I Was Wrong About the R35S (PowKiddy RGB20S Clone Comparison)

👉Stubbs compares the R35S to the PowKiddy RGB20S in a showdown to find out which (if either) is worth your money. Both of these are running ArkOS, on the battle hardened RK3326 chipset, playing up to N64, DS, some PSP, and some Dreamcast. Thanks to ‪@litnxt_official‬ for sending over the RGB20S for review!

[@K3nVV]

$20 difference is a lot for that price point. R35S wins in my book...

[@saqqawattuhb7505]

Love this guy. Keep going dude.

[@retrohandhelds]

Thanks ya!!

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Loved this video Stubbs!

[@retrohandhelds]

[@Kavyy]

I just ordered the R36s yesterday,Perfect timing 😎

[@MrSlavic-kl7kw]

rgb20sx is new king

[@Hyperfixd]

Great comparison always love more Stubss also SPAM FTW!

[@GurlDreamer50]

I haven't been watching you guys for long but i love tour channel. Every time you say Pow Kiddy I say Pooooowwwww Kiiiidddy!!! You guys are rubbing off on me. Great gaming content!!!!

[@retrohandhelds]

That's awesome I'm glad you're enjoying our attempt at a serious retro gaming channel 😂

[@guardianbeardizer6361]

Literally just picked up earlier today an RGB20S at a thrift store for $7 (they couldn't get it to boot cause it didn't have any sd cards lol), installed ArkOS using Russ's guide. Works perfectly, so loaded it up with roms & gave it to my neice to play in between softball game trips. She started immediately playing Captain Skyhawk...definitely related to me 😆

[@Bendilin]

Th R35S has already been discontinued, and the R36S seems to fix every issue the R35S had including the cloned PCB. I got my R35S in the mail a day after the R36S was released. D:

[@retrohandhelds]

I heard this! It's funny because I just discovered the R35S is even a few dollars more than the R36S. I suggest everyone do the 36S at this point, reviewing it shortly though.

[@FatalityPWN]

I really wanna get the r35s but that miyoo flip image tease got me wanting that more.

[@retrohandhelds]

I don't blame you there!

[@Pridetoons]

I'm going to buy that Handheld day one! 😁

[@mitchthepreacher1512]

It'll be 3x the price of this tho

[@iritian]

Have you seen the listing for the E6 recently? The description says they're going to release the E6PLUS in November with a touch screen, WIFI, Android and an RK3566 chip.

[@retrohandhelds]

Ah yes, I have one on the way! I'll discuss the new Plus model on the podcast this Friday 🤩

[@iritian]

@@retrohandhelds Can't wait! What time does it start? I have an R36S on the way, just saw how it looks in purple and it's amazing

[@Stealth315]

If u have a nintendo switch case and u have leftover thumb grips they will fit on the r35s

[@peace_music_official]

how can i save inside of the games i can not figure it out on R35S

[@victorsarkar4592]

I have a r35s I accidentally removed all the games while browsing the options list. Now just the options and favourites are showing on main menu. No other console names are showing. How to restore them back. Can someone please help in a bit detailed way

[@HavendaleBlvd80]

Can these be plugged into a tv for a bigger screen play?

[@mritunjayupadhyay1236]

Which one is better r35s Or r36s

[@Bloxy-89]

Which is better m17 or the R35s

[@quadzilla3326]

Stubbs Nubbs Super Powered Pancreas Pleasure Pads®™

[@retrohandhelds]

Oh crap they fit on BOTH of these handhelds. How did I miss that??? 😂

[@JosephTheRocker]

Giving it to the RGB20s, Givin it to the RGB20s, gibbn it toda RBG20z, gibbit-toda B20z, gibbtotwentys

[@retrohandhelds]

🤣 while editing, the amount of times I had to hear myself say rgb20s was ridiculous. I'm like, why didn't I just call it the 20S??

[@JosephTheRocker]

@@retrohandhelds clearly a man dedicated to his craft and proper semantics. Now I wonder if you can extract the rubber membranes from the 35s and Frankenstein them to the #RGB20s to make the ULTIMATE budget Powkiddy esque device

[@STARGAMING-ld2zz]

I got it fo 50 bucks in official pow kiddy website

[@Pridetoons]

I can't wait for your Magic UX10 Vertical Handheld First Look. Here's a Comment for the Algorithm!!! 😁

[@retrohandhelds]

Thank you friend! Should be here anytime now.

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

STUBBS!!!!!!!

[@BibinDavid21]

Can you suggest the best handhelds under 80 dollars that can play psp games......

[@retrohandhelds]

A great video idea! Either of these should work ok for PSP, the new TrimUI Smart Pro is an interesting option, but you won't get truly good psp performance until the $90 - $100 range, in which case I recommend the Retroid Pocket 2S. If vertical is a priority, then RG405V.

[@BibinDavid21]

@retrohandhelds Thanks bro

[@JosephTheRocker]

Also we are one step closer to adopting the "Unhinged" format as official and I'm here for it

[@retrohandhelds]

Hahaha, it IS official

[@owomushi_vr]

I just got a 20s for $25

[@BibinDavid21]

Pls review the R36s

[@retrohandhelds]

I will be as soon as it gets here! 😁

[@michaelbenny659]

Studio looks lighter, must be filming during daytime. I like to better

[@retrohandhelds]

Oh yeah, just had the lights turned up, I think this was at night 😄

[@muhsinmaki8051]

Is the R36s better than RGB20s?

[@mdytb1553]

No RGB20s is better >> R36s

[@Pridetoons]

I love you Stubbs, but you and Russ posted videos at the same time! 😫

[@retrohandhelds]

Oh nooooo 😅

[@fr_dae5548]

nd r36s ?

[@retrohandhelds]

R36S > R35S

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

LICK NEXT? Is that your OF account?

[@retrohandhelds]

Yes lol

[@neliotuga]

Those controller layout look bad. Abxy on bottom is dumb.

[@av_oid]

Agree! Just uncomfortable if playing d-pad and ABXY games.

[@jedewitz]

Oh they definitely got sued.

[@retrohandhelds]

[@japexican007]

Who gets these for 30$, send the link help out a retro game connoisseur

[@retrohandhelds]

I can't find any currently, but the R35S I linked in the description is the best option currently available, I would go for the R36S which is new and a few $ cheaper.

[@japexican007]

@@retrohandhelds yea I just orders the 36S given it’s the upgrade to the 35, I was able to get it for 46$ and free shipping so that’s a plus

[@soaremicheledavid6020]

RGB20S looks stupid, speccialy those stickers, looks and feels cheap, like something made for 8 year olds, looks like something from the next corner shop sold at 15$. When the R35S, looks much better and you dont feel ashame to bring up that device when on a trip.

[@mitchthepreacher1512]

No one should be buying the RGB20S at this point.

[@retrohandhelds]

Depends on what you're looking for, but from a performance vs price aspect, there may be better options like the ones I showed at the end.

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

PSA: Don't buy powkiddy handhelds. Also just get a odin2. Joking.

[@retrohandhelds]

Wildly different price points 🤣
