This is the best review I’ve seen for this device! I usually skip through videos, but I watched this one from start to finish. Every second is packed with substance.
I definitely would choose the 40XX over the Trim UI for the simple fact that’s it’s 4:3. I have the 405m with the same screen and that 4inch size is great and if you throw a nice crt filter on it it really does feel like you’re playing on a portable CRT TV. It’s very nostalgic to me in that way. I wish more company’s would do bigger 4:3 screens like this.
@@Longwittyusername I disagree. I don’t like black bars on the left and right of my 4:3 games. It just doesn’t look very good to me. Also, I like the controls on the 40XX better than the clicky buttons on the trim UI.
It's worth noting that mine came with a 64GB Kioxio sd card - that's actually a legit card that does not need to be replaced. I think that's actually Toshiba.
Its basically $90 with shipping though. Shipping is like $17 which is ridiculous. Shipping should never be more than 10 bucks. The shipping should never be 1/4 the price of a device.
@@jg2722 I just bought one this morning for $57 including shipping (ships from the US too). Came to about $60 with tax. This seems to be about the going rate, with a couple of different sellers having prices in the $55-$65 range including shipping.
The rubber membrane on the dpad and buttons are too stiff, thats the only thing I don't like about mine. I wish it was like the V model, with rubber membrane select/start and menu button.
sub 90? just got it off aliexpress for 54 lol. without any coupon or anything. and its set to arrive friday, shipping only took a week. my only retro handheld so far has been the rp 2 plus. not the 2 s, the old 2 plus that came out just before the 3 (I was mad when they dropped the 3 so soon after i got the 2 Plus). back then it was ~115, my how prices have come down. it's good, but for one i feel like the panel is lower quality, it's ok, not terrible, but it just doesnt pop. these newer devices i see on yt seen to have much better panels so i'm expected a big display upgrade with the 40 xx h. that and the 4:3, since i mostly just care about snes era emulation anyway. so yeah it seems like a turbocharged 2s and cant go wrong with the price i paid. these small horizontal handhelds really check a ton of boxes for me. comfort, portability, price, the 2d emulation i want, analog sticks if desired, etc. i feel like eventually i'd like to get a high end all in device as well, like a logitech g cloud with more power (I had a G Cloud for a while, it was awesome) but thats a total other category of device. heck at this point it's rumored there will be a portable xbox next gen, so i might just end up waiting for that.
@@jg2722 whenever i got it was 54 all in including shipping and tax. but it was on some sale i'm sure. i got the 35xssp or whatever the clamshell for like 40 (technically 46 iirc) too. i ended up not liking this one tbh. the analog sticks get in the way of the dpad for me, design flaw ruins it. plus there is a quality control issue, on my particular unit i assume, the screen juts out a little at the bottom it's not symmetrical with the top edge of the display which sits perfectly flat. still works fine, just bugs me. if not for this two issue i would love it. but as it is just set it aside probably for good, not worth returning to china for me,
no mention of cfw which is a huge part of these devices and experience now.... i have this device on the way, plus just got a Trimui Smart Pro and X55.... CFW makes or breaks the experience of these devices... Crossmix OS for example revived the TSP and has given it a boost.... X55 with JelOS right out of the box enhances the whole experience as wel.. though jelos is now dead, which takes away alot of the functionality and enjoyment ofa device.... for example new additional emulators and cores for devices, Portmaster being introduced to a ton of devices... Crossmix gave the TSP a sudden surge of popularity... PSP performance and N64 performance right out of the box improvements have taken the TSP into a recommended must not miss value and performance ratio.... the TSP has since risen in price but still remains unbeatable value depending on size of rom card... and is sub 100.... the 2 recessed sticks are the TSPs only negative depending on personal preference and use case... TSPs screen size and now performance boost gives it an edge in PSP and NDS emulation... only the X55 is slightly more capable in performance and screen size and ergonomics and comfort

Agreed, that screen is simply fantastic!
Can you suggest some crt filters?

This is one of the best handheld reviews I've ever seen! Congrats for the video! Can't wait to recieve mine!
Thanks! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with your 40XX H when it arrives. Great casual handheld to take with you on the go.
I like your in depth reviews. Great job!
Excellent overview. Ive just ordered one and looking forward to gaming with it
This is a very high quality review. Great job.
Thanks!
Great in-depth review.
Thanks!

This device looks so nice
Sub 90? They cost 70 (even from the official store) if you don't use the links from that guy.

"glass is 2.5D"
What does that mean?
Love mine
Happy you like your purchase so far!
RGB is completely useless in my opinion
Because this is a budget device
RGB is a girlie fad, a distraction to gaming, adds extra cost and weight and is a pathetic joke around crap joysticks.
does this device already have custom firmware?

For me it says shipping is $17 which is why people say $90. So its actually $70 but with $17 shipping and tax.

What are the preloaded N64 games?
Bomberman 2, Bust-A-Move, Castlevania, Deep Cover Gecko 3, Deep Cover Gecko 64, Mission Impossible, Nuclear Strike 64, Paperboy, Rockman64 and Wave Race.
Is that just some or is that all of them? @@KeiRetroGaming
That was all of the ones on my unit.

I guess after seeing every review on this unit , is fingerprints really going to stop someone from buying it ???
Hey easysmx xo5 or t39 which one is better for combat and driving
The T39 is terrible quality, go for the X05. The X05 is actually very impressive for the price.
And I got a nice blue card not cheap
How come the sign in streets of rage is blue on the 40xx and purple on the other devices. That’s quite a difference!
The sign flashes multiple colors. Each device is paused on a random one.
@@intenseretrogaming ok thanks that makes total sense. I couldn’t understand whyhe wasn’t mentioning this.
