ANBERNIC Officially Reveals New RG40XX H After Recent Leaks
retrododo.com
ANBERNIC officially reveales their new handheld called the RG40XX H, with neat new features and a H700 CPU.

  • Leaked a few days ago, the new handheld from ANBERNIC has been officially confirmed with its name: RG40XX H.

  • It features a4" IPS full-laminated display, 5G Wifi module, Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI out and Moonlight streaming capability. The exact CPU model is rumored to be Allwinner H700.

  • It has a rounded look compared to ANBERNIC’s previous designs like the 353 series.

  • Available in three colours: black, grey, and blue, with LED joysticks that can select from over 16 million color options. This might not be practical, considering only about 25 different color settings would have been sufficient.

  • Expected to support emulation for games from PSP, Dreamcast, and N64 consoles, potentially at a price under $99. The official pricing has yet to be announced.

What do you think of ANBERNIC’s decision to continue with their naming pattern or would you prefer them to adopt something more distinctive?

    A d-pad with tactile buttons, a non-android (or iOS) system that takes micro sd cards are pretty good reasons. And the functionality is very good. Not sure why you assume it isn’t.

      A d-pad with tactile buttons

      What console controller doesn’t have that? Plus they tend to fit your hands. This thing looks like a portable hand cramp.

      a non-android (or iOS) system that takes micro sd cards are pretty good reasons.

      In what way does andriod or iOS limit your ability to run emulators? Micro SD cards are nice, but total over kill for some N64/Dreamcast roms.

      Maybe for PSP games but only if you wanted all of them all the time, and that totals over 1.4 TB of storage, an SD card that can store all that is anywhere from double to 5 times the price of this handheld… What a great feature!

      These retro handhelds are a self-contained package that can easily slip into a pocket.

      Do you slip it into your pocket next to your phone?

      And the functionality is very good. Not sure why you assume it isn’t.

      Its functionality is fine, but your phone can do everything this thing can do and more for free since you already own it. The best argument people can make is about the controls which is such an easy problem to solve and often can be done with devices you already have; This $100 thing is an overly niche gimmick.

        I am able to install lean, custom linux based OS onto the device which I much prefer to either android or iOS - it fully boots in 5 seconds, there is no bloat to speak of. I had a 256GB card which I have now put to use in this device - it holds PSX, N64, Dreamcast, SNES, GBA, GB and MAME games. More than enough to keep me entertained on any road trip. And it didn’t cost me $100, I paid $50, an almost insignificant outlay.

          Ok so you ignored half of what I said in my previous comment, just going to assume you are admitting you have no real argument when it comes to these points. But moving on…

          it fully boots in 5 seconds, there is no bloat to speak of.

          So does an app.

          it holds PSX, N64, Dreamcast, SNES, GBA, GB and MAME games.

          Not PS2/Xbox/GameCube era consoles/games… Why not?

          And it didn’t cost me $100, I paid $50, an almost insignificant outlay.

          Not including the cost of the sd card right. Meanwhile a phone you already own has $0 outlay and does more.

            You are not the judge as to what is or what is not a “real argument”.

            An app may boot up in 5 seconds but android devices and iOS do not. I go from power off to gaming in 5 seconds.

            But look who is talking about ignoring previously made points… I repeat, I like to keep my phone off when at my leisure and I prefer not the drain the battery for frivolous activities, especially when traveling.

            It plays the systems that I want, hence why I purchased it. You are under no obligation to do so. I’m still not sure why this device and others like it have you so agitated.
