Anbernic RG405M - An In Depth Look - "The Premium, All-Metal T618" (Unboxing, Teardown, Gameplay)
Рет қаралды 59,736
Күн бұрын➡👉 Join me as we take a look at @ANBERNIC's second attempt at a UNISOC T618 powered retro handheld and the first available in an all-metal build with a 4:3 aspect ratio display. The RG405M is an Android based emulation handheld and we will explore all that it has to offer. There will be a lot to cover from an unboxing, a teardown of the RG405M, button swap, benchmarks, native Android Gaming, and emulation with Gameboy Advance, Playstation 1, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Gamecube, Playstation 2, and PSP. Has Anbernic's various iterations led them down to a path of refinement or does the RG405M find itself being smelted into something better? Let's find out together!

4:3 looks so much better on handhelds than wide screen. Even with the native android games.
@DownMemoryLaneParis 7 ай бұрын
Totally perfect format. It makes all game fit more or less, and all retro gaming perfect. 4:3 is the best. followed by 3:2 ( bit wider, better for modern games, but still good for retro ) then the 1:1...amazing for shoots and protable systems. 16:9 is really lame and only gives an edge for PSP, or Android games, or eventually WII in wide mode... I just wish it would be a Linux based system so we could enjoy TRUE frontends like Batocera.

As usual, the perfect handheld is a moving target... This one has a very confuse use case, IMO. Less value for money than the RP3/3+ for a T618, less power and spec customization than the KTR1. This could have a niche as a GC/PS2 device - it's the smallest T618 so far, which is nice, and top-stick + some thickness is maybe going to make it more comfortable than the RP3+ for that - but inline, non-analog triggers and the low screen rez is a disappointment.

Always pros and cons with all of these handhelds!
@dokferr Жыл бұрын
There's nothing wrong with the screen resolution. The chipset is not powerful enough for PS2 and GC, 1x internal resolution is better with 480p screen. And for DC, using 2x internal resolution will give better AA because of supersampling. 2D graphic such as on Snes and Genesis is also better with 480p. If the screen has higher resolution, the 2d games will become more pixelated. It also gives more room for the use of extensive shader. The only downside of this screen is for PSP and android games. But there is already RP3+ for that.
@L337g4m3r Жыл бұрын
The "low screen res" 4:3 aspect is because it is mostly used for emulators and that is a good resolution for integer scaling on many emulators. Also on a screen this small 640 x 480 is not bad, I have the RG350M with the same resolution and it is fine.

Great review, I like the teardown part added to the main review video. I like how you pointed out how easy a battery replacement would be. Yes I love the black buttons better on the black and grey devices, save the candy buttons for more color devices. The candy seems to standout way to much ( color wise ). now to the handheld its self, no video out, My heart just dropped. single SD card slot, no dual boot, that sucks. I Did like to see they went with the Xbox control layout, and gave option for pre-configure xbox controls. It does sucks a little they went with the 4.3 screen layout, not 16.9 hurting the higher up game play.

Why do they keep making these metal devices? It makes them so expensive.
@retrotechdad Жыл бұрын
There's definitely a market for it but it would be nice to see Anbernic just offer it in both a plastic and metal variant right up front.
@Knuckles2955 Жыл бұрын
There are a lot of people who will buy a console just because it appears ‘quality’, so there is a market. I bought the 405m because it will be my only retro handheld that will leave the house and therefore needs to be a bit more sturdy.

This Handheld is basically Anbernic's answer to the KT-R1. 😕
@cragui2002 Жыл бұрын
I am still undecided about ordering it, perfect handheld but lacks power to play ALL 4:3 content, i preordered the KT-R1 if it comes to be real maybe that will be the one.
@Pridetoons Жыл бұрын
@@cragui2002 It will definitely be more powerful however the only thing that concerns me is the fact the Handcrafted Handhelds can vary when it comes to overall Build Quality.
@retrotechdad Жыл бұрын
Really looking forward to the KT-R1. From what I've seen, the Helio G99 should give us a nice little performance boost.

This or Retroid 3+
@retrotechdad Жыл бұрын
Depends on the form factor you are looking for, same chipset. RP3+ has the 16:9 display whereas the 405M has a 4:3 display. It's also slightly more compact but has a metal build. It comes down to preference mostly, but both are very solid devices.

This is the 'better' chipset.. most retro handheld today stuck with rk3566, cant even run dreamcast properly

Just like the ABXYlute video this is one that feels very much like a 'sponsored' video shall we say. Having seen other 'reviews' on KZfaq for this handheld it is uncanny how they seem to hit the same beats despite being from reviewers with completely different styles.
@retrotechdad Жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear you feel that way. I did spend a lot of my personal time putting this together and really try to be as fair as possible with these kinds of videos. There will always be overlap with other YTers as some of the aspects of these kinds of videos are pretty standard such as the specifications. I do appreciate the feedback though and always appreciate you coming on by. 💗
