RG35XXSP – Anbernic’s New Clamshell Champ Has Entered the Game 🎮💥

Hey fam 👋

You ever open something and just feel cool doing it? That’s the energy the new Anbernic RG35XXSP brings to the table. It’s the first-ever clamshell design from Anbernic, and it’s basically the retro handheld equivalent of a mic drop. Sleek, foldable, feature-packed — this is the one retro fans are going to be flexing all year.

Let’s get into why this little flip machine is about to live rent-free in your pocket (and your heart). 💚

🌀 The Flip is BACK (But Better)

Straight up — the RG35XXSP is giving GBA SP vibes, but with a serious 2025 upgrade. That clamshell form? Not just for aesthetics. It protects the screen, makes it ultra-portable, and thanks to the metal alloy hinge, it feels rock-solid whether you’re gaming at 45°, 90°, 135°, or full 180°.

And yes — there are built-in magnets that snap it closed with satisfying precision, plus a Hall switch that automatically wakes the device when you open it and puts it to sleep when you shut it. Just like a magic book of retro power. ✨

🎨 Color Me Obsessed

Whether you’re a sucker for stealthy gray or love a blast of see-through nostalgia, the RG35XXSP delivers:

🩶 Silver

🖤 Gray

💙 Blue Transparent

❤️ Red Transparent

💚 Green Transparent

🤍 White Transparent

🕶️ Black Transparent

Basically, it’s like the Power Rangers of retro handhelds. Pick your color-coded destiny.

📺 Screen Goals

The display? It’s serving vintage perfection with modern sharpness.
