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?

    Some of us like to put our phones away or turn them off entirely during our leisure.

    So you need to spend $99 on a hand hold because you dont like your phone? If it’s the notifications you hate put your device on aeroplane mode instead; just saved you some money.

    Also, I don’t want touch screen controls when playing ps1 games.

    What is wrong with connecting a PS4/5 controller?

      No. I bought the predecessor for $50. Money well spent. I keep my phone off, I save battery life for when I do need to use my phone and I have 256GB of dedicated (and removal/replaceable/upgradable) storage to old school gaming. I am a very casual gamer, I do not want to carry a PS4/5 controller on my travels - my primary purpose for purchasing such a device.

        The predecessor weighs more than a PS4 controller, costs more than a controller, doesn’t stay charged as long as either a phone or a controller, has a low resolution screen, less storage and it cannot run as many games/emulators as a modern phone.

        But yes its money well spent and you dont have to carry about a controller which weighs around half of your hand hold… What a deal!

        I’ll keep playing games for free with better graphics and a bigger library.

            I asked why someone should buy one of these things instead of using what you already have, and every reason given was poorly thought out and was unable to explain or justify the purchase.

            Seems like the target audience are idiots with spare cash, who are impressed by glowing analogue sticks and poor functionality.
