Anbernic RG40XXV retro handheld

About this device

The RG40XXV is the RG35XX all grown up — a bigger 4-inch IPS screen, dual analog sticks, and the same proven H700 chip. The best vertical budget handheld for anyone who's outgrown the RG35XX.

The Anbernic RG40XXV is the RG35XX all grown up. A bigger 4 inch screen, dual analog sticks, and a larger battery sit on top of the same proven H700 chip, which keeps it reliable and affordable. It plays everything through GBA and PS1 with ease and handles most DS and lighter N64 titles. muOS and KNULLI add polish, and Mini HDMI out enables TV play. For someone who loves the vertical shape but found the RG35XX a little cramped, this is the natural step up, and one of the best budget verticals you can buy.
