ANBERNIC Announces Their RG406H Android Handheld Emulator | Retro Dodo (retrododo.com)

ANBERNIC has just announced their newest handheld device, the RG406H. This is a horizontal form factor with an interesting blend of design elements from previous models.

Key Features:
4″ IPS touchscreen with a resolution of 960 x 720 and black bezels
T820 CPU, capable of emulating PS2, Gamecube, and Wii games
Good build quality with upgraded shoulder buttons, LED hall-joysticks, and a responsive D-PAD
Runs Android for additional gameplay options
Available in three colour variations: black, white, and transparent purple

This announcement comes after ANBERNIC has released multiple handhelds this year. There's no official release date yet but it’s expected to be priced around $150+.

Given the powerful CPU and the ability to emulate high-end consoles, what do you think about the claimed emulation capabilities? Can this device truly handle all PS2 games?

Been looking into these lately after seeing so many posts about them here. I think I've just about settled on either this one or the Retroid Pocket 5, they seem to be roughly similar from what I can tell. Looking forward to full reviews of both once they're available to help make the decision.

Halfway settled on the CubeXX at first, but I think the rectangle screen would be a little more useful than square, and there are a few PS2 and N64 games that I'd love to play and I think it's too underpowered for that.

Another day, another Anbernic device 😀

Given that the RG Cube already handles PS2, GC and some lightweight Switch Games well, yeah I can see this new one to handle those platforms good as well.
