Anbernic RG35 is a compact vertical retro handheld, released in 2026, built around the quad-core Rockchip RK3326 chip with 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM. Its 3.5-inch IPS 640 x 480 screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio is a natural fit for classic consoles, while dual thumbsticks with L3/R3 and four shoulder buttons open the door to 3D systems. It runs 3D PS1 and SNES FX titles at 60 FPS and handles much of the N64, Dreamcast and 2D PSP libraries, powered by a 3200 mAh battery and Linux, at a reference price of $38.

The Anbernic RG35 is a vertical handheld released in 2026, sitting in the $0–50 budget bracket with a reference price of $38. Inside is the Rockchip RK3326, a quad-core Cortex-A35 ARM processor clocked at 1.3–1.5 GHz, paired with a dual-core Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of LPDDR3 memory.

This hardware covers the classics without fuss: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES and Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. Even SNES FX titles and 3D PlayStation games reach 60 FPS. Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast are mostly playable, as are 2D PSP games, while 3D PSP titles remain out of reach. Nintendo DS and Sega Saturn are also among the supported platforms.

The 3.5-inch IPS screen has a 640 x 480 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, a density of around 229 PPI and a 60 Hz refresh rate. It is covered by OCA-laminated tempered glass, which brings the image closer to the surface. Brightness is adjusted through the menu.

On the controls side, the RG35 offers an upper-placed cross D-pad, four face buttons and symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3. The L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons are horizontal and arranged on a shelf, and rumble is included. There are also dedicated Menu, Power, Reset and volume buttons. The plastic body measures 81 x 128 x 22 mm and weighs 191 g.

The 3200 mAh battery charges via the top-facing USB-C port, which also supports OTG. The 3.5mm headphone jack sits on top as well, while sound comes from a single bottom-facing mono speaker.

The console runs Linux, and its dual microSD slots give you flexibility in storing the system and your game library.

Ideal for: players who want an affordable vertical handheld for 8- and 16-bit classics, Game Boy Advance and PlayStation, with a good chunk of the N64 and Dreamcast libraries as a bonus.
