It’s also laminated, meaning that there’s no air gap between the LCD itself and the front glass, and critically it has a 4:3 aspect ratio making it perfect for home console emulation like SNES and PS1. It’s just saturated enough that it’s pleasing to look at but doesn’t change the look of the source material. It’s bright and I really like the color tuning. Then there’s the screen, which is extremely good. The junction between the front and back housings is decent, as is the milling around the USB-C ports and microSD slots. Luckily the plastic housing is thick, rigid, and has a pleasant matte finish. It’s hard to get an impression of build quality from product pictures and YouTube videos, so I was a little worried about build quality. It turns out that the RG315V is huge compared to an actual Game Boy, but I am also an adult-sized person now, so I appreciate the upscale. Regardless, I got my RG351V after about a week (I opted for the fast shipping because I’m impulsive and impatient), and I’m not ashamed to admit that I ripped that box open fast.
As a child of the ‘90s I simply had no choice but to stan. To me the choice is obvious? But all the YouTube reviewers seem to have the wood-patterned one? Very suspicious. There was absolutely no question about which color I was getting: There’s a wood-patterned one (?), a gray one, and a translucent black one. I ordered mine directly from China via Anbernic’s AliExpress page.
Anbernic’s RG351V is one of the few devices with a vertical layout, like a Game Boy. The vast majority of them have a Switch-like layout with the screen in the middle and the controllers on the left and right.
For those not in the know, there’s an entire ecosystem of retro gaming handhelds out there.
