Anbernic RG35XX Plus
The RG35XX Plus is Anbernic's most popular entry-level handheld, beloved by the community for its near-perfect GBA and SNES performance at a wallet-friendly price. Running muOS or GarlicOS out of the box, it's the go-to recommendation for first-time retro handheld buyers. The D-pad and face buttons are widely praised as punching well above their price class.
