Anbernic RG353V and RG353VS are vertical retro handhelds designed for classic emulation with a focus on portability and traditional controls. They feature a 3.5-inch 640×480 IPS display with a 4:3 aspect ratio and are powered by the Rockchip RK3566 chipset, making them well suited for emulation up through PlayStation 1 and select Nintendo 64 titles. The RG353V adds dual analog sticks and dual-boot support for Linux and Android, while the RG353VS removes the analog sticks and runs Linux only for a simpler, more classic experience. Both models emphasize a nostalgic Game Boy–style layout, positioning them as solid options for users who prefer vertical handhelds with reliable retro performance.
