I love Russ's detailed breakdowns of these devices, but this is so incredibly useful in figuring out which one to buy. It's hard to do in isolation. Thank you for making this!
Russ is truly the goat. Incredible videos. But I understand what you’re saying. That’s why I made this quick side by side comparison. Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching. Hope to see you around!
The rgb 30 is the only one I haven't bought yet but that green version is calling my name!
I have to admit; I really like both the green and yellow versions and wish one of those had been available when I bought my white one.
Wow! Somone knew exactly what i was confused with thnak u!
You’re welcome. 🙂 What were you confused about?
Solid coverage on these devices with similar performances but different external hardware and OS optimizations! It definitely gives a lot of perspective with compatible systems. For me personally, I always look for performance to price ratios mixed specifically with pocketability as well as the ability to play on a TV or external monitor because the versatility is always important to me. With that, I went with the RG35XXH because it was on sale on Aliexpress and with tax and shipping I spent $46. I'm patiently waiting for it to arrive so I can break it in.
That recent sale was insane! The RG35XX H is my current top budget pick for 2024. I hope you like it. I think it's great. Thanks for watching!
I presently possess the Powkiddy RGB 30, and I've enhanced the joysticks by installing the Gulikit Hall sensor ones, resulting in a significant improvement. Additionally, I've upgraded the SD card to 256 GB to accommodate a larger collection of ROMs. Personally, I lean towards ArkOS, and I must say it's an impressive little device. I'm extremely satisfied with its performance. Having tested the majority of Dreamcast games, I found that most of them run smoothly. The standout feature, for me, is the exceptional screen quality. This device continues to exceed my expectations.
Dude, your Powkiddy RGB30 setup sounds awesome! Enjoy your gaming adventures!
Absolute life saver! I didn't know you could just replace the joysticks and that was my one big reservation with the RGB30.
Ordered the anbernic for the prive specs an portability the best choice possible
I gave it a glowing review!
You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/4KPPfcUguF0/w-d-xo.html
Good pick!
Love my Rgb30! I got the yellow one
I wish I had the yellow one. They look sick! 👍👍
Went with the green one!
@@codyc3774 NICE!!
i want to buy the bluemidnight!
@@codyc3774 That's the one I'm eyeing too! Looks so good! Does it look as good in hands as in the images? :D
Also what are you playing on it?
Great video, thanks a million! ✌🏼🤓🎮
You’re welcome, Fabio! Happy gaming!
Seems the RGB10 Max 3 might be a better over handheld than all these. if you're wanting to stay around or under $100. It can be had for $70 right now after discount. That's probably the way I'd go for a budget handheld, or save up $200 for a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro.
I haven’t been able to get my hands on one of those yet, but they look nice. It has the exact same specs as the RGB30, but that screen is a lot bigger!
Bro wave race works pretty good on rg35xx h, you need to use retroarch and change the core to rice
I am using retroarch. I could try Rice though.
Not only Rice is good. Gln64 runs most games very well and introduces much less (if no) glitches as Rice.
I'm curious are they able to run tekken tag on mame?
They came play MAME games, but I don’t have Tekken Tag unfortunately.
I honestly really wish anbernic would have just lowered the price of the 353 series and maybe released one in the classic candybar style but plastic. If i could get a 353p in the 35xxh shell for like 90 bucks it would easily be my top choice
The H actually seems slightly more powerful than the 353p. However, it doesn’t have the custom firmware options and optimizations that the 353p has. So I get what you’re saying.
@BoKnowsGaming is it really more powerful? Huh I never would have guessed. Still though, the android functionality is something most people don't care about but my favorite thing about the 353 devices is you can play the android ports of the gta games
Yes, I believe it benchmarks just a bit higher, and it’s cheaper and more power efficient. So it’s a good move for them, and the price is great for us. But you do lose Android, so that is a shame.
i have the trimui , its alright man, plays well. it wont run killer instinct. i was so teased cause the match is about to start and then boom you're back on the menu. but honestly i find myself missing my r36s. i want a powkiddy or anbernic for better trigger buttons. opposed to the trimui. they're pretty thin.
although the vertical shooting games is really cool. i like how they did that to flip the screen.
The R2 and L2 triggers are also really tight, at least on mine. It gets a lot of things right though. Anbernic does have great build quality. And the R36S was fantastic for the price. Thanks for watching!
Maybe u just prefer vertical devices. In that casse , get the rgb 30 or, r43 pro.
