I can't see the point in a single stick and digital triggers with the V. The H model gives you 2 sticks and Analog triggers. I dig the new RG406V also, but the fact that THEY STILL went with digital L2/R2 blows my mind. They're putting analog triggers on H700 devices FFS, and that's got a T820 in it!
Looks great but I'll pass. I'm more than happy enough with my silver Anbernic SP. The transparent red looks the best out of all the transparent colors they have for the SP
Anyone else want one of these with the new 4” display from the 406V? I’m happy for those who want and get 2.5-3.5” retro handhelds, but I’d love to see more 4”+ with higher resolutions and pixel density.
The green color looks beautiful, but I'm still holding back on buying one. I just got RG40XXV, and I'm super impressed by its build quality. Maybe next year...
@@XxPARTYBEARxX careful. The screen on my 40xxv gave up already. Lines all over it and flickering. Adult owned and never dropped. But I'm a dummy and went ahead and ordered one of these today. Let's hope it lasts longer.
Thanks for sharing this. I know alot of people were concerned at the heat coming off the cpu by the battery. I actually found the same thing on my RG40XXH. A lot of thermal padding by the cpu. So im really happy to see Anbernic is listening.
I have always been a fan of transparent red consoles, so now this is available in that I will be picking one up for sure. I held of buying one for so long in hopes of a transparent red
The new green looks really nice! I have the blue transparent version, but tbh the RG35XXSP is my favourite handheld of Anbernic's releases from 2024, I wish I had the money to just buy them all😅
Thank you for comparing it to the N64 green. I stopped myself from immediately ordering one because I have plenty others to play while I wait for this to go on sale
This green color might make me pull the trigger on my first anbernic device tbh, its glorious. MuOS function almost the same as onionOS so i have no problem there. Now i just have to wait for black Friday sales 😊
Thank you for the fast upload considering this launched just yesterday where I'm from. Thanks for focusing on comparing the membrane on the previous version vs the new one. Looks like they didn't change anything despite it wearing down quite quickly. Guess I'm sticking to my Blue one.
If you do the tape mod, which takes about 10 minutes and is the easiest mod I have done to a handheld, the buttons stop being clicky at all. They are silent if done right
Whats scary is you can already see at 6:08 your old membrane getting punctured, itll eventually go through and damage the physical switches on the board as show at 6:31. Since the new buttons/membranes look the same i am kind of regretting purchasing this...only time will tell with the new models i guess. Thanks for the video!
A neat touch I noticed here is that Anbernic color coordinated the heat shield color with the shell color. I'm wondering if this was a case of accidental greatness because all of the new shields are green, or if their transparent colors will each have their own color-matched heat-shields. This green is beautiful. I'm not sure what this exact shade is called; but, I'm sure that it's the correct shade of green. It makes you look like you've spent a lot of green on it. If they put these SPs on "The Price Is Right" and asked people to guess the price you'd see the little yodeling alpine guy plunge to his death like Hans Gruber every time. It looks at least a good $50 more expensive than it is, IMHO. To be fair; the transparent blue and red also look just as premium and just as fun. The new everclear model is probably great too. There's also some really classy solid colors available. If there's a "problem" with the SP it's that every single color on offer is an absolute banger. On one hand that makes it hard to choose. On the other hand, no matter what you choose you can't go wrong. Anbernic really did a great job with these.
Are the dome switches on the motherboard easier to press? Are they a different material or manufacturer design? Maybe that's where the reduced clickiness comes from?
