@@cjjorge6636 god of war works fine? , I have the latest ark os and it doesn't run great at all , maybe with lots of frame skip , but then it looks choppy
i have a steam deck for the harder to emulate games , but its massive and expensive to take to work on my break , I'm more than happy with my r36s , it plays vice city PC port perfectly , plus half life , alien vs predator, fallout 1 and 2 , stardew valley etc , it also plays any video format I throw at it , for 28 quid its a bargain device
R36S can mount and unmount the USB C port in Ark OS' settings. You can just use your phone to download and transfer. Or a flash drive, etc. Not as cool as a dual OS, though.
Ive got both before the anbernic 353 is my first unit to have out of curiosity i purchase r36 i immediately notice the difference on both button and i can say anbernic is way ahead and also the boot time. My advise is if your buget is tight r36 will do ok but if you want more premium and a little add power and the button click satisfying go with anbernic 353v. In my case i ended up selling my r36 because there is no use of keeping them both.
@@jacu27 I should have asked before, but in your opinion, what would you say if money doesn't matter, what would be the most powerful handheld that has this same form factor right now in 2024.
Don't expect much from r36s because there are a lot of hardware differences, but the good thing is that if you install Arkos to the latest update, you can play very well. 😊
@ decently. Some games run GREAT, some more intense games has frame drops but overall very playable. I have a modded PSP 1000 and it is just so much better at PSP then the RG353v (duh) it's worth it to just get a PSP for PSP games.
@ not good. Lol god of war stutters pretty bad. The RG353 can handle 80% of psp but the harder to run ones like GTA and god of war def struggle. Playable technically but it's not a good experience. You you wanna play god of war, i would look at other handhelds for sure.
I was looking into getting a handheld and after alllll the handhelds I’ve looked at because there’s so goddam many I think picking this up for 100 $cad is the best bang for buck, I wanted a trimui smart pro but I think the performance on this is far better.

What people don't realize is that the r36s is almost $100 cheaper, and can actually run PSP games pretty decent for the chip it uses, especially if you tamper with the settings to make it run smoother. It also has an infinitely better screen than most more expensive retro gaming consoles, especially for the price point.
Which has the better screen quality. Better contrast and colors? I have the orange r36s and was going to get the green and red for $80 but i thought about the 353v but is the screen as good as the r36s? Hard to tell from the video

353V is also dual OS. So I prefer that one all around, I can download and transfer roms and files without a pc.
R36S can mount and unmount the USB C port in Ark OS' settings.
You can just use your phone to download and transfer. Or a flash drive, etc.
Not as cool as a dual OS, though.
Of course the RG353V is better it has a RK3566 and the R36S has a RK3326. Not to mention the RG353V has more ram
I prefer r36s length, round screen, speaker placement
I prefer rg353v membrane, select-start layout, processor, and closer analogs.

RG353v has the rk3566 which is quite more powerful than what the r36s has. And it's around double price too.
R36s slightly bigger and better to hold and more comfortable.
Don't expect much from r36s because there are a lot of hardware differences, but the good thing is that if you install Arkos to the latest update, you can play very well. 😊
R36's screen is much better quality than the other one.

Honestly really love how cheap the R36s is, so it'd be expected to see how bad some games get. Though being playable with tweaking is still nice
For price point RK3326 its still good cpu but its nothing to compare vs RK3566 its a blast chip.

You will be surprised how many people use these consoles for dreamcast , psp or n64 games 🎮
Noob, RG353v can be hooked up to a TV for a big screen , and you can use a joystick.its a mini videogame
R36S runs any PS1 games even with graphics patch enabled
The psp screen was barely bigger than this. It’s not like it had an 8 inch screen on it lol. “Who buys a handled to play handheld games”

R36s has brighter screen ,better colors and sharpness and that's the fact , but of course v version are more powerfull with overall better quality
for 37 euro i got the r36s its amazing handheld...but ofc doesnt compare with the quality /controls/perfomance of my 353v....
R36s screen looks like it has better blacks. I own the 353v, and it’s nice, just got to tinker with it a bit for n64.
To be honest? I sort of wish I would have spent just a little bit more, and purchased a Retroid as opposed to my 353v.
i have an original psp and vita i dont need another console of those but the fact that this can emulate ps1 without any issues in my book that is worth it for me

Absolutely agree, R36s is definitely the cheapest what you can have with decent performance and awesome screen
@@jacu27 agree 💯%
For retro games up to PS1 R36S its for you
353 also has touch screen PLUS runs both android and linux
They’re need to add a charge adapter. That’s my biggest complaint
I would not want to play PSP games on both of these devices anyway, due to 4:3 screen ratio.
This really help a lot , thanks 🙏
