I've only seen this handheld less one other time, the pink model on the sale at the beginning of the month ended up being $24 shipped. Either way, any price under $30 is a bargain. It's basically Anbernic's take on the R36s, but with improved materials across the board. The displays are pretty close in quality, but the triggers, face buttons and sticks are all greatly improved over the R36s. The plastics are also improved.
I'd recommend dArkOS for these. You can use the provided blue Kioxia card (they're actually good!) or another MicroSD. The provided OS is mostly fine, it's just bloated with tons of mediocre games.
This handheld is capable of emulating everything up to PSX comfortably. Where it starts really struggling are with the more demanding half of N64, PSP and Dreamcast. It'll struggle to run something like Goldeneye, but plays Mario 64 mostly fine. Mariokart can be played, but expect some occasional stuttering.
The 'Classic Up [aliexpress.us]' which appears to simply be a rebranded Anbernic RG35XX Pro (featuring the H700 chipset); and the 'Retro Land [aliexpress.us]' which seems to be an RG40XX H. Interesting times. Not sure if Anbernic will be able to dodge the speculation that BatleXP is their sub-brand (or at the very least, a partner company) any longer.
Community Reviews
The BatleXP G350 is a low cost retro emulation handheld that feels like a rebadged Anbernic, with notably better plastics, buttons, triggers, and sticks than the R36s. It handles PS1 and GBA comfortably, and even Mario 64 mostly fine, while N64, PSP, Dreamcast, and games like Goldeneye can struggle or stutter. The stock system is bloated with mediocre games, but custom firmware options like dArkOS, ArkOS, Pan4Elec, and Knulli are available. The included microSD cards have been mixed, so backing them up and keeping a spare card on hand is wise.
Common Questions (5)
The included blue microSD cards have been reported as either Kioxia-branded or unbranded blue-stripe cards depending on batch. The Kioxia cards have been reliable, while the unbranded cards have mixed failure reports, so backing up the card and keeping a spare microSD on hand is a smart move.
It handles PS1 and GBA comfortably, and Mario 64 mostly fine, but N64, PSP, and Dreamcast are where it starts to struggle; GoldenEye is especially rough and Mario Kart can stutter. For DS, a single-screen device is workable for some games, but titles that rely on the second screen are better suited to a dual-screen handheld.
Yes. dArkOS is recommended, and the device has also been shown running Pan4Elec, ArkOS, and Knulli. The safest approach is to back up the included microSD first so you can try different OS images without losing the stock setup.
Yes, it is described as a rebranded Anbernic device positioned to hit a lower price point and compete with the R36. The black model is also said to have improved materials, triggers, face buttons, sticks, and plastics compared with the R36s.
Yes, games can be deleted from the device, but making a backup first is recommended. That matters because the stock card may be reused for custom OS testing or may fail, depending on the batch.

Many thanks! Was going to buy one the other day, but purchase would just not got thru. Now I got an even better deal!
what is the best way to make sure it runs reliably if i want to repolace the included microsd card with some more reliable brand?

Best Practice would be backup the MicroSD as soon as you can, then you can play around with whatever OS you want on the card of your choice.
