Anbernic RG40XX H: Big Screen!

The new Anbernic RG40XX H is mostly more of the same: same H700 chip, same form factor, same software experience. But it also has some subtle improvements, like a 4-inch 4:3 display, stacked triggers, and RGB lighting. So let's take a deep-dive look at this handheld and see if it'll be a good option for you.

After I purchased the RG35XX Plus, I gave my original RG35XX to my childhood friend (from 1st grade!) with whom I used to play lots of games from Intellivision, NES, SNES, GB, N64, GBA, VirtualBoy, and GameCube games with growing up. A lot of happiness comes from being able to do that.

@TeepoST88 14 күн бұрын

Anbernic is killing it with this line, the same chipset but in almost any form factor you want and the shared custom firmware prograss across the board, however I wish they used a slightly more powerful chip and better analogs. These are able to run n64 and Dreamcast fairly well, but there are still issues and coupled with the cardinal snapping and dead zone on the sticks, it makes these devices pretty much capled at PS1 and below, and there are just so many devices that can already do that. I switched from the 35xx to the 405m and Mario 64 went from so frustrating that I thought the controls had just aged terribly on the 35xx, to getting all 120 stars on the 405m.

@retronaut8864 14 күн бұрын

Just want to add one bit of perspective here: another controller that flat out fails the Contra test is the NES controller. It's a bit more nuanced, you do have to press hard on the corner of the D-PAD, simply rocking left and right gently won't throw a diagonal. But if you're trying, you can easily do it with thumb on the down arrow.

It’s such a blast from the past, and I had a ton of fun playing “A Link to the Past” on it. I’m not seeing that nostalgic factor with the 40XX H… sure, the bigger screen is a plus, and the ergonomics. But it doesn’t have that “squee”ability. And if I want a bigger, more comfortable screen, well, I already have my Odin 2. Maybe it’s copium, but I think I’m good with what I’ve got for now.

Nice vid, and cool device. Only comment i have is i dont understand why youtubers feel the need to say these manufacturers are "shady" for including roms, while also making guides for how people can add their own roms and bios with guidance to google for them. If anbernic or powkiddy want to include roms, thats their legal risk to take. It just seems weird to judge them morally when like 99.99% of the community is adding roms or bios that they didnt dump themselves, nor do they even own the originals. It's obviously a legal issue but i cant call them shady when i'm getting roms from the same sources they likely did. Portmaster ports are a tiny bit different since people do often get the legit files from a steam copy they purchased, but i see tons of community members searching for pirated dumps of those files too, so they often just buy the game out of impatience and having no other choice as opposed to trying to be ethical.

Why do I get a feeling that there will be a plus model for this, something like a more powerful chipset and/or a bit larger battery.

@hydrophobicwalrus749 14 күн бұрын

I have a similar concern. I want a 4:3 4" screen, but it's not urgent, and knowing Anbernic, I feel like I should wait quietly for a few months to see what else they churn out.

Just ordered the black version.. 4" screen and perfect aspect ratio for retro games.. yes please!

Thank you for the shake test! Bummer about the loud shoulder buttons and heat issue tho. Been waiting on a bigger screen (honestly don’t know how people can put up w smaller screens than this), but these flaws are deal breakers.

If they really release a new one every 3-4 weeks maybe you can tell them to bring out an N64 inspired one with 6 button style like the ARC D. 😁I think that’s what’s currently missing from their lineup.

Amazing videos you make. i love it. you are amazing. i wish if you can make family pocket devices review,, i can feel what they promise in that price its worth. actually they they are very good. but dont know the key pads are good. but still its doable .

i really like it, and seriously consider making it my first gaming hand held. I would rather have something like an Odin 2 or Pocket 4 , but since i don't know how much/little i will end up using it , the RG40XX seems like a good device to test the waters with . If all else fails , i can just hook it up to the TV and a Hori Fight Stick mini and use it as a console for arcade games from my childhood

Too bad it doesn't have more performance than the RG35XX H....

@JollyAndy 14 күн бұрын

Why couldn't this have the 1:1 screen? I'm very interested in a higher quality Rgb30, but not for the $150 price of the Cube. If the 40XXH were 1:1, that would really differentiate it from the 35XXH and fill a need. As is, this seems like a device without a need.

Always interesting how similar most of these devices are. I got my RG405V a few months ago and I think until something releases that vastly outperforms it for a similar price, I'll stick to my "chunky gameboy" as I like to call it. Still I enjoy watching these videos, thanks for your thourough breakdowns of these. :D

@wingsfromheaven8788 13 күн бұрын

Yes, these cheaper devices are a significant downgrade from your RG405V. Your next step-up is something like the RP4/Pro with accessory grip. The best sub $80 device today is the RGB10MAX3 (non-pro) IMHO.

You have to stop promoting these Anbernic devices Russ. Anbernic have no support for the community and provides no source code for the kernel or U-Boot which is illegal and against the GPL. People need to be made aware of these activities. You should probably do a video on that... That's more informative...

Anbernic helps pay the bills so I don't see why he should stop, his job is to review and that is what he does..... Yes Anbernic pumps these devices out like nobody's business but it's up to you as the consumer to stop buying....

@DanielMartin1974 4 күн бұрын

@@viruscure4677 i have never brought an Anbernic device so I'm doing my bit. I don't see how `paying the bills` should be an excuse to not outline the illegal activities of this handheld supplier. Money motivations doesn't make it ok. Anbernic benefits from the software and doesn't contribute back which can be easily done with little financial impact to them. It doesn't make sense as they would benefit from more software providers supporting these devices.

I dont intend to bring negativity, sometimes theres stuff you need, sometimes you feel the need to buy stuff but in reality you dont need. Instead of buying the same thing in 5 different sizes, turn around and buy your wife something pretty, or something needeed in the house.

Man I really appreciate the discussion about integer scaling and the caveats to the SNES not scaling that great, even though this is a 4:3 device. If I could have my way I'd love a 5 inch hi density 1:1 from ambernic, like 1080x1080 or something wild like that.

@davidjohn_va 14 күн бұрын

This really reminds me of my trimui pro. The rgb around the sticks, stacked triggers, the overall shape but with just a slightly narrower screen. Honestly i would've picked this up over the trimui if it has released sooner
