RG351M vs RG351MP

Which Product is Better?

Having explained all the specifications and features of the two hand held this what I have to say about the two Products. I have been using the rg135m for over a year and I must confess that I have literally fallen in love it. But as a Handheld lover who always want to get more out of Games, this is my advice to you. Having purchased and used the latest RG351MP handheld I realized that its more comfortable to use as regards to the rubber attached to to the back, those who would go a day on their devices should consider this product. Another striking thing about I noticed about it is that the colors are very flashy and allows show anytime I’m in public. The sound is fine and the speakers are moderate too. The resolution is also fine. The main reason why I prefer my old Anbernic is because I think I’m fond of it already, I feel more more with the old product although that might change with time. I also love the weight and the balance I get when using it. Inclusion, There is no major difference between the two products; therefore if you have low budget go for the one you can afford.
