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?

    There are a lot of options for turning a phone into a gaming device, you can use the controller laying around your home, which is free. Or you can purchase a device that clips to your phone like a switch controller for the cost of one of these handhelds. There is no problem carrying a controller and clip in your bag, none. Just because you are worried you might look like a loser is your problem, it’s like you are trying to turn your personal fears into a selling point.

    Strawman. Carrying an external controller and clip might be feasible for some, but it adds extra steps and hassle compared to simply using a dedicated retro handheld that is always ready to use. The ease of quickly starting a game on a dedicated device cannot be matched by the multi-step setup required for phone gaming with external controllers.

    Just because the iPhone from 14 years ago has better specs!? Are you seriously arguing that people should purchase one of these handhelds because it can compete with an iPhone 4. I think you are looking at the wrong aspect of my argument, you were selling this device as a cheap alternative to an expensive modern phone. But I am pointing out that plenty of older phones sell used for cheaper and can compete with (and in many cases out perform) handheld consoles… You get that right?

    Well so far you are failing with your point because I just did the math for you. Additionally, you are assuming everyone has a controller at home, which is a major flaw in your conclusion.

    Even if older phones have better specs on paper, they still require additional accessories, setup, and often don’t provide the same seamless, optimized experience that retro handhelds do.

    These devices are designed specifically for gaming, offering convenience, ease of use, and a superior, uninterrupted experience that older phones can’t match without extra hassle.

    Also doubt you tested a N64 emulator on an iPhone 4 decades ago since the device isn’t that old. I think you just pulled that out of your ass to try and make a point lol.

    Well so far you have yet to prove that an iPhone 4 can play N64 with no frameskips. Aside from your iPhone 4 is x times more powerful trust me bro statement 🤡🤣

    N64 On iPhone 4, iPad & Ipod Touch - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAjciWQ3pOQ

    What did a video from a decade ago just appeared on youtube showing a laggy gameplay? I’d be damned!

    Again you missed my point and assumed I am arguing someone should use an iPhone 4 over one of these things. When an iPhone 4 can compete with your handheld a cheap/used modern phone can easily exceed it. Way to cherry pick a sentence from a paragraph and ignore context.

    Look, you’re missing the point entirely and deflecting with straw man arguments. My argument isn’t about specifically using an iPhone 4, but rather about the overall practicality and user experience.

    Retro handhelds are designed for gaming with physical controls, optimized performance, and better battery life, making them far superior for gaming compared to juggling a phone, controller, and potential interruptions.

    Your claim that a cheap used phone is automatically better ignores these crucial advantages and the hassle of setting up and configuring emulators. So let’s stop cherry-picking details and face the facts: dedicated devices offer a streamlined, superior gaming experience.

    It can be done by a phone for free… A point you fail to acknowledge over and over again. Everyone has a phone and they can all run emulators, so why would someone spend money on a device that can’t even compete with their phones? An answer you have failed to provide.

    Not everyone wants to juggle a phone and extra peripherals for a subpar experience. The reason people spend money on these devices is for convenience, ease of use, and a superior, uninterrupted gaming experience that their phones can’t match. It’s about quality, not just capability.

    Something you fail to recognize from my answers and other people here’s answers.

      So instead of spending 300 bucks for a decent mid tier phone replacement, plus accessories, spending 99 bucks is far more cost effecent.

      This was your original argument and now you are claiming it’s turned to this.

      When a device as old as an iphone 4 can draw comparisons to your handhold, a newer used phone can be bought on the cheap that can easily exceed your handhelds performance and battery life (the device in the article can die in 2 hours from a full charge! Wtf). You are just attempting to pivot away from that point by overly focusing on the Iphone 4s performance which is hilarious, no one is paying $300 bucks to get a phone that can compete with your handheld; not even $99; And if they did pay $300 they are getting a phone that will smoke your shitty little handhelds performance. Additionally I finished paper mario on my old iPhone 4 and it was fine.

      When your imaginary ‘poor man’ has to choose between a gaming device or a phone that can do everything the gaming device can do and is also a phone. They will choose the phone every time. You have made an absolutely retarded argument trying to claim this device is the smart financial choice, its a fun luxury and that’s being kind to it.

      It is feasible, you’re just exacerbating the issue in order to make a point. Either way you are carrying around a device that allows for gaming. But by choosing your handheld you are carrying a device that struggles to compete with the phone sitting in your pocket. You have less games, they will run worse and your screen is small and low res… But you feel awkward carrying a controller aww, better sacrifice performance to not feel like a loser 😭.

      Enjoy having a limited catalogue and paying for it.

      Every emulator I have ever downloaded comes pre configured and if you don’t know how or don’t want to adjust settings you don’t have too, this is such a nothing point. Besides you are still downloading roms and having to transfer them to your device, when my phone ‘streamlines’ that experience by downloading the roms directly; no additional hardware required to access games.

      Enjoy the hassle of not being able to update your game catalogue on the fly without resorting to using a computer or even your phone…

      Not everyone wants to juggle a phone and extra peripherals for a subpar experience. The reason people spend money on these devices is for convenience, ease of use, and a superior, uninterrupted gaming experience that their phones can’t match. It’s about quality, not just capability.

      Because juggling a phone and a gaming device is so different to a controller that connects to your phone in some way. Additionally, I’d argue that a small screen and tiny controls that cramp my hands are far from a superior gaming experience.

      Uninterrupted experience haha! You know your phone has aeroplane mode right? Once again you paid money for a phone you don’t use… Bet you carry a camera around with you at all times for the same reason right? that uninterrupted photography experience can’t be matched, and it has a greater ease of use and capability! Do you also carry a music player/iPod at all times for the same reason?

      Feel free to reply, I am not going to read what you have to say. You pivot from your own arguments, create problems that don’t exist, attempt to use your own insecurities as a selling point (people will look at me if i have a clip on-controller 😭) and you constantly ignore the fact that the average person already has a phone that can do everything this device can do and for free whilst claiming it’s the cheaper option.

      I am going to go play god of war or FF12 at with upscaling, bigger screen, a solid frame rate and play with the controller it was actually designed to be played with.

      (Btw you are totally going to reply, you can’t help yourself… dance puppet dance! 👏).
