Anbernic struck gold with the RG35XX. It’s cheap, it’s pocketable, and it plays everything up to the PS1 remarkably well. But with the release of the "Plus" version, people are asking which one they should get.

The standard RG35XX is a horizontal device, like a mini Game Boy, and it's the king of GBA and SNES. The RG35XX Plus is a vertical device, similar to the Miyoo Mini, designed primarily for 8-bit and 16-bit games.

Honestly? The form factor is the deciding factor here. If you want horizontal ergonomics, get the original. If you want vertical, get the Plus. Both share the same powerful chipset (MIPS-based), meaning performance is nearly identical. It just comes down to how you like to hold your games.
