Both the RG-34XXSP and the RG-35XX Plus run on the same Allwinner H700 chip, share a Linux foundation, and top out around Dreamcast emulation, so the $3 price difference — $67 versus $64 — comes down almost entirely to form factor. The RG-34XXSP, released in May 2025, folds into a clamshell that protects its screen in a pocket, while the November 2023 RG-35XX Plus uses a traditional vertical layout. Choose the clamshell for portability; choose the vertical if you prefer a slimmer profile without a hinge.
