Choosing between the ANBERNIC RG35XX H and the X9 Retro Handheld Game Console comes down to one balance: how much hardware detail you want from a compact console, and how much screen you want for the money. Both are new handhelds in the console handheld hardware space, and they take different paths.
Quick verdict
If you want the version with more listed specs in a compact body, pick the ANBERNIC RG35XX H. If you want the larger-display version, pick the X9 Retro Handheld Game Console.

Product notes
ANBERNIC RG35XX H
At USD 67.99, the ANBERNIC RG35XX H is the higher of the two listed prices, but it also comes with 64G of storage and a 3300mAh battery. The title mentions 5K+ games, and the listed specs add Bluetooth 4.2, 5V/1.5A charging with C2C support, and an H700 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 at 1.5GHz. The version shown is White TR 64G. If you want a compact 3.5-inch IPS console with those hardware details, the higher price buys a noticeably fuller specification list. The limitation is the smaller screen: at 3.5 inches it is below the X9's 5.5-inch panel, and the price is the top of this pairing. That means you are trading a little screen real estate for the extra hardware details.
X9 Retro Handheld Game Console
The X9 Retro Handheld Game Console is listed at USD 34.96, making it the lower-priced option of the pair. It carries a larger 5.5-inch IPS screen, and the description mentions an eye-care display and emulator support. The unit is listed as new and comes in Black & White. Since its listed connectivity is set to no, it is not the choice for anyone who wants Bluetooth. If a larger display and the lower price matter most, this console delivers that combination. The tradeoff is that its listed attributes center on the screen and basic setup, with connectivity set to no.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the ANBERNIC RG35XX H when you want the compact spec-first option.
- Choose the X9 Retro Handheld Game Console when you want the screen-first option with the lower listed price.
