Anbernic Discount Code: 10% Off the RG35XX, RG DS, RG Cube and More

Anbernic RG35XX family: the best first handheld (under $65)

The RG35XX 2024, RG 35XXPro, RG35XX H, RG35XXSP, RG34XX, RG 34XXSP and RGSP all run the same H700 quad-core chip with 1GB of RAM and Linux. They play the same games equally well, so the real differences are the body (vertical, horizontal or clamshell), the screen, Wi-Fi and the number of analog sticks. Two sticks help with 3D games; a clamshell protects the screen in a bag; a vertical body is the most pocketable.

The tiny RG28XX uses the same chip with a 2.83-inch screen and is the cheapest Anbernic you can buy.

A bigger screen on the same chip: RG 40XXV, RG40XX H and RG CubeXX

If a 3.5-inch screen feels small, these three keep the H700 chip and a price around $60 but give you more screen. The RG 40XXV is vertical and the RG40XX H horizontal, both with a 4-inch 640×480 screen. The RG CubeXX has a square 3.95-inch 720×720 screen, which shows 4:3 and square-ish games with less black border.

Anbernic RG DS and the dual-screen models

The RG DS is one of the most searched Anbernic handhelds right now, and for good reason: two screens for under $100. It and the RG DS Plus cost about the same but suit different buyers. The RG DS runs Android 14 or Linux with 3GB of RAM and two 4-inch touchscreens. The RG DS Plus runs Linux only with 1GB of RAM, but its two 4.3-inch 1024×768 screens are sharper and the lower one works with the included stylus. Both sleep when you close the lid.

The new RG DDS is the premium option: a 4.7-inch top screen, a 4-inch bottom screen, a Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 chip and Android 16. It is a pre-order; ANBERNIC's shipping page says shipments are expected to start on December 10, 2026.

Android on a budget: RG Rotate, RG VITA and RG Cube

Android models run emulator apps, Android games and streaming apps, and they have touchscreens. The RG Rotate and the standard RG VITA use the older Unisoc T618. The RG Cube steps up to the T820 with 8GB of RAM and a square 720×720 screen, and at $122.99 against a regular $169.99 it is the best value Android model in the lineup. Standard versions ship without a game card.

More power: RG 406V, RG 476H, RG Slide, RG 55G1 and RG556

These mid-range Android models cost $135 to $175. Four of them use the T820 chip with 8GB of RAM, so pick by screen and shape: the RG 406V is vertical with a 4-inch screen, the RG 476H has a 4.7-inch 120Hz screen in a 4:3 shape that suits older games, the RG Slide hides its controls under a sliding 4.7-inch screen, and the RG556 has a 5.48-inch AMOLED. The RG 55G1 uses a Snapdragon G1 Gen 2 with a 5.5-inch 1080p screen and the biggest battery in this group.

Flagships: RG 477V, RG 477M, RG 557 and WIN600

The top Android models all use the Dimensity 8300, by far the fastest chip ANBERNIC sells, with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and fan cooling. The RG 477V and RG 477M share a 4.7-inch 120Hz screen (the 477M has an aluminum body), while the RG 557 has a 5.48-inch 1080p AMOLED. Only buy one of these if you play demanding systems; for older games the cheaper models do the job. The WIN600 runs Windows for PC games.

How to buy an Anbernic handheld and save

1. Choose Linux or Android. Linux is cheaper and simpler for older systems; Android brings more power, a touchscreen and apps.
2. Pick the warehouse on the product page. Most models list China, US and sometimes EU stock. US stock usually arrives faster, but colors and versions sell out there first.
3. Choose the version. Android models come as a standard version without a game card, with RAM and storage options on the bigger models.
4. Unlock the 10% offer and check the total. Unlocking the offer at the top of this page opens ANBERNIC's store, and 10% off applies at checkout. Shipping is added by weight and destination, so compare the delivered total, not the sticker price.
5. Time it if you can. ANBERNIC cuts prices during big sales such as 11.11 (Singles' Day) in November and Black Friday.
6. Test it the day it arrives. Returns close 15 days after delivery.

Shipping and returns

Orders are processed in 2 to 4 business days, and shipping is calculated at checkout from the weight, size and destination. You can cancel within 12 hours of ordering if it hasn't shipped.

Returns are accepted within 15 days of delivery for US orders if the device is new, unused and in its original box. For a change of mind, you pay 25% of the order amount plus the return label, with a $35 minimum. A device that arrives faulty can be returned free within those 15 days. After that, the 12-month warranty covers free replacement parts rather than a refund.

Anbernic buying questions

What is the best Anbernic handheld for beginners?

The RG35XX H or the RG35XXSP. Both use the H700 chip with Wi-Fi, cost about $50 to $65 and run the same Linux games, so pick the horizontal body (RG35XX H) or the clamshell (RG35XXSP).

Which Anbernic RG35XX should I buy?

All current RG35XX models share the H700 chip, so performance is the same. The RG35XX 2024 is the cheapest but has no Wi-Fi; the RG35XX H adds Wi-Fi and two sticks in a horizontal body; the RG35XXSP is the clamshell; the RG 35XXPro is vertical with two sticks.

Is Anbernic legit?

Yes. ANBERNIC is a Chinese handheld maker that sells through its own store at anbernic.com, with US, EU and China warehouses, a 15-day return window and a 12-month warranty. Buy from the official store or a well-known marketplace rather than unknown resellers.

Linux or Android Anbernic?

Linux models are cheaper and simpler and suit older systems. Android models cost more but have stronger chips, touchscreens, more RAM and access to Android apps and streaming.

Is the Anbernic RG DS worth it?

If you want two screens for under $100, yes. The RG DS has two 4-inch touchscreens, 3GB of RAM and runs Android 14 or Linux. The RG DS Plus costs about the same with sharper 4.3-inch screens but runs Linux only with 1GB of RAM.

Do Anbernic handhelds come with games?

The Linux models ship with a microSD card for the system, and most Android models are sold as a standard version with no card. Only play games you own.

Anbernic vs Retroid: which is better?

Retroid focuses on Android handhelds. ANBERNIC covers more ground, from Linux models under $50 to Android flagships and a Windows handheld, so it is the easier pick on a tight budget or if you want a specific shape such as a clamshell or two screens.