Super helpful video my man, Awesome to actually see all 3 devices side by side running the same games.
Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback. Have you personally tried any of these?
@@BoKnowsGaming no I haven't unfortunately. Would love to do that though.have been watching a lot of videos on them though. I love technology, gaming and retro gaming so I started a tech based TH-cam channel last year after being retrenched and I have been doing summaries or overviews of these devices based on the findings of some of the top hands on reviews. The idea I had is to provide a detailed concise breakdown of them for viewers. The channel is still in its Infancy though so I doubt any of the suppliers will send me units to review and I just can't afford them out of pocket at this stage so in the mean time I am trying to provide value to my viewers in that way.
That's definitely a much more affordable approach. I've been trying to get review units, but haven't been successful yet. Thankfully, I had a little seed money to get the channel started. Well, you're welcome to use my videos as a research tool. Best of luck to you, and I hope to see you around! 👍👍
@@BoKnowsGaming Thanks, that would be awesome and much appreciated. I leave links to my source material in my descriptions so hopefully that sends some traffic your way. i will definitely be around a i enjoy your channel. Especially the discussion on Faith and Gaming. Would love to get involved with that someday, give you an African Cristian Gamers perspective
No problem, bro. That’s totally cool.
You’re a Christian? That’s awesome! What part of Africa are you in?
I have no regrets buying the Trimui, it blows these others away, especially when you stretch all the games to that full screen,...even GB games look awesome! Plus, the look of it (especially in black) is phenomenal!
Also, I didn't buy a 5" screen to put in my pocket. That's what the previous Trimui model is for, lol.
NDS does suck. I do know how to split the screen (just click the left trigger to open the emulator menu) I just can't get the controls to work properly with the games I like,...but I can live without NDS, lol.
My only gripe would be that it doesn't play Game Cube. Maybe in a couple years the next one will. :D
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's awesome to hear that you're loving the Trimui and its full-screen capability. Keep enjoying those games!
so if i usually play ps1 and psp games, should i just get the trimui instead of the others?
@@yvettej5262 Out of those three? I would still get the Trimui, but to be frank, if I were to buy now, I'd spend the extra hundred bucks and get a device that is powerful enough for GameCube, like the Anbernic 556, or 405m.
@@lookingforwookiecopilot thank you so much! 🙏🏽
I'm new to this and have ordered the rgb30 and the 35H. I'm beginning to think I should have gone in at a higher price point with a console that does it all well.
I'm new to emulation so let's see how I feel when these arrive......mainly for gameboy, ds, snes so I think I'm making a careful start but perhaps got carrried away ordering two
If you’re looking for mainly those three, I think either is an excellent first choice. The RGB30 will be more enjoyable for DS. You’re going to love that screen. Go into the setting and set the saturation to 65, and wow 🤩!
I’m a Luddite and won’t do any updates/modifications. What’s the best for long-term out-of-the-box performance?
Out of these three? Oh boy, idk. They've all received so many updates that have fixed bugs and improved things. I would probably pick the Powkiddy RGB30. I think it's the most well rounded of the three.
Remember something as well, the RG35XX H can run jelos but not be as fast as the RGB30 I think.
The H can’t run JELOS. The RGB30 does, even though it’s no longer receiving updates.
@@BoKnowsGaming oh..
Thanks, the i rank rgb30 1. trimsmart 2. and aneberic 35xxx H Last.
You're welcome. I think that's a fair ranking.
Can you do a dreamcast test on all three
Honestly, Dreamcast runs really well on all three. The differences seem marginal to me, so that’s why I didn’t showcase them in this video.
Yup, can second that for the trimui
@@BoKnowsGaming
I got trimui smart pro and rg353v at same price... Now its a really problem too choose :)
That is tough. I personally liked the RG353v more control wise, but that big TrimUI screen is hard to pass up. That’s a tough call.
What handheld is best around 100$ for psp? I just want to buy one to play psp only. I like rgb30 but the square screen is not for psp stuff.
You could consider the Powkiddy RGB10 Max 3. I have a video about it here: th-cam.com/video/rda4KSqHfLE/w-d-xo.html and a full review coming soon.
@@BoKnowsGaming ok
I am not really sure what I learned from this video.
It would have helped if you’d done more than just run three arbitrary games to compare performance. Also, just giving us the specs of each (in direct comparison with the other two) would have been nice.
