so sound wasn’t exactly for the audiophile back then. Ease of use, stock OS is fine for the beginner, clear and easy to use but the unit does come into its own when a custom one is installed, same goes for all anbernic really, my old RG351p included. Currently using Garlic OS, and utilising the dual SD card ports, one for OS and the other for roms, its a totally different experience.
If i had one piece of advice, replace the stock SD card that comes bundled with it as they are unbranded and probe to failure (sandisk and samsung cards are the go to in my opinion).
To conclude, if PS1 and below is your target and want something reliable and portable, i highly recommend the RG35XX.
