Cant wait for the next awaited Anbernic release in two weeks

I have the rg405m and one thing I can say for sure, for games with 4:3 format, once you try a 4 inches screen, you don't want to go back to 3.5 inches screens.

Very good and very serious analysis. I really appreciate. Phawx you so much.

Thanks for the in-depth look, I like your review format

Great thing about Anbernic is that they’re extremely affordable for those who are into emulation scene.

Love the intro transitions. One request, please mention the game names as you show case them.

Phawx, thanks for the video. What are your thoughts on false diagonals when you test D-pads? Thanks! 🍻🤘🏼

I got an RG Nano and fell in love with the aluminum body. I basically want this new system in aluminum. The HDMI out is a must and people dont know it! Once you play with friends on a tv you will want that feature!

The DPAD on top - as nature intended

Great seeing the Teleroboxer love. Its such a good game

Another thing about that weird standby, it is the same as Garlic or Onion with the “game-switching” mode. But NONE OF THE THREE will work with Hardcore RetroAchievements (the default mode) active, since loading save states is blocked.

This is my favorite form factor for GBC and GBA games.

Basically the same as Trimui Smart Pro except : 4:3 screen (good for consoles up-to Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast) but bad for PSP emulation. only have 3200mah Battery while Trimui Smart Pro have 5000mah battery.

Thanks for your review! Is it better than the RGB30?

i like the rx35xxh design the only bad are the clicking corner buttoms hope in the future get a rx35xxh design 5.5 inch with a better procesor

I really want a 4" SP with a thinner body and maybe some sticks even if small sticks (since its bigger, they can have more space to distribute the parts and get it thinner)

At exactly 16:04 we can see a LOT of light bleed. After the RG Cube light bleed drama, is this one another light bleed mess from anbernic? Or is it fine?

I’ll wait for the 40 XX pro .

Yo! That thumbnail transition is SO CLEAN!!! 💚

I’m definitely trading up my 35xx h for this bad boy.

Can you turn the rgb stick lights off? Great review thanks

Not bad, hope the price comes down. Personally I prefer this ArkOS quickmode style standmode, should be fairly quick and you dont lose any battery vs a traditional sleep mode. Yeah the save state mode probably only works for retroarch like in ArkOS. Definitely waiting for the price to drop a fair bit.

Perfect one for me would be a metal version of this with no RGB and a better battery. Basically a 405m with a high positioned D-pad. Maybe triggers like the RG40xx though.

I believe they’ve been calling this standby mode “quick shutdown” in previous models and firmware … right? You should be able to turn off this “standby” by turning off “quick shutdown” in the settings.

Great review. Please can you label the games playing on your videos. Need to know the names of the portmaster games and pico 8

What's the Sonic figure on the top right of the video and where can I get it??!!!!!!!

Lots of people are getting L1 problems with the blue and grey versions. Can you make a video on this and how to fix this?

Again, I asked for help, should I go ahead and buy the amoled version because I love the screen, or should I wait? The g556

what camera do you use for thermal imaging. intresting, is it portable @ plug in on phone

7:28 Yeah, it's from 0 to 100 *immediately.* There's just no build-up with the sensors, they're pretty cheap.

Its like tech for men is the new brightly colored pair of low-quality socks. The market seems to think we go through a pair per month.

I love the love for Teleroboxer

Random question but what is the size of the battery in mm? I'm wondering if there's a higher capacity battery out there.

Hey Phawx, can we expect an Odin 2 review from you?

Anyone know what game that is at 16:37?

This is the second RG40XX review i've seen that has involved petting a dog in nintendogs

smoothest thumbnail to video transition known to man!

are the analog stick can be replaced like the rg35xx h?

1:06 Having 64 bits vs 32 is not just for more addressable memory.

Can it run batocera (and others cfw from rg35xx H/Plus)? Thanks

i currently have the RG351V from anbernic would you say that its worth it to update to the RG40XXH? also can you run arkos on it and can i keep my saves from the old system to the new?

once this drops in price i will have to get it

Use the white foam cutout when opening the device up. I dont get why nobody uses it, i'm pretty sure thats what its for. Its got cutouts for the buttons, dpad, and sticks. Show game name and system when showing demo. 17:00 what game?

Options are good but i love the standby actually being save state + shutdown. Then if i don't touch the device for a day or two the battery isn't dead. True standby is only good for devices you're using almost daily, but cell phones have also broken our habit of turning devices like this off.

Wish anbernic make something like the r43 pro form factor with better dpad and hardware with unlocked software.

How much is it? Thanks

What's a safe site to buy one from

10:42 Messing with shaders is a lot of fun with RetroArch... assuming you can find good ones to use. There's this beautiful one for PS1 that I wish wasn't so performance-heavy called "CRT Royale xm29plus". Makes the game look like it's on a CRT (which is how these games were designed to look good under as it hides those pixel edges and gives it a smoother look), but sadly all of the Royale shader options either don't work properly or lag the game too much to be usable on these smaller devices. I've yet to find the perfect CRT shader but am content with whatever option I settled on for now. The overlays I'm not sure I'm much of a fan of. I wish they had something a bit more subdued for most of them, but the Game Boy Dot Matrix overlay shown at 10:20 onwards looks really nice with the traditional Game Boy DMG colors and the green Game Boy shader effect. I don't like the GBA border, either, so I turned it off when I replayed Zero Mission recently. A part of me liked it, but found it too distracting. I feel that way about a lot of overlays. I think I'd just rather have a dark empty edge around the screen if I have to choose.

