Retro handhelds below the $100 price tag are generally hit-and-miss. You'll either get something that's killer value or a cheap toy that summons buyer's regret every time you boot it up. There is no middle ground, and even Anbernic itself has seen its fair share of turkeys.
Starting at $64, the Anbernic RG35XX Plus aims to punch hard in the best gaming handheld ring. It wants to be a superior upgrade to the very average original RG35XX model; as a clone of the Miyoo Mini Plus it wants to prove its dominance; and it wants to make the case that budget handhelds are, actually, worth picking up over their more pricey counterparts.
