Anbernic is getting ready to launch yet another handheld for retro gaming, probably before the year wraps up. To give you some background, not much time has passed since their last release, the RG406V (currently priced at $226.99 on Amazon). In the meantime, they've introduced the RG CubeXX as a less expensive option compared to the RG Cube. Additionally, they are set to launch their first wireless controller tomorrow.
New Model in the Works
Recently, a leak has hinted at a horizontal version of the RG406V being developed. This new model, referred to as the RG406H, is believed to be the same gadget that was earlier called the RG406P. The RG406H features a horizontal design that initially looks a lot like the RG Cube, given its d-pad, joystick, and ABXY button setup.
Specs and Features
Expectations are that the RG406H will come with a 4-inch IPS display in a 4:3 aspect ratio, delivering a 720p resolution. If the RG406H maintains the same specifications as the RG406V, it will operate on Android 13, powered by a 5,500 mAh battery, along with 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 flash storage.
Furthermore, it appears that Anbernic is returning to the Unisoc T820 chipset for this model, which will be managed with a small active cooling system. While the exact release date remains uncertain, we believe the RG406H might hit the market in November.
