Anbernic RG353VS grey, customer return: as new, case and 128 GB card included

A single unit, grey, returned by a customer who exercised their right of withdrawal in August. It is as new and complete: it comes with its case, its 16 GB system card and a 128 GB microSD card, shipped from France. For comparison: as of 10/09/2026, the same configuration new (grey, 16 GB + 128 GB) is listed at €141.99 in our catalogue, without a case. Once this unit is gone, it is gone.

The actual condition of this unit

• As new: no sign of use.
• Complete: box, USB-C cable, 16 GB system card, 128 GB microSD card and the console's case.
• Withdrawal return: the customer sent it back within the 14-day legal period, with no fault. Everything works.

It has been unboxed: it is therefore sold as a customer return, not as a new product. The sale is made by a professional seller: the 2-year legal guarantee of conformity applies, and you in turn have 14 days to change your mind. The photos show the grey model; the unit sold is the one described above.

RG353VS or RG353V: the difference to know about

The RG353VS is the Linux-only version of the RG353V. Same format, same screen, same RK3566 chip — but 1 GB of RAM instead of 2, no internal memory and no Android: the system runs from the 16 GB card. If you want the Play Store or Android cloud gaming, this is not the right machine.

What it does

• Smooth emulation up to the Nintendo 64: NES, Master System, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, GBA, PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 run at full speed.
• A laminated 4:3 screen: 3.5″ IPS at 640 × 480, OCA bonding with no air gap — the native format of the PS1 and of the 8- and 16-bit consoles.
• Linux open to alternative firmware: the original firmware is enough to get started, ArkOS and ROCKNIX are there if you want to go further.
• 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2: file transfer without removing the card, box art, wireless controller.
• Ready to travel: the case is included, and the 128 GB card leaves room for a large 8-, 16- and 32-bit library.

What it doesn't do

• No Android. The RG353VS is a Linux machine: no Play Store, no Android cloud gaming apps.
• Dreamcast, PSP, Saturn and Nintendo DS: partial. Dreamcast with automatic frame skipping, PSP on the lighter titles (God of War does not run), Saturn in 2D only.
• Non-touch screen. On Nintendo DS, the bottom screen is driven with the stick, never with a finger or a stylus.
• GameCube, PlayStation 2, Wii, 3DS, Wii U and Switch: out of reach. The RK3566 does not have the power needed, whatever the firmware.
• 1 GB of RAM, no internal memory. This is the entry-level version of the RG353 family.
• It is not new and sealed. This is a customer return: as new, but unboxed.
• No game is included: the 128 GB card is supplied blank. You copy your own backups onto it.