I appreciate your comment and suggestion! It's always great to hear feedback from my viewers, and I'll definitely work on providing more detailed specs and comparisons in my future videos. Thank you for your support!
@@BoKnowsGaming Thanks for listening! Look forward to watching some more of your comparisons.
Man, I admit, I've been trying to find comparisons to help myself but I can't, just can't, for the life of me and anything precious i hold to myself, find out if I can play Pokemon crystal on a trimui smart pro with a speed up so I won't be moving at that super slow pace in game.
The pricing of that machine has been basically cheaper than the anbernic so I'm really trying guys. 😂
I have two NDS, one old 3ds and I own a working ps vita so... I swear, I'm just trying to get a retro device and it seems no one tests these devices for that.
Most of these handhelds have a "speed up" option. I played Pokemon Ruby and speed it up through the slow parts. With Crystal being a GameBoy Color game, these three handhelds would all be able to speed up the game.
My rgb30 just arrived dead... So now I just feel like returning it for a full refund. It seemed to drain battery pretty quick too
That stinks. If you got it from Amazon, they'll send you a replacement for free right now, and then you'll have 30 days to return the dead one you got. I've had to do that before. I seriously love my RGB30 and carry it with me every day, so I hope you don't give up on it. Sorry you got a bad battery though!
Uh, I think bro didn't showcase super mario world game or a pico 8 (legit, the RGB30 will give you a giant tall amazing experience.)
That’s right. It’s perfect for those. Love my RGB30. Carry it with me everyday.
RGB30 im lovin it
Me too. 👍
Pocket 2s
Another great system! But I don’t have one to test.
Hmm looking at how slow that is I think I would not play psp on any of those devices
I think that's totally fair. If you want really great PSP gameplay you should look at the Anbernic RG556 or Retroid Pocket 4.
So, what to buy?
That’s up to you. 🙂
I've had my eye on your channel for a bit now and it looks to me you just entered the retro handheld world... there is a lot more to a retro handheld than power alone, you have to take into consideration Aspect Ratio, Ergonomics and custom firmware options. How are you going to try to play PSP on a 1:1 aspect ratio screen? it just doesn't make any sense...the trim UI has no business being 16:9 when it can't even handle PSP, and GBA (which is 3:2 and decently displayed on this screen) looks too big on this screen IMO. The RG35XXH is very pocketable but just by a half and inch but does not even come close to the RGB30, why? the RGB30 runs GB. GBC, PICO8 and Neo Geo Pocket in native 1:1 aspect ratio, SNES and NES is 8:7 natively which looks WAY and BIGGER and better in a 1:1 aspect ratio display than the 4:3 on the RG35XX H, not to mention is WAY more comfortable and has a lot more custom firmware options. before anyone comes and say it, I've owned all 3 and only kept the RGB30 and sold the other 2.
Hey. I agree. There’s a lot more to it. I go over many of those things in my review videos. This one was meant to be a quick and simple side-by-side comparison so I could give a short summary on who I think each of these is best suited for. I actually use the RGB30 as my EDC too, btw. I love it. Thanks for watching and leaving your thoughts, friend! Happy gaming!
or you buy a R36s :D
The R36S won't beat any of these in performance, but it WILL save you a lot of money! Haha! 😂
You know these games on the switch right lmao
Wave Race 64 is, but the other two are not.
@@BoKnowsGamingSwitch also has horrendously bad Nintendo 64 emulation.
Basically nothing good is here, maybe have to spend more get rp4 pro for now
The RP4 Pro has a lot more juice for sure. But it just depends on what systems you want to emulate. Any of these three are fantastic at 8, 16, and 32 bit games. If that’s all you’re interested in you don’t need to spend more on an RP4.
@@BoKnowsGaming that is true, maybe good until ps1 and some Sega stuff
Avoid consoles with the horrible rockchip soc!!! Unfortunately thats what the powkiddy as!!! The others are nothing special but even the Rk3566 as faster cores in paper ( cortex a55) rockchip soc is the worst off the worst!!! The others ,anbernic as a allwiner h700 same cpu a53 as the trimui but with the mali g31 mp2 ,the trimui even with a older gpu ( power vr ge8300) but its a powerful gpu in the level off the g52 off the powkiddy ,but rickchip even with a mali g52 manages to get worst performance than a mali g31 !!
The trimui is the more powerful off the three ,not because the cores speed or architecture but because allwinner knows how to make a Soc ! Rockchip doesn't
