Anbernic RG35XX Pro

Buy Anbernic RG35XX Pro

AnbernicRG35XX Pro is a small powerhouse with big ambitions. Everything that made the original RG35XX fine, but with real upgrades: dual analogue sticks, wifi, bluetooth and hdmi out. And all in a compact handheld that fits in your jacket pocket in no time.

This is by far the most popular handheld at the moment, which makes sense. Its predecessor the RG35xx Plus is really a great device and is still my preference of these two. But if you want an update, and want analogue sticks, this is the new standard.

Why this handheld

The RG35XX Pro feels like a full-fledged upgrade. Thanks to the dual analog sticks, 3D games become truly enjoyable to play. Wifi and bluetooth give you freedom to sync, use online features or wirelessly pair a controller. Hdmi out is ideal if you occasionally want to play on big screen. The housing is sturdy, the face buttons are responsive and the d-pad is sleek and precise. Available in black, white and transparent teal. The latter hints nicely at the familiar transparent style.
