Anbernic RG 353V is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2022. Powered by RK3566 (4-core, 1.8 GHz), 2GB LPDDR4 RAM and Mali-G52 2EE GPU. Features a 3.5" Touchscreen, IPS LCD display (640 x 480, 4:3). 3200 mAh battery and WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2. Runs Android, Linux with ArkOS support.
Under the plastic body sits a Rockchip RK3566 SoC with four Cortex-A55 cores at 1.8 GHz, a Mali-G52 2EE GPU at 850 MHz and 2 GB of LPDDR4 RAM. That is plenty for 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, arcade systems through MAME, Final Burn Neo and Neo Geo, and the original PlayStation. N64, PSP and Dreamcast are mostly playable, though not every title runs at full speed. Heavier systems such as Saturn, GameCube, 3DS and PS2 sit beyond its comfortable reach.
The 3.5-inch IPS touchscreen runs at 640 x 480 and 60 Hz, giving a sharp 228 ppi. Its 4:3 aspect ratio matches most classic consoles, so retro games fill the panel without awkward stretching. The panel sits under OCA-laminated tempered glass for a clean, protected surface.
Controls follow the vertical Game Boy-style layout: a cross D-pad up top, symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3 clicks and four face buttons. L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons cover 3D titles, and rumble adds feedback. Dedicated volume buttons sit alongside Menu, Power and Reset keys. Audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker or the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
A 3200 mAh battery charges over USB-C. WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 handle wireless use, and the Mini HDMI output lets you play on a TV. Storage includes 32 GB of eMMC 5.1 plus dual microSD slots, so you can keep the system and your game library apart.
On the software side, the RG 353V dual-boots Android 11 and Linux. Android opens the door to advanced emulators and streaming apps such as Moonlight or Steam Link. Linux offers a lean, emulation-focused experience. Modding is permitted, and community firmwares like ArkOS, GammaOS and JELOS are supported.
Ideal for: retro fans who want a vertical handheld with a 4:3 screen, dual analog sticks and the freedom of dual-boot Android and Linux, covering classics up to PlayStation with a taste of N64, PSP and Dreamcast.
