The purple Anbernic 353V was my first emulation device. The battery literally blew up in my hands, nobody mentions that with these devices. That being said, the 406V looks like a much beefier version of that device and I hope they figured out the battery situation because I really want to get my hands on one
Its because its a li-po battery (batterirs used in RC cars back in the day) Very high output, but you cannot overcharge it and you cannot use fast chargers because...well, you found out lol
trying to find a full list of consoles it can support? Looking for more odd ball ones like Panasonic 3Do, Atari Jaguar, also very disappointed to not see ancient consoles like various ataris not included. I bought mine off amazon with 128gb and was really disappointed with the lame batch of games included.
i want exactly this but square corners and retro looking, this looks like a rc controller and the actual retro looking consoles are either $700 (you know which one) or too small
i am new to the channel today. i dont know if you talked about it before. but what was that really small handheld system you showed playing at the beginning of the video?
Im really torn between this and the 406h… while I love the vertical form factor, I don’t know if it’s comfortable enough for long gaming sessions, and the triggers seem better on the 406h… idk people, help me. This one is drawing me in bc playing gameboy games on this probably feels so good. Plus the sticks for 3d games…
The v is not comfortable. My h hasn’t arrived yet but I kept my RG cube longer than I kept any other handheld (except Odin 2). Was so comfortable, only sold in anticipation of this. Short Switch style sticks really let the cube down.
Once I review the 406h I can say, but as of now I like the sticks on the 406V for usability they just look odd. But they are way better than switch style ones.
I would buy it but it needs just a tiny bit of more performance and more case color options . `Probably the next gen chip set would be enough then I would buy it for a gift.
197 with change on Amazon as BF deal, but yeah nowhere near 150 which should be the absolute max. I don't see why people wouldn't just get the Retropocket 5 for 219, with a beautiful oled screen
This one, specifically, irks me because if ANY vertical handheld would/should've featured linear analog triggers, it should've been this chonky bastard. Sure, it can run GC, but you're SOL when it comes to titles that used the analog triggers, since unlike the DC (which you'd just map the analog triggers to the unused right stick), the right stick is gonna already be mapped to an existing input (C-stick). Well, at least Anbernic finally got their shit together in regard to sticks, starting with this device, though it'd be nice if they'd put them in RG556, since the sticks IT has are why I don't own one...
What do you think about ANBERNIC?They have made different device with same specs(T820)but only RG556 Is with AMOLED screen😢RG406H was Perfect with AMOLED screen 😢
When I play a modern iteration of the classic Game Boy, the first thing it needs to be is retro, as in look similar to the Game Boy. These colour options aren't retro and that's a fail. I may as well play something else (that's horizontal so can include the more powerful systems, and more comfortable) because there's no nostalgia evoked with this one.
This review was clicky and not squishy
The real answer
Been loving my rg406v. Taken some tinkering to get all I want, but that was part of the fun.
Any tips on how to add games? I can get them on the gamelist but they fail to load
@@Casper-s3uhave you tried refreshing the front end on your device after adding the games?
@@starsiegeRoks yeah im using the stock sd card with games preloaded on it im wondering if thats why
@@Casper-s3uwhat games? I pull things from vimm all the time and they all load just fine.
I have it, it's a great device. Black looks way cooler, mine is the gray one...
I ordered the gray one because I don’t like that the black comes transparent.
I’m not sure why they constantly change the plastic color options.
where is it for 150?
Check Anbernic’s website that’s without shipping and handling
Ebay

Very beefy!
Uhhh.... you gotta use the charger it comes with man you can't use just any charger with it
Had mine for over a month and so far no issues!
Its because its a li-po battery (batterirs used in RC cars back in the day)
Very high output, but you cannot overcharge it and you cannot use fast chargers because...well, you found out lol
@@LordLxnce if this is the case then I 100% learned the hard way lol
Good Review x
Thank you!
Anbernic is becoming the king of the emulation community
We need that GameCube emulator and this would be a hit. Soon I hope.
Some games are in Japanese/another language other than english. Do you know if we can change that to Eng?

I'm no expert but I would think as long as there's an Android emulator app for those consoles then they should work?

There is a super Nintendo color variant that imo looks the best of the 3 colors
Same, I wish it looked more like the RG40XXV.
Its too rounded and chunky looking for my liking

Excellent review, could you tell me if this device carries king of fighters 98 and samurai shodown thank you.
Thank you. As for the games, not sure. there are a ton of games on here, and you can always drag and drop more onto the SD card.
@ all right thanks

@@DaveyGI want something light and comfortable. Should I get this or the MM+?
This or 40XXV? Confused
I would buy it but it needs just a tiny bit of more performance and more case color options . `Probably the next gen chip set would be enough then I would buy it for a gift.
What do you mean BEFORE you buy?!?!?
😉
Mine arrives tomorrow (can't wait). Paid $117 during the AliExpress 11/11 sale
Before you put down cash, check out the info you need to know for this device!
I had to pay 125. Were you first time buyer? 117 how
It looks decent tbf
Also nice review
Thanks!
I just sub to your channel. love the content. Please recommend one that is under $100
You mean rg406v for $125.72 on sale :-)
Where are you seeing it for 150... even your own link leads to it for 219...
197 with change on Amazon as BF deal, but yeah nowhere near 150 which should be the absolute max. I don't see why people wouldn't just get the Retropocket 5 for 219, with a beautiful oled screen
You can grab it for 148 on Anbernic
@tosvus aliexpress has it for about 140ish and their own site.
switch games?
0:21 kinda look like R. Deniro
Dose 256gb come with gta
I have this one and it’s pretty good just the only thing I just don’t know how to run port master
I got the rg35xx just for gba games... And also the price... Mostly the price😢. Im broke😅

i wish this would come with 12gb ram someday. also i prefer clicky
Can I have an emulator
no
My S24 Ultra has a far better screen and runs Switch upscaled perfectly. The Razer Kishi I use with it has better buttons too.
No it doesn’t.
No shiz
I have a z fold 6 and I could never get used to playing on the phone. Its not optimal for gaming.
What do you think about ANBERNIC?They have made different device with same specs(T820)but only RG556 Is with AMOLED screen😢RG406H was Perfect with AMOLED screen 😢
They make too many devices, they know how to but it’s confusing to the customer.
@DaveyG thanks for the answer 👍
Aliexpress discount on Black Friday + 20$ coupon : 129$ :D
Nice
Arnt they fakes on there?
Titillating.

Horizontal (16:9) started after PS2, so this is perfect up to it really
Horizontal isn’t retro and that’s a fail too tho. You can get 406v in grey and swap out the button colors for red.
@@Wavetheory85 You miss the point
i got mine for 110 lol
Anyone else having Sega CD emulation problems on this thing? (The RG406v)
Yo yo yo homeslice give me a console plz 😢
