In short

RG353VS is the 3.5-inch 640×480 no-touch Linux-only SKU on the shared 353 table: RK3566, 1GB LPDDR4, 16GB TF, 3200mAh / 6 hours, 180g. Buy it for that official column. Skip it if you want Android 11 RG353V.

Who it is for

  • Players who want the Linux-only column on ANBERNIC’s official RG353V/RG353VS table.
  • Shoppers comparing 1GB / 16GB TF / no-touch against RG353V’s 2GB / 32GB eMMC / multi-touch column.
  • People who will accept unpublished GPU, nits, TDP, Hz, and charging watts.

Who should skip it

  • Anyone who wants Android, Windows, or SteamOS. The VS column prints LINUX only.
  • Buyers of RG353V (`/handhelds/anbernic-rg353v/`) — Android 11 + Linux, 2GB, multi-touch.
  • People who need a published GPU or nits number.

Key differentiators

  • Same 3.5-inch IPS OCA 640×480 as RG353V, but Touch Screen = No.
  • RK3566; LPDDR4 1GB; 16GB TF (no eMMC row on the VS column).
  • LINUX only — 64-bit compatible with 32-bit applications.
  • 3200mAh / 6 hours (OEM); 180g; Black transparent / Grey.

Caveats

  • Shared cart $97.99 is not a VS-only dated MSRP.
  • GPU, nits, TDP, Hz, and charging watts stay Not published.
  • Do not paste the V column’s 2GB / 32GB eMMC / Android 11 here.
  • GadgetShowdown has not lab-tested RG353VS.
