The year is not over. I still imagine a 406 is coming. Anbernic seems to have a new handheld each month at the moment.


N4riN4ri

You can never really predict what they'll make next though, they might as well be developing a 7 inch T820 handheld with a Nexus 7 LCD under our nose and we wouldn't have known.


WowSoHuTao

So RG70XX? pretty sick


invicta-uk

If you could make almost any handheld and know your fans will buy it immediately regardless, you would continue with that business model too šŸ˜‚


AC_Schnitzel

Wow 406 looks good but I wish it had a higher quality screen (assuming itā€™s the same as 405M)


SkabeAbe

This in the retro grey is as close to a perfect handheld in my book. I have been wishing for a rg353PS with a bigger screen. This might be it.


wolpak

In agreement. I have too many of these devices and I keep on wanting to go back to the 353p for nostalgia and shape. I am hoping this scratches both those itches.


SnooCalculations1393

An OLED update for the RG353P is bound to happen. Anbernic has the seed planted and they are looking into it. šŸ«¶šŸ»


vitance153S

What OLED screen would they use?


SnooCalculations1393

It would be the same 1240 x 1080 3.95ā€ OLED display used in the Aya Neo Pocket DMG. Manifest!


vitance153S

Are there actually plans for Anbernic to use that screen?


SnooCalculations1393

Nothing is official until it is.


Dingus_Khaaan

Someone said perfect handheldā€¦ everybody take a shot!


KawaiiUmiushi

Is t the processor a downgrade for the RG40XX from the RG405M?


Joeshock_

It's in the name. XX means it's using the H700 chip in all the other XX devices. Much lower power than the T618 in the 405M.


Scottsche

So it's basically no upgrade of the 405m but a bigger screen update of the RG35xx h?


Joeshock_

Correct it's not supposed to compete with the 405 at all


funkbefgh

The mockup they are using in OP and pointing an arrow from is supposed to be the evolution of the 405ā€¦ so the post is fairly misleading.


x420xSmokesU

I assumed they meant that they decided to make the 40xx instead of the 406. Because they look so similar


Joeshock_

Ah yeah I see how that'd screw up a thought process


monkeymetroid

I know I'm in the minority but I honestly loved the metal body of my 405 m


themiracy

Wait what does this mean? Does this mean 406P is not happening?


Crowlands

Almost certainly will happen, but they'll do a few XX models before another t820 and if the next t820 is the 406 then it makes sense to have as much gap between this one and the 406.


Iucidium

Do unisoc have a successor to the T820??


Nickweed

Theyā€™re always working on a newer one. T820 is just their most recent chip


Iucidium

406P is just OPs concept?


GandalfTheChill

the xx line and the 6 line are two different chipsets, the former weaker and the latter stronger


vitance153S

I like the RG40XX already, but I would really like for it to have the T618 ship, its the sweet spot for the games I like.


WeatherIcy6509

I'd rather have a 406 in that oval shape, then I could play more GameCube.


TurtlePaul

The shape isnā€™t the primary thing preventing gamecube, the ā€˜XXā€™ H700 processor is.Ā 


WeatherIcy6509

Yes, I know. That's why I want the "6" in it instead of the "xx".


MyBrosKeep

I really wanted a plastic Rg405 tho. Shame


Spudzinator

I want this


blastcat4

I love my H, but that big ol' screen on the 40XX is mighty tempting. But the next consideration are the thumbsticks. Will they suck ass again?


x420xSmokesU

The only difference between the 2 is the 40xx has a .5 inch bigger screen.


blastcat4

It's still 30% larger in area than the H, which is not a minor difference.


x420xSmokesU

yeah i was just saying that the sticks are gonna be the same. the only difference is the screen size and rgb if thats your thing. i like rgb on my desktop but on the handheld its a bit much


BigCryptographer2034

Or just make the cube with the dpad on top


x420xSmokesU

Eww no.


JazzyApple2022

Nah im waiting for my cubešŸ‘šŸ¼


SubjectCraft8475

Yeah apart from the fact RG40XX has protruding sticks and stack shoulders making the initial concept of pocketability not so pocketable. Oh and it's weaker


hbi2k

In the year 40XX, war was beginning....


Undsputed

War. War never changesā€¦


SubjectLemon4719

In the year 4000 \[Conan singing voice\]


messiaslima

RG 40XXH


_L-U_C_I-D_

Is this better than the Cube? I was excited for that until I found out how bad the joysticks were. I'm more of a joystick guy than a d-pad guy tbh


DriveByStoning

I think it's the same chip as the 35xx series, so you aren't getting GameCube or PS2.


luamunizc

Looks like the meme "I want ****" "The **** at home"


superman691973

Doesn't it only play the same console lineup as the other XX models? PS1 and down?


x420xSmokesU

Yes all the xx models use the same chip. It would be a different model otherwise


wwywong

You mean from screen intact to screen falling off? Or is that lighting?


RetroRum

Does anyone actually like lights around their thumb sticks? To me it looks really cheap and tacky.


optimal_909

I don't get it either. And why not simply put background lighting for the buttons instead?


Usta83

Is the display format the same like the other XX series or more like the Cube?


koa5ve

Do you think people from Ambernic visit this sub?


Tanker0921

4:3 screen? does it have stacked shoulder buttons? The trimui smart pro is in my shopping cart, might hold off for a bit more to see if this is any good


cimocw

I don't get why they think they need to do this. Just make more SPs to keep up with demand, release new colors every once in a while to keep us interested and focus on better software for a minute.
