Leaked a few days ago, the new handheld from ANBERNIC has been officially confirmed with its name:
RG40XX H. -
It features a4" IPS full-laminated display, 5G Wifi module, Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI out and Moonlight streaming capability. The exact CPU model is rumored to be Allwinner H700.
-
It has a rounded look compared to ANBERNIC’s previous designs like the
353series. -
Available in three colours: black, grey, and blue, with LED joysticks that can select from over 16 million color options. This might not be practical, considering only about 25 different color settings would have been sufficient.
-
Expected to support emulation for games from PSP, Dreamcast, and N64 consoles, potentially at a price under $99. The official pricing has yet to be announced.
What do you think of ANBERNIC’s decision to continue with their naming pattern or would you prefer them to adopt something more distinctive?
Well, I have to either attach it to my phone with a clip of some kind (which makes for sometimes questionable ergonomics or for a very wobbly, insecure setup that makes me fear I’ll drop my phone) Or I have to put my phone down on something, which for the sort of thing I use devices like this for just isn’t doable.
I’ve found clip-on ones to be very insecure and wobbly generally. I have an 8bitdo controller with their phone mount clip thing and the setup just feels way too top-heavy like I’m going to drop my phone at any moment.
Which is exactly the point I’m making. I want to split that battery life up between devices, so my phone is less likely to die on me. I can deal without a handheld game console but if my phone taps out it’s more of a problem.
To add to this: I can’t fit one of those clips and a console controller in my pocket with my phone. These retro handhelds are a self-contained package that can easily slip into a pocket. The guy above you is being deliberately obtuse.
So you walk around with your keys, phone, wallet and a console in your pockets at all times… just carry a bag or a backpack.
If you really do carry all that shit with you i can imagine you look like this
Nope. I don’t carry keys. A phone, a minimalist wallet, and mini handheld fit with plenty of room to spare.
So you have plenty of room, but simultaneously cannot fit a clip-controller in your pocket? I take it you don’t carry a back pack either, that would just be ridiculous lol.
Such a weird argument “If you don’t carry keys for some reason, you can instead fit a handheld console in your pocket” or you can just have a backpack or use one of these things (which also fits into your pocket and will allow you to turn your phone into a much better gaming device):

There are plenty of devices like this and combined with your phone you can now play a lot more games, at higher resolutions with upscaling to combat the lack of dithering and get better frame rates… Oh and it will fit in your pocket and will be able to connect to a new phone when you get one, its future proofed.
