Idgaf about this until I see Anbernic take the post-sale experience seriously. No updates despite a number of issues for the flagship android device (RG556) feels neglectful. It's like it's forgotten and drowned in this bi-monthly release crap.
Never apologize, excellent insight into Ambernic’s latest, done so in insightful and entertaining way;kudos for throwing ‘I hate Onions Russ’ some retro handheld gaming hobby & industry wide respect too! I’ll sub for that YT professionalism.
Thanks for a thorough review. You might be new to TH-cam; but, no-one who watches your content would ever guess that. Keep it up! Question: Are you still planning on doing the 406V sticks transplanted into other Anbernics video?
Same here I'd like to know if those sticks work in the RG556 since mine i's sitting on a shelf. Hey if it's easy enough see if the RGB lights can be swapped in the RG556 as well
I actually would like to know if these will work in a real Switch. My Switch Lite feels really crappy without some high caps. These new analogs look super nice and have a lot of travel, but are minimal in size making them the perfect handheld sticks. Sadly the ones in the RP4 are way too custom to use anywhere else.
@@RetroMannGaming for the switch look into the hori split pads I have a few pair they new ones are slimmer and really comfortable but have great thumb sticks
@@LastBlackStone there will be one I should hopefully get my retroid pocket 5 a bit earlier thank most so I do plan on doing a comparison but keep in mind there is a $60 price difference between the two
Good job with the review. I'm looking forward to hearing about the Retroid Pocket 5 when it's available. Also, if you have a Funny Playing FPGBC - I would love to hear your thoughts.
@@Raphtor13 I will be getting a review unit for the retroid pocket 5 and I do plan to build a fpgbc in the future I love their kits I’ve made them before
Curious to know which color you will like better , the grey or off white one. Great review and video quality by the way , your channel will get big soon.
@@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden that’s so kind to say!!! I already know I love the gray more I thought the white would be off white but it’s more yellow white which I don’t love
Retroid caps fit these. So you can at least get concaves right now. Their new led around the sticks is nice in this and other models. It doesn't bleed outside the sticks on the transparent models like it does on the 556. Have you tried a laptop hub? Mine does charging and video out at the same time. My retroid pocket 2s plays NFS underground on dolphin mmj. Your settings have to be wack if this machine fails at playing it.
Hey! This is a really great video! I’m a huge fan of Anbernic devices. Did you have a previous channel or something? How did you get on Anbernic’s list for reviews? Cheers!
@@NeiltendoPower yeah Im new to TH-cam but I’ve been making videos for other platforms for a while and have had a great connection to anbernic for a few years! I’m excited to start the TH-cam journey thank you for the kind words !
I'm considering to buy one of these on next December but I'm little bit that I won't ve able to play any racing games as Need For Speed Most Wanted or Carbon. What about Grand Turismo? or sandbox games as Grand Theft Auto vice city or San Andreas?
@@ToddTronics in terms of processor power what do you think is better the RG 406V or the RG556? Does the RG556 has the same problems with racing games?
How is the comfort playing 1++ hours using the analog sticks? I wonder. I’m disappointed we can’t use display output to tv for co-op and charge at the same time. Is there some solution for this like a dock maybe? Otherwise this device would be perfect imo.
@@Wavetheory85 no I don’t think the motherboard supports going that so no accessories are gonna change that and comfort isn’t bad I played a lot of SSX tricky last night lol
@@ToddTronics okay, thanks. This device is the one I really want, just wish it could charge and play on tv. I guess I’ll end up with at least 3 devices. I just started with Miyoo mini+ trying to hold off until holiday season.
@@allen0088 my 405v is running gamma os so I don’t know if it would be a fair comparison but I can tell you that without a doubt the 406v screen is better
The only problem is the more powerful you makes these the more they suck at doing. Try a modern shooter on this thing while streaming Xbox. Enjoy smashing your thumbs together and getting The Claw trying to use the thumb sticks and triggers at the same time. Not gonna happen. Vertical handhelds are a thing that belong in the past. Barring any groundbreaking controls modifications.
@@RCCRAWL-q7g I think the idea of the vertical hand held is still great this was never designed for modern games this is why it has a 4:3 aspect ratio I think the more important thing is to know what the product was designed for and anything else it can do is just a added bonus
How come these cheaper products have hall effect controls and higher company's Sony etc...cant they use cheap shit that fail even on the newer ps handheld

Keep going!!!!! We want to see more on this device
Thank you !!! The next video is going to be opening it up to look at the thumb sticks and possibly swapping them into older anbernic devices

@@wesm.2133 which color did you get
Esy has plenty of those caps for the Odin 2, RP 4, 2S. They are all compatible with this device since they are all the same.
@@jakesmith5278 yeah I planned on waiting til my gray 406v shows up to pick some up
What's your opinion about the shoulder buttons? On the RG405V they were too easy to press, very annoying.

Please test the sticks on the RG405V
@@ShadowDSi the sticks on the 405v are pretty awful in comparison they snap hard to cardinal directions

@@namechanged3044 do you mind telling me what systems you think you will be playing most
@Toddtalkstech1 I'm not entirely sure, I know I would like to play things like Kirby, Sonic, and Mario. Just thing like that
Can you make a video how to add roms?
Man I wish they could somehow throw out an software update for the 556 for the sticks

Compare screen at max brightness to the 405v

why no one is testig native android games like genshin, Minecraft.
@@Analougeguy lots of people do but but given the 4:3 screen many of the games just don’t scale or look quite right and its got enough power for sure
