• 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?

    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.
