Anbernic RG 300X is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2021. Powered by JZ4770 (2-core, 1.0 GHz), 512MB DDR2 RAM and Vivante GC860 GPU. Features a 3" IPS LCD display (640 x 480, 4:3). 2500 mAh battery. Runs Linux with OpenDingux support.
This hardware is aimed squarely at the 8-bit, 16-bit and classic handheld eras. NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Master System, Mega Drive, Game Gear, Atari systems, PC Engine, MSX, WonderSwan and Neo Geo Pocket are all on the menu. SNES and PS1 run almost entirely at full speed, with slight lag only on a few FX chip SNES games and some 3D PS1 titles. The supported list also covers MAME, Final Burn Neo, ScummVM, Pico-8, TIC-80, EasyRPG, MS-DOS and many more niche platforms.
The 3-inch IPS display has a 640 x 480 resolution in a 4:3 aspect ratio, which matches the proportions of classic games. It runs at 60 Hz with a pixel density of about 267 ppi, and it sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass for a crisp, protected image.
Controls follow a traditional layout, with the cross D-pad placed up top, four face buttons and four horizontal shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). There are no analog sticks. You do get rumble support, dedicated volume buttons, plus Power and Reset keys. Brightness is adjusted with a button combination. Dual front-facing stereo speakers deliver the sound. The plastic body measures 137 x 69 x 20 mm and weighs just 154 g, so it slips easily into a pocket.
A 2500 mAh battery powers the device, giving roughly 6–8 hours depending on the emulator and brightness. Connectivity is generous for its class:
- USB-C with OTG
- Mini HDMI video output
- a 3.5mm headphone jack
- dual microSD slots for system and game storage
The RG 300X runs OpenDingux, and modding is permitted. The community has embraced it with alternatives such as Rogue CFW and front-ends like SimpleMenu, which make it easy to organise games and themes.
Ideal for: retro fans who want an affordable, pocketable handheld with an authentic 4:3 screen, classic D-pad controls and near full-speed play up to SNES and PS1.
