Highly recommend the RH40XXH. Great ergonomics, big screen, ton of custom firmware options. If you want to catch up on SNES and PS1 stuff, it's perfect.

Had the Flip, it was fine. Didn't find myself using it much. I thought I'd carry it with me and use it instead of scrolling on my phone while out and about, but was too self conscious as a 40 year old man to be seen with a Gameboy. Vanity I guess.

Haven't tried the RG35XX

Common knowledge the microsd cards they give ya are crap. Generic ones that need to be replaced. Hard to tell if roms included as well. Best bet would be to download the rom packs from pirate Bay.

Community Reviews

The Miyoo Flip V2 is a compact clamshell handheld that stands out for portability and enough power for retro favorites, with some hope for Dreamcast and stronger performance than the R36S class. The updated hinge is the main draw, but hinge reliability still comes up as the biggest concern, especially on older units and some grey models. The included microSD cards are widely treated as junk and often replaced, and ROMs may not be included. Free 90 day returns soften the risk, making it a tempting small handheld if you can live with the hinge uncertainty.

  • RG35XXH owners who are willing to swap the included storage and firmware, because multiple commenters said the included microSD cards are junk and that replacing the card and flashing firmware (then loading ROM sets like Tiny Best Set) is what makes the device work well.

    boourns84DjScibbityanon343233222

  • people who want a cheap handheld specifically to test whether the Miyoo Flip V2 they receive has the updated hinge, because commenters said older Flip V2 hinges have lots of reports of breaking and free returns within 90 days makes it a lower-risk gamble.

    MasejoerSensibleSquirrel655

  • buyers who are okay with a "starter" handheld and want to play a wider range than PS1 by choosing a stronger chipset, because commenters said the RG40XX H/V adds Bluetooth/video-out and has a beefier chipset that can open up some PSP and Dreamcast (and better PS1/DS performance in their experience).

    RevOnetool2269

  • retro gamers who mainly want to catch up on SNES and PS1 on a device with good ergonomics and a big screen, because one commenter said the RG40XXH has great ergonomics, a big screen, and lots of custom firmware options and is "perfect" for SNES/PS1.

    Gabriel-h

  • people who are planning to use a handheld for pocketability first and don't mind smaller screens, because one commenter said the 35XX H is their favorite mainly for pocketability while the 40XX H/V are better if you want larger screens.

    SRFNYC

  • buyers who want the Miyoo Flip for hinge reliability without any risk of failure, because commenters warned the Flip's hinge is very unreliable even on the improved version and advised being wary of the hinge.

    tool2269blinksteen

  • people considering the RG35XXH if they expect plug-and-play reliability out of the box, because one commenter reported two RG35XXH units with identical severe issues (junk cards failing immediately and needing to remove/reinsert the battery to play) and said Anbernic provided zero help.

    freekshow

  • people who want to avoid ROM hunting and want the device to come with everything ready to play, because commenters said after flashing firmware the device didn't include ROMs and they had to find replacement ROMs elsewhere.

    freekshow

  • buyers who want a handheld that charges with any common cable, because one commenter said their Flip V2 only charges with a USB-A to USB-C cable.

    DataJager

  • people who specifically want a 5-inch+ screen experience from these cheaper Anbernic options, because one commenter suggested waiting for a 5" screen and said the listed Anbernics are too small.

I'm tempted to get the Flip V2 and see if the one that arrives has the modified hinge. Free returns within 90 days, so may be worth trying.

At least older manufacturing dates of the Flip V2 have a lot of reports of the hinges breaking, and supposedly a V3 is in the works with another hinge update.

These are all great starter devices! The flip might get you some dreamcast play but be wary of the hinge.

Any suggestions on a list of games to add or how big of an sd card to grab for it?

The RG CubeXX is another great device. 1:1 720x720 display.

STAY AWAY from the RG35XXH !! Had two of them and they both had the SAME identical issues and Anbernic had been ZERO help in getting them replaced or responding at all to my emails!! The cards are junk and fail immediately, and most of the time when you want to play the POS you have to remove the battery and plug it back in every time. Tried getting Anbernic to replace them as I have spent more time trying to get them working than what I have been playing then, but they are radio silent on my emails! Dont know about the other models, but I dont trust Anbernic or their customer service anymore to try them. I have two paperweights right now that each of them has less than a half hour play time on them!

I know market dynamics change everything, but the 35xx has been as low as $25.xx less than half a year ago. May be worth holding out if your need isn't immediate.

I would suggest waiting for a 5" screen. Both of these Ambernics are too small, imo.

I am a fan of the Anbernic RG40XX V as I got this clamshell style protector that protects the screen. It has the benefits of the GBA SP style case, but a much more comfortable and yet still portable shape.

It sounds like the hinge is very unreliable on the Flip, even with this one that is supposed to be improved over v1, but this is a tempting price to gamble with. I don't like the form factor of the RG35XXSP (much bigger than the original SP) and most people say the buttons suck.
