New Anbernic RG353M custom, configured Linux OS & Android, 256GB SD portable gaming handheld console

These custom consoles come with a fully configured Linux OS and Android OS, and optional carry cases that are ideal for on-the-go protection of the handheld console.

We are also offering HDMI adapters which could be used to connect the console to your HDMI monitor or television enabling you to play the games on a large screen display. This is ideal if you want to use it as a home console.

One of the newest and most beautifully designed RG353M with quad-core RK3556 chip has arrived and it is quite a beautiful and premium device. The most obvious and standout feature of this item is the design improvement from the previous generation of aluminum handhelds from Anbernic. Firstly, the bezels are smaller, the "Anbernic" logo is gone and it has a much more minimalistic appearance, resembling Apple products. The second noticeable feature will be the size and weight of this item, although the screen size remains the same as the previous generation, this item is slimmer and lighter compared to the older units such as the 350M and 351 MP, if you're an owner of these older models you'll appreciate the size and weight reduction, making this model more portable to carry around while traveling. For this specific reason, we're also offering optional carry cases with this item which will be ideal when traveling.

Anbernic is offering these handhelds in two colors, blue and what they call "deep purple" which looks more like a charcoal color, notice that it is lighter than the black 351MP, this is a much-welcomed new shade of color that is quite different from their previous options.

 

The performance will be very similar to the earlier-released 353P and 353V which have the same specifications and are powered by the RK3556 with 2GB of RAM. The unit also has a dual boot system which you can boot into Android OS or the Linux preconfigured SD card. within Android OS you can use your touchscreen displays well. Newly added Hall sensors on the joysticks provide smooth gameplay without the development of "stick drift" which is a common issue with traditional handhelds and controllers.

 

WHERE THIS SYSTEM EXCELS:

***It packs a punch, amazing power to size ratio, small enough to carry in the pocket and powerful enough to play challenging titles at higher frame rates, it also offers amazing battery life for on the go gaming, one of the most versatile units to choose from.

**PSP: running at x2 resolution, games play well, you may even be able to increase this to 4x for some games. 

**Dreamcast and PS1: these two run very well and we did not notice any issues when testing various titles that usually have frame rate drops and sound distortions, far exceed expectations.

**N64: usually the most difficult to emulate, emulation is much improved compared to the older generation of rk3326 handhelds, based on our testing this is a good improvement and well worth the upgrade if you own an older rk3326 device, would estimate that 95%+ of the library will be playable, the rest may require tweaks and using proper emulator core.

**Sega Saturn: amazing, this is by far the best Saturn emulation we've seen on a handheld, yabasanshiro emulator has improved quite a lot and this chip handles it well, all titles that were tested ran smoothly, and probably 95% of the library is comfortably playable 

 

You will also be able to use dual boot Android by simply taking out the SD card and booting into the Android operating system which will further allow you to play Android games and install Android apps, you will be able to use the pre-installed emulators in Android with your data card.

You will also be able to connect this device to an HDMI-supported monitor or TV (mini HDMI adapter not included)

Two color variations are available in Gray and transparent black, these systems also come with a protective screen that you can install.
