Anbernic RG35XXSP review

The Anbernic RG35XXSP is the folding pick for players who want a small device for older games. Anbernic lists a clamshell design with a 3.5-inch 640*480 IPS screen with OCA lamination, an H700 quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU at 1.5GHz, a dual-core Mali-G31 MP2 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and a 64-bit Linux system. Dual TF card slots take cards up to 512GB. The 3300mAh battery is rated for 8 hours, and the device has 2.4/5G Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth 4.2, which Anbernic says only works with Bluetooth controllers. A video player, music player, file manager and e-book reader are built in. The price was $52.19 on sale against a regular $64.99 when we checked. With 1GB of RAM, it is meant for 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit era games rather than later 3D systems. We compared documented features and published prices only.
