Anbernic RG 353VS is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2022. Powered by RK3566 (4-core, 1.8 GHz), 1GB LPDDR4 RAM and Mali-G52 2EE GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480, 4:3). 3200 mAh battery and WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2. Runs Linux with ArkOS support.
This hardware is right at home with the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Mega Drive, Master System, PlayStation, Neo Geo and arcade titles through MAME, Final Burn Neo and CPS1/2/3 are all well covered, along with retro computers such as Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX and ZX Spectrum, plus engines like ScummVM, OpenBOR, Pico-8 and TIC-80. Nintendo 64, PSP and Dreamcast are mostly playable, though not every game reaches full speed, so they are best treated as a bonus rather than the main focus.
The 3.5-inch IPS display runs at 640 x 480 and 60 Hz, with a 4:3 aspect ratio and roughly 229 ppi. Because that shape matches most classic consoles, games fill the screen naturally without stretching. A tempered glass lens with OCA lamination protects the panel and keeps the image close to the surface.
Controls include a cross-shaped D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons, dual analog sticks with L3/R3 clicks, L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons and rumble. The sticks sit low on the vertical body, which some players find less comfortable during long sessions. Dedicated volume buttons plus Menu, Power and Reset keys round out the layout, all in a plastic shell measuring 83 x 126 x 21 mm and weighing 180 g.
A 3200 mAh battery charges over USB-C. WiFi 5 handles updates and artwork scraping, while Bluetooth 4.2 lets you pair external controllers. A Mini HDMI output sends games to a TV, and there is a 3.5mm headphone jack alongside a single front-facing mono speaker.
There is no internal storage; instead, dual microSD slots let you keep the system and your games on separate cards. The stock Linux firmware works out of the box, modding is permitted, and popular custom systems such as ArkOS and JELOS are supported for deeper tuning and customization.
Ideal for: retro fans who love the classic vertical form factor and want a 4:3 screen, analog sticks, wireless features and custom firmware support at a price around $90, focusing on systems up to PlayStation with some N64, PSP and Dreamcast on the side.
