Very good console. The size and shape are perfect for Gameboy and GC games. Game Boy Advance games look a bit smaller because the shape of the screen is adjusted to make it look complete. Still, the graphic and screen quality is spectacular.

I had some questions and Anbernic's customer service responded very quickly and favorably. Highly recommended to buy from Anbernic. Wonderful consoles. This is the 3rd one I've bought from them.

I want to love this device. it was great for the one day i used it. the flick of the screen rotation is very satisfying, and i was able to use it as an emulation device and as a digital audio player. my big gripe is that either i got a unit with a defective screen, or the screen is highly sensitive to breaking. i had it the rg rotate in my pocket, and when i took it out to play on it, the screen was damaged. while the screen is off, there is no visible damage to the screen. but when you power it on, it looks like there is a crack behind the glass part of the screen. i've owned many devices/phones with glass screens, and i've never had a damaged screen from being in my pocket. and like i mentioned above, i had only owned the device for 1 day. very disappointing. i definitely recommend keeping this in a hard case when not in use even if that ruins the portability off the device (which is supposed to be one of the benefits of this form factor).

.this device is best seen as a novelty handheld rather than a practical gaming machine. The screen is smaller than expected, and while the rotating display gimmick is striking, it reduces usability. Colors are overly saturated with strong contrast, which can become uncomfortable. Rotation also shifts orientation and perceived position, requiring adjustment during play.
Controls feel thin and cheap, making precise inputs unreliable, especially for fighting or timing-heavy games. Despite the metal shell, the weight is acceptable and grip is decent.
Core specs are limited: the 2,000mah battery is small by modern standards, and although labeled 32gb, only about 22gb is usable. The emcp storage is slow, making a fast microsd card effectively necessary.
Overall, this is primarily a collectible focused on its rotation feature rather than a serious gaming device. For actual gameplay, models like the rg34xxsp or rg35xxsp from anbernic offer better performance, usability, and value.
