Anbernic RG 35XX is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2022. Powered by ATM7039S (4-core, 1.6 GHz), 256MB DDR3 RAM and PowerVR SGX544MP GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480, 4:3). 2600 mAh battery. Runs Linux with BATOCERA support.
Under the hood sits an Actions Semiconductor ATM7039S SoC with four ARM Cortex-A9 cores at 1.6 GHz, paired with a PowerVR SGX544MP GPU at 450 MHz and 256 MB of DDR3 RAM. This hardware handles everything from Atari, NES, Game Boy, Mega Drive and SNES to arcade titles via MAME, Final Burn Neo and Neo Geo. Its realistic ceiling is SNES Super FX games and 3D PlayStation titles, which run mostly at 60 FPS. More demanding systems such as Nintendo 64, Dreamcast or PSP are beyond what it handles comfortably.
The 3.5-inch IPS display runs at 640 x 480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 60 Hz refresh rate, giving a sharp 228 ppi image that suits retro content well. The panel sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass, which improves clarity and durability.
Controls follow a classic layout: a cross D-pad placed up top, four face buttons, and L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons in a shelf arrangement. There are no analog sticks, so it is best for systems designed around a D-pad. Rumble adds feedback, while dedicated Menu, Power, Reset and volume buttons keep navigation simple. Audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker.
Charging uses a bottom-facing USB-C port, next to a 3.5mm headphone jack. A top-mounted Mini HDMI port lets you play on a TV. Cooling is passive, so the device runs silently. Storage is handled by dual microSD slots, which makes it easy to separate the system from your game library.
The stock proprietary Linux firmware is widely considered weak, but modding is fully permitted. The community-supported BATOCERA, GarlicOS and MinUI systems transform the experience with better menus, organization and emulator tuning.
Ideal for: retro fans on a budget who want a compact, pocketable handheld for 8-bit, 16-bit, arcade and PlayStation classics, and who enjoy tailoring their device with custom firmware.
