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?
Two reasons.
One is the form factor.
While certainly my ROG phone plus gamesir is enough to even emulate this gen’s handheld games. It cannot beat playing a gba game on an Anbernic rg35xxsp.
Second is that some owns a low tier or a very old phone and they don’t want to throw it away because it still works perfectly fine.
So instead of spending 300 bucks for a decent mid tier phone replacement, plus accessories, spending 99 bucks is far more cost effecent.
Then there is that storage issue. Some newer phones today no longer have an sd card slot for expandable storage.
Plus some if not all of these handhelds are moddable as fuck too.
Could you give a reason?
My old iPhone 4 from 2010 could run n64 emulators just fine, low tier phones from the last 10 years can do pretty much everything this thing can do and a used one is definitely cheaper… Additionally if this strawman you have invented cannot afford a phone from the last 10 years they definitely cannot afford this thing.
An SD card that can store all the PSP/N64/Dreamcast games would have to have more than 1tb of storage and cost anywhere from 180 to 700 bucks online… What world are you living in that this is a viable solution to the poor man who cannot afford a second hand phone.
What you are trying to argue here is that a niche luxury device is a solution to someone with limited income, and you are doing it with a straight face whilst arguing with someone that presents a cheaper/free option. Do you see an issue with that?
These things keep getting cheaper too. I just received an RG35XX H from Aliexpress with both 64GB and 128GB Micro SD cards for a whopping $47 shipped.
It still isn’t as cheap as using what you already own. Especially when what you are purchasing is essentially a downgrade.
