Anbernic RG40XXV In-Depth Review

The RG40XXV is now the THIRD vertical "XX" handheld that Anbernic has released, but this one has a few perks: a beautiful 4" display, nice thin bezels, custom firmware on day one, and a d-pad that perfectly passes my most rigorous testing. Let's do a deep dive to see if this is a good fit for you.

The RG40XXV will release on 26 August at 3am PST, the links below will not work until then. It should retail for $67 + shipping and will be $60 for the first 72 hours of sale.

This was a review unit sent to me by the manufacturer. All opinions are my own, they did not see this review ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.
