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
353series. -
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?
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.
So the RGB leds come with 256 levels of brightness for each color. Don’t worry, article-writer, the company wasted zero extra effort on this “feature.”
I consider getting one of these things every once in a while, but then I remember that I’ve pulled my hacked PSP out of the drawer like three times in the last ten years, and I shrug and move on. It’s generally more fun for me to plug a USB controller into my computer for retrogaming.
Their naming conventions are meh & a little confusing. Something distinct/cute woulda been nice!
Is it Linux or Android based?
Anbernic uses a Linux based os I believe.
They’ve used both in the past. It kind of depends on the chipset.
This one is probably Linux given that it uses the same CPU as their other Linux handhelds.
Am I missing something, I don’t see why are these hand helds becoming so popular?
I’m running a PS2 emulator on my phone and playing God of War 2 with upscaling and anti-aliasing; why would you spend money on something a phone can do for free?
Phone controls are trash though, touch screen is never good.
Yeah. So, I Bluetooth a console controller which works perfectly fine and is cheaper. But you can also buy attachments for your phone that turns into a controller if you really want.
External Bluetooth controllers are always a pain and those clip-on ones are always awful. Plus it’s splitting the battery life between two devices, nothing bugs me more than using my phone for everything only to be shocked that the battery dies twice a day.

In what way? I use them and it works just fine. Plus, I already had one so it cost me nothing to use it with my phone.

Again, how? The ones I have seen used work perfectly fine, plus there is a large number of devices to choose from; I am sure they aren’t all awful.

Most people carry a charger or battery pack with them anyways so that is not a problem. Besides aren’t you already powering two devices when you carry this thing around with you… I’m gonna guess you have Bluetooth headphones too, so that’s 3 devices now.
