Thanks for this comparison, detailed and easy to understand IMO! Good content!

[@jonathonearl482]

I went with the Gray Edition ANBERNIC RG505 and it's totally awesome! It has become my favorite. As far as the 353 series, I got the RG353P and I really like that one as well.

[@cirealreviews1776]

Is the RG505 a comparable to the Retroid Pocket 3+ ?? Could you put a Xbox emulator on the RG505? I'd love to play Halo if possible. Or would i have to step up to the Steam Deck?

[@jonathonearl482]

@@cirealreviews1776 I'm pretty sure the 505 could handle XBox!

[@edwardkellylopez6851]

Solid review my friend, thank you

[@CryptoMan36]

I have both . Metal is nice but 505 is superior every way no brainer

[@iommi13]

Anyone else scratching their head about the lack of video out on rg505? Would be my number 1 pick without question if that's was fixed. Will have to go with RP3+

[@Arcade1983]

Yeah it’s definitely an odd omission. You can use a wireless casting app to a compatible tv however.

[@chrisdyers8017]

RP3+ is better than the RG505. Higher resolution, stacked shoulder buttons and much better build quality.

[@iommi13]

@@chrisdyers8017 Will agree with stacked shoulder buttons, but not sure how much of a win the higher resolution is considered the games most suitably played on either device. Can't say Ive ever had Anbernic quality issues either.

I’m going with the m for my first one it’s only saving me $15 dollars but I’ll get another device in a year or two that can do psp and up better

[@Bk12100]

I said the same thing getting the rg280m acouple months ago, I ordered the 505 yesterday. 1 for on the go, 1 for replacing my nintendo switch that I just got tired of buying new games for. Besides, I loved my psp and n64 offered some of the best games to date.

[@lo4427]

I started to get the rg353m but I'm going with the rg505 because of the bigger library( ps2 and below) and bigger screen

[@Autotrope]

These are non-stacked shoulder buttons. Stacked shoulder buttons are the other sort.

[@sacjohnson1]

Does the 505 mainly can play nes games like the good old super Mario and contra ? That’s my main concern Thank you

[@Arcade1983]

Yes it can play those games without a problem once it’s been setup.

[@poopenshnapples7160]

You didn't test the 353 properly. PSP games are hit or miss with play-ability.

[@adyfandy280]

Hi captain, I'm wondering, can the rg353m play music and video? Like i using it as mp4 player.. and can it use social media also like Facebook?

[@Cyko..]

Yes.

[@adyfandy280]

@@Cyko.. thanks for your answer captain.. subscribed already 😉

[@Arcade1983]

Yes, it comes with a basic video player and audio player, but without the Play store you’ll need to side load or use a 3rd party store to download any steaming apps.

[@adyfandy280]

@@Arcade1983 ouh i got the wrong person earlier 😂 btw thanks cap!! ❤️💙

You keep saying the 505 runs GameCube and even runs ps2, you do know the GameCube is harder to emulate than the PS2 right? It's a more capable system than PS2 as far as graphical power