Anyone know if Pico 8 can run natively on this?

And Gamecube, is possible on this device ? 🤔

Tbh, it’s pretty much a compact version of a TrimUI Smart Pro, albeit one that’s GarlicOS compatible.

whats the name of the game at the end of the video?

what game is he playing at 13:50 ? can somebody tell me

I just really want this screen on a t820 device

Does the RG40XX supports DOS game?

are the sticks that bad?

What about batocera?

Can you duck in contra with out taking a bullet to the face?

To this day, the RG353 handhelds running ArkOS give the best performance.

If one of these start shipping with oled I'd insta buy

im still saving up in change for their recent one and they have another new one lmao.

I dont get why the downgraded the battery when adding a bigger screen. At least use the same battery as the others.

Will cfw fix the analog sticks? I mean I'm sure it's the same way in the 35xxh. But since I don't own one, I don't know and haven't checked. I know they do the same thing with their android devices and custom roms fix the analog sticks so I guess it should be possible here as well?

Can i stream gamepass on this??

Great review Phawx. You're literally the only reviewer I'm not embarrased to watch when you start throwing ShoRyuKen's. I don't trust a reviewer who says stuff like "this dpad is amazing" and then they only hit about 40% accuracy, very cringe. Keep up the great work.

If the d-pad were a little more accurate (diagonals are a little too easy to press which is great for games like Street Fighter, but horrible for more precise games like Contra or maybe Metroid) and they didn't add those stupid analog lights that seem to be getting popular with these third-party manufacturers (which just distract me; I find the RGB lighting trend in gaming tend in general to just be incredibly annoying), _and assuming it's reasonably priced around the same bracket as the RG35XX H/Plus models, this is pretty much *precisely* the kind of system I was looking for when I originally started to dig into the third-party handheld market. The shoulder buttons are also a little clicky, but that's standard for these devices. Can't all have Switch-quality shoulder buttons. But anyway, I wanted a wide form-factor dual-stick device that could primarily play PS1 games (and in hindsight should have looked for something to play PSP games, though my Plus can *sort of* handle that as can the RG40XX H here in the video). Of course I'm past the point of considering a system like this, but if you can live with the d-pad and you aren't as uptight about lights on your system, this might be a good system for anyone trying to figure out what they want out of a device like this right now. Again, though, this is assuming a good price-point that doesn't go past like maybe $80 at most. I think they could justify it at that price-point, but the higher they go, the worse it is as an option because of how many other systems are in that bracket. Ultimately I am very satisfied with the RG35XX Plus that I got. It wasn't what I was originally intent on getting, but the moment I saw that Game Boy DMG design, I fell in love. I originally spotted the non-Plus model, didn't like some of its faults and wished it had more of what the Miyoo Mini+ and other similar devices had (wifi, bluetooth, etc.) but in a larger form-factor and less ugly button placement and quickly saw that the Plus model existed and it was just... kismet. I'm really happy with it, but since I love it so much I can't really justify buying another system in the same bracket that plays all the same games. Just isn't worth the money for me even with the inclusion of two analog sticks (which also are not very accurate due to the sensors, it's basically an 8-way d-pad masquerading as a stick as far as the sensors are concerned). It definitely gets the job done, though, and isn't a half-bad design. If it were me making the purchase, I'd probably wait for another update to this design and hope they come up with an improvement to the d-pad, stick and maybe get rid of those fucking lights (sorry, but I'm the kind of person who sometimes thinks about taping over the power LED on my 3DS just to get it out of my face when playing in a dark room). But on its own it isn't bad. Heck of a lot of value for, assuming again, the $60-80 price bracket these systems are typically in. EDIT: Oh yeah you said it right at the end, I missed it. $65 is a great price-point for it. An updated model with a few fixes for around the same price would be even better, but it's not bad at all.

What game is that at 13:45?

hello can we play a pokemon on this console?

trimui smart pro vs rg40xxh ?

It's the same like trimui smart pro?

Are the analog sticks that bad? Like for playing n64 games

RG Cube or this?

does it have different speakers than the cube?

They dropped the ball with this one for me. should've stuck a t618 and made it android for $119

16:41 name of the game?

Sony should've built the ps vita just like this but with the joysticks this has for l3 and r3 plus touchscreen and back touchpad. It would've succeeded. Well, if they allowed for normal sd cards to be used it would've succeeded even better, but anyway....

I just bought the 8840u WIN 4 !

I haven't even gotten the cube yet wtf

why does he keep saying "XDX" ??

I like the format for SNES emulation. Would like 5" even better, but since SNES can use almost the whole diagonal it's pretty good already. Great price. All that's really missing now is a double-screen hand-held to properly emulate New 2DS XL.

I stop selling their products because every month there's a new one. This is not good business sooner or later the hype will be gone

Phawx try Carnivore diet! I want you making videos for a long time.

If you got seven hours and 30 minutes with a PlayStation 1 game then I would assume something like a game boy or Nintendo game the battery life would be even better

ngl if i get it im considering removing the joysticks lol seem kinda pointless for the games i want to play

It’s sold out every where 😢

bro it hasnt even been a day and they're sold out I hate yall

Sold out everywhere, damn.

Oh… no ps2 ???

for that price ill go with a more powerfull android device

Phaws this system. Not buying
