The Anbernic RG35XX Pro is a compact retro handheld with real upgrades. You get dual analog sticks, wifi, bluetooth and hdmi out in a pocket size with a bright 3.5-inch 640×480 ips screen. Inside are the Allwinner H700 and 1 GB ram, with a 3200 mAh battery for long sessions. My verdict: small but mature, exactly the improvements you want and therefore a super fine daily driver.

The Anbernic RG35XX 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 pocket in no time.
This is by far one of the most popular handhelds at the moment, which makes sense. Its predecessor, the RG35XX Plus, is really a great device and is still my personal preference of the two. But if you want an update AND analogue sticks, this is the new standard.
If you want to read a comprehensive review, check out RetroReady.
The RG35XX Pro feels like a full-fledged upgrade. Thanks to the dual analog sticks, control becomes just a little more versatile. 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 casing 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.
Which makes this handheld extra special at RetroGear: We install the latest version of muOS as standard on all models we deliver.
muOS is a custom firmware that starts up faster, runs more stably and is clearer than the standard software. So you immediately get an optimised experience, without having to tweak it yourself. We make sure you get off to a great start right away.
For anyone looking for a compact retro handheld that feels just a little more grown-up. Ideal if you want to do short sessions on the go or relax on the couch at home. The combination of size, controls and features makes this a very fine daily driver.
This is a logical and welcome evolution. No unnecessary frills, just the upgrades that matter. The RG35XX Pro starts up quickly, remains stable and is just fun to hold. Combined with the latest version of muOS, you instantly have an optimised experience without the hassle.
If you want a small handheld that can do a surprising amount, this is an excellent choice.
Can I use 3D systems on it?
Yes, thanks to the dual analog sticks, the controls feel more versatile. With heavier applications, expect some fine-tuning in settings at times.
Does HDMI out work properly on TV?
Yes, with the right cable you connect the handheld and use it on big screen.
How do I expand my storage?
Insert a microSD card in one of the slots and organise your files in clear folders. Backups are easily copied to your computer.
Does the battery last an evening?
With normal use, you save several hours in a row. Brightness and volume affect total playing time.
That way, you'll be on your way right away.

Great retro handheld! I bought the RG35XXPro last August/September. I tested it for a while. This year I installed Knulli 2 on it and I’m so happy with it. And the service – just wow! I had a bit of trouble with the first delivery, but after getting in touch with the owner, he was so helpful. I got some cool little Pokémon with my handheld… it takes me right back to my youth, with a smile. Cheers, mate

A really lovely retro handheld, especially when used with Knulli. My first one had a few issues with the screen, but it was replaced very quickly – top-notch service. I’ve been using the second one for a few months now and it works a treat. I’m absolutely delighted with it – it really brings back memories of the old days.

Nice shop. Unfortunately, the RG35xx Pro wasn’t in stock and took longer than stated… Patience is a virtue :) But I finally received it after two weeks. And it was definitely worth the wait.

Great online shop and friendly service. Do make sure you double-check the delivery address when entering it, though. The parcel was going to be delivered somewhere completely different. I sorted that out by changing the delivery to a collection point, but it’s not really ideal.