I was curious what version I had so I opened mine up. Mines a version 4, manufactured April 2024, but I don’t have any thermal paper. I bought my transparent black a couple weeks before the other colors were released.
I wonder if there is any difference in heat dissipation between the clear plastic and the solid plastic (like the silver). This could be a stupid thing to think/ask but I'm curious if there's any difference to the plastic other than transparency. I know there haven't been any reports lately of batteries melting since Anbernic had said they knew of the problem and were working on resolving it, but I have heard a lot of reviewers claim it can get pretty warm, so I've been a little nervous to take the plunge. I want this to pair with my Steam Deck, SD be everything N64 and up and the SP for everything before N64 (will probably be a glorified pokemon device for while I wait in line).
Got the silver and retro color when it first came out. Did the tape mod to the retro one but not the silver. With sales i ended up getting the black and blue transparent ones. Buttons felt just a tiny bit better on those And similar to the tape modded original one. New batch I just got the clear one. Don't need anymore but maybe I'll get the other colors down the road if there's a good enough sale but probably not. I need to stop
i switched to Knulli too and one the whole now its set up i actually love it, but im still having the issue where its deleting the shader folders im adding after a reboot! No idea what causes this but no matter where i put it on the card after rebooting the folders with my shaders are just gone! Any ideas? I add them via SSH if that might have anything to do with it perhaps...
@NJ-Tech maybe, I haven't had that problem yet with Knulli. Only thing is the ES loading every console in my library after rebooting, but that's normal
I love my silver and blue ones. I might pass, however I do like the less clicky buttons. The red does look nice though... and I love the case! I might be calling on Mr Credit Card once again...
I am indeed somewhat more tempted by these colors. But I keep asking myself, "why didn't they just release this with sticks?" I would already have one, possibly 2 now with these new colors. But then I remember... It's Anbernic. They milk every upgrade they can. Obviously, I mean... more color options... There are just WAY TOO MANY PortMaster games out there and more coming out every single week that either REQUIRE or are made much easier with Sticks, for me to buy an H700 device without them. Love my RG35XX-H but I'd really love a clamshell device... If Miyoo EVER releases the Flip, they will get my money. Honestly, Whoever releases a clamshell with sticks first will get my money, actually... GREAT REVIEW, ZU. WE ALL_LOVE_YOU!!!
I like this Anbernic the most! BUT! My heart skipped a beat when I saw the game at 2:11. I played it about 30 years ago, and it has come to my mind many times since then! Please, can you tell me what it's called!?
If I hear it’s improved from launch I’ll look for Black Friday sales on the Green. EDIT: Also, I should look into games that work well SP to SP or as wireless controllers with 1 connected to a TV.
How can these companies STILL not get the jungle green color correct?! There are tons of Etsy case mods for various consoles, handhelds that have really vibrant, even neon sometimes, transparent plastics.
You can't mess up unless you were actually trying for Jungle Green, which they just said it was green, nothing more, nothing less. I do live an opaque matte olive drab, but I prefer blue vs yellow leaning greens otherwise.
Anbernic makes too much stuff. I'm like... paralyzed with options. It feels like there is no way to pull the trigger on any of these without something new or better coming out a day later
What do you think of the new colors? Are you going to grab one or will you pass?
I dig it! I'll pass, just ordered the 40xx-v a few days ago on sale, excited for it! To customize it into a lil Dreamcast handheld. ^_^

