'Anbernic,' the handheld gaming console company, officially launched the 'RG353M' all-metal, pocket-sized gaming device. This is the fourth and final iteration of the company's RG353 collection, which stands for Retro Gaming 3.5-inch series 3. As the final piece in the collection, the RG353M is an excellent device that combines all of the fan-favorite features from Anbernic's past devices.
The RG353M is powered by the same RK3566 processor as the other devices in the series. However, the RG353M features on-board wifi, on-board Bluetooth, an NVMe SSD, two SD card slots, dual-boot with Linux and Android 11, and a full touch screen display. The RG353M also features Anbernic's proprietary Android front end that conveniently organizes installed games into a single application navigatable by the controller.
Anbernic's RG353M is available now at an MSRP of $146.99 USD, following its discounted launch price of $135 USD.
