Your best FIRST retro handheld RG35XXSP clamshell vs RG280V. Thicker yet pocketable emulation beast

Just a quick comparison of the latest ANBERNIC RG35XXSP clamshell with my 2023 favorite RG280V (   • Even in 2023 RG280V (ADAM) is still t...  ).
In my opinion, this new clamshell is a perfect balance between being pocketable and comfortable. If I wouldn't have bought RG280V already - I would definitlley get that "anbernic gameboy" clamshell for myself:
Bigger 3.5" screen;
Only slightly thicker and a tad wider than RG280V;
Way more comfortable to hold;
Better performance (runs Dreamcast, N64, some of the PSP games);
Wifi, support for bluetooth and USB controllers;
HDMI out.
Would I recommend it, especially as a first ever retro handheld? Absolutely, it's a banger.
