Anbernic RG 40XXH is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by H700 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1GB LPDDR4 RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 4" IPS LCD display (640 x 480, 4:3). 3200 mAh battery and WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2. Runs Linux.
Inside sits the Allwinner H700 SoC with four Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.5 GHz, paired with a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of LPDDR4 RAM. 8-bit and 16-bit consoles and arcade games through MAME and Final Burn Neo run comfortably, and even SNES FX titles and 3D PlayStation games reach 60 FPS. Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast are mostly playable, PSP is somewhat playable and Saturn is barely playable, so the sweet spot is everything up to the PS1 era.
The 4-inch IPS display has a 640 x 480 resolution at 60 Hz and a 4:3 aspect ratio, matching the proportions of the original consoles, with around 200 ppi for crisp pixel art. Tempered glass with OCA lamination protects the panel, and brightness is adjusted from the menu.
Controls cover almost any retro system: symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3, a cross-shaped D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons and four vertical shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). Rumble adds tactile feedback, while dedicated volume buttons sit alongside Menu, Power and Reset. Audio comes from bottom-facing dual stereo speakers or a 3.5mm headphone jack.
A 3200 mAh battery powers the device and charges via a top-facing USB-C port. WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 handle wireless connectivity, a Mini HDMI output lets you play on a TV, and dual microSD slots make it easy to separate the system from a large game library.
The RG 40XXH runs Linux and modding is permitted, so custom firmware is an option for those who like to tinker. Supported platforms range from Atari, Commodore 64, Amiga, MSX and ZX Spectrum to PC Engine, Neo Geo, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS, plus ScummVM, OpenBOR and Pico-8.
Ideal for: retro fans who want a 4:3 screen, dual analog sticks and TV output in an affordable handheld focused on classics up to the PlayStation era, with occasional N64 and Dreamcast sessions.