@@sendoh873 I also have the silver but i couldn't resist getting a green one too
Have the transparent black but can't help myself and really want the transparent white and transparent red

Thank you for comparing it to the N64 green.

I already have the Retroid Pocket 2S Jungle Green and the RG35XXSP Green will be a perfect companion 💚

put a RAYQUAZA on it
@@CHICKENmcNUGGIESMydude That‘s exactly why I‘m gonna get one in green
Okay, Jack Skellington joke got me
It's about to be on Disney Channel every other day for a month. Figured I'd get a head start.
Thank you for the fast upload considering this launched just yesterday where I'm from. Thanks for focusing on comparing the membrane on the previous version vs the new one. Looks like they didn't change anything despite it wearing down quite quickly. Guess I'm sticking to my Blue one.
A little bit more silent is not good enough for me. 3 times more silent would be good enough so I finally buy one. Maybe rg40xx sp?
Just wait for the RG35XX SP+ in the future

This is my first retro handheld, order this green to.

Diddy reference in the end killed me. lol
Topical
I've done that same thing, forgetting to put the sd card back in and panicking that I messed something up when taking it apart
Glad you showed they still haven't fixed the button issues. Not gonna order now
Are the membranes different materials?
That anbernic case would be better if it included loops to put on your belt and different color.
the color reminds me of the clear green ps1 controller rather than the clear n-64 one
1:35 "Clamshells don't need cases."
Only if you love your Handhelds.
I was curious what version I had so I opened mine up. Mines a version 4, manufactured April 2024, but I don’t have any thermal paper. I bought my transparent black a couple weeks before the other colors were released.
I don’t think they were going for jungle green. That green is exactly the same shade of one of the ‘98 Toys R Us Gameboy Colors
Thank you Zu ❤️ Does it rattle? What about shoulder buttons?
It does rattle a bit.
@@retrohandhelds Same as the first release?
That's a really nice leather case. Is that official Anbernic or third party?
Official
Zu that speed up music was smooth!
My man Sony used some dark AI magic to give me a Bob Rossy theme.
@@retrohandhelds we all need a sony!
I love the 35xxsp 😍 thanks for all that info!
You bet!
Absolutely gorgeous handheld
rg35xxsp 2.0 seems good, might buy it on sale instead of the first variants
Should modify your pouch to attach it to your belt.
This is a great idea.
Could also replace the stitching with contrasting thread for a unique look.
That red one looks great

I’m so close to pulling the trigger on ordering all the new colors
Now do Retroid Pocket Mini!
I'll take mine in Red, Green, and Blue!
Gorgeous color
I wish they would make a solid red one like the flame red sp.
The green gives Pokémon Emerald vibes
Waiting for Anbernic to make an Android based clamshell handheld.
It's only a matter of time tbh
IRISH GREEN?
I LIKE IT!
That green is beautiful

Dangit ... just bought one of these YESTERDAY, apparently just before the new colors were released
Had to swirch to Knulli, muOS kept randomly deleting entire folders & corrupting micro sd cards when it does it
i switched to Knulli too and one the whole now its set up i actually love it, but im still having the issue where its deleting the shader folders im adding after a reboot!

GREAT REVIEW, ZU. WE ALL_LOVE_YOU!!!
I feel you man I'd like one to be the ds size with the joysticks and with the bigger size they might be able to add better hardware
Does the case have any exposed metal from the magnet on the inside portion of the pouch?
No, there's a little felt circle over that spot
Is there buzz sound while starting the game... ? I'm so annoyed I ordered the new one... they say h700 produces that annoying buzz sound... :(
I like this Anbernic the most! BUT! My heart skipped a beat when I saw the game at 2:11. I played it about 30 years ago, and it has come to my mind many times since then! Please, can you tell me what it's called!?
River City Ransom for the GBA
@@retrohandhelds Thank you so much! Good luck with growing your channel! :)
What theme is that on muos?! I love it!
RoyalMu. They've updated it with a couple different color combos now.
If I hear it’s improved from launch I’ll look for Black Friday sales on the Green. EDIT: Also, I should look into games that work well SP to SP or as wireless controllers with 1 connected to a TV.
well i got 2 of them now
the new colors are nice...the case though looks like an old lady cigarette holder.
Hi! Can you please tell me where did you get this case for the console? No, wait I found the link to the product in your description.
Thanks
Clicked on the bell for rp mini ❤
I want that case! Where do I get one?
I gotchu fam! rh-go.link/35XXSP-Pouch
@@pr0fes0rcha0s I think it's on anbernics official website 😊
Does this version have the postmaster update? Would love to playgGTA san Andreas on this.
Want solid red
colors
This guy gets it.
How can these companies STILL not get the jungle green color correct?! There are tons of Etsy case mods for various consoles, handhelds that have really vibrant, even neon sometimes, transparent plastics.
I honestly think this color looks way better than jungle green 😅

Those violate TOS.
Are you Anbernics neighbour ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really wish they had dark grey buttons
they got all transparent button colors in eytsy or w.e that weird site is called but they go for like 50 bucks for a full set xD
Crooked "X" button. REEEEEEEEEEEEE.
It has since been repaired!

Eye 👁 🧐 Candy 🍬
I'll wait for a sale
Well...shit.
In conclusion, it's still a poorly made product.
Impressions for what? It is the same thing as before. UA-camrs these days will do everything just for views. Pathetic
Thanks for watching!
It's not the same though? They buttons and d pad have been reworked? There was an additional isolation sheet for the battery as well?
