ANBERNIC RG 40XXV

I own a Silver RG35XXSP and feel it's a really solid product. For this reason, I trusted Anbernic to equally impress me with the RG40XXV.

The screen size and quality is the highlight of the 40XXV and one of two reasons for my purchase (the other is the classic GameBoy form factor).

I ordered white, and the white plastic color makes the device look really cheap. It feels solid and has a nice texture, but the look/color has a fake-like hue. It's probably just a bad color choice. I cannot speak to the other color options, but they didn't look as appealing to me on the website and in the marketing materials.

Other than appearance, it's pretty light and the build quality seems good. I'll end up setting up the device with my own OS and ROMS, but I don't know that it'll get much use over my 35XXSP. The 35XXSP is just so pocketable and has the clamshell that protects the screen. Luckily I have two boys that may enjoy it, so this purchase isn't at all wasted. For under $60, and the fact that it has a decent OS and ROMS out of the box, it really is a great product. Overall, I'm just not sure I chose the right color option -- maybe there should be more colors to choose from.

For a larger screen and more premium experience, I've ordered the Retroid Pocket 5. But that will require a lot more setup before it's playable.

This device works great as a handheld emulator. The battery life is good and it charges quickly. The interface is intuitive and easy to follow. Would definitely recommend this product.

works perfect, didnt had any problems (using it now for a i think nearly a month + i got the RG505 for my girlfriend) custom firmware pushed it from a 8/10 to a 9/10
the only thing that i hate is the charging times, it takes loooong. rly long. theres no recharge quick in 60mins or even 120mins.
from 0% to 100% is (for my device) around 3-4hours
when on 100% it takes mine around 6-8 hours to run dry (GBA games)
overall for that price a solid device (get your own microSD card/s)

if anbernic staff is reading, for the next version, move the speaker more in the middle, its easy to cover the speaker with your hand at the moment

I've had the handheld for a few weeks but haven't had a chance to explore everything yet. So far, it's a good product. The D-pad is a little stiff. I'm hoping it will loosen up with use. But overall, I can't complain.

Love it! Been playing OG Pokémon since I got it. Just ordered the 406V. Not that I’m unhappy with the 40XXV, my girlfriend accidentally flung it across the room and it took a hard fall and the screen got kind of messed up in a very noticeable way. But I obviously know that these devices aren’t built to be thrown across a room so I’m not upset with the product. If anything I’m impressed that the damage wasn’t more severe. Overall I must say it’s an excellent product if you as far as Performance, Hand-feel and Durability. 10/10 Product. Honestly I’m glad it got messed up cuz it gave me the excuse to buy the better option after seeing how well this one preformed. It arrives tomorrow and I eagerly wait for its arrival and definitely will be purchasing more product from Anbernic in the future. (Photo taken after being damaged)
