Anbernic RG 351M is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2021. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1GB DDR3 RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (320 x 480, 3:2). 3500 mAh battery. Runs Android, Linux with 351Droid support.
Inside sits the Rockchip RK3326 SoC with four Cortex-A35 cores running at 1.3 to 1.5 GHz, paired with a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, cooled passively by a heatsink. It handles everything up to SNES FX titles and 3D PlayStation games at 60 FPS. 2D PSP games are mostly playable, while 3D PSP needs frameskip, and N64 and Dreamcast are mostly playable for the easier-to-emulate games. The supported library is huge, spanning arcade systems such as MAME, Final Burn Neo and Neo Geo, 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, Nintendo and SNK handhelds, and retro computers like Amiga, MS-DOS, MSX and ZX Spectrum.
The 3.5-inch IPS screen has a resolution of 320 x 480 (HVGA, 3:2, about 165 ppi) and refreshes at 60 Hz. It sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass, which suits the low-resolution pixel art of classic platforms.
The layout puts a cross D-pad in the upper position, next to four face buttons and symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3. Four horizontal shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2) and rumble add to the experience. There's a volume wheel, dedicated power and reset buttons, and brightness is set via a button combination. The controls are USB-based, and the controller can struggle to reconnect after sleep in non-RetroArch emulators. It may also disconnect at around 30% to 40% battery.
Power comes from a 3500 mAh battery, charged through either of the two USB-C OTG ports. Connectivity includes WiFi, a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD storage. Dual stereo speakers face downward from the bottom of the device.
On the software side, the device runs Android 11, and modding is openly permitted. Custom OS support is excellent: 351Droid, 351ELEC, ArkOS, BATOCERA, EmuELEC, Lakka and Lineage are all options, so you can choose the interface and emulator setup that suits you best.
Ideal for: retro enthusiasts who want a sturdy metal handheld with dual analog sticks, a wide library up to PlayStation and a strong custom firmware ecosystem, without needing the latest hardware.
