    What I really appreciate about this review is that you don’t ignore the “bigger” retro gaming UA-camrs, openly reference their videos and instead add you pent point of view to them

    Awesome first look at what appears to be, by all accounts I've seen so far, an amazing device. I really dig the looks of this unit and I'm happy they didn't adopt the DMG-style asymmetry that so many other verticals, including Anbernic's own RG40XX-V, on the market do.
    One benefit of being late to the party is that I don't have to wait for Part2. It's already up. I guess I'll watch your full review next.

    Awesome review. I have a question however, I had the 405V & ended up returning it because the display had this low quality “holographicky” screen at certain viewing angles. I’m not sure how to explain what I mean. I was wondering if the new 406V has that same issue or if they upgraded it to a nice hd screen now. Nobody seems to mention the differences.

    I'm so disappointed with these T820 chipset Anbernic devices. Despite having display out through USB C, they don't have the power necessary to run AR glasses like Xreal, Rokid. You need a hub and external power which defeats the purpose while traveling.

    The Rg406v looks nice and all but its not worth it for me. I decided to stop buying this cheap consoles... In the next year (2025) they will release the Rg407V and the next year to that they will release the Rg408V and so on (isn't that the trend?)... Maybe you wont buy every itteration of them, but, in the long run you'll end up spending a lot more money just by upgrading to the next new model, relative to just buying a high end performance console, like the Steam Deck or an Odin 🤷 By having an Odin or a Deck basically every emulation problem is solved! Maybe some of you will argue about portability, pricing and what not, but in the long run, the manufacturers know this and hook you up with this pocket consoles, and they get you to spend a lot more money than just buying a high performance console. When it comes to the Anbernic or Retroid Pocket, manufacturers make very little, subtle and minimum tweaks to it, just the right amount of changes for you to re-buy the same damn console you bought the year before but this time with extra lights and whistles, until a new one comes next year and so on...... I had the Rg353V, then I had a Retroid Pocket and then replaced it for the Rg405v expecting to put an end once and for all to the spiral spending in emulation consoles... But here we go again, and they released a newer console, the rg406v, which can emulate more gamecube, wii and Ps2 games than before (but not all of them apparently hmm) and etc etc.. So I recently decided to sell the Rg405v and replace it for the Ayn Odin 2 Pro ($390), which can run almost anything up to N.Switch.

    • @ToddTronics

      @@AngryMiddleAgedMan that’s a valid take I won’t argue here. However an important thing to remember is this doesn’t cost anymore than than the 405v did at launch so a positive take is that if someone is new to the market in one years time you get a massively better product for the same price , and that’s commendable. I have a steam deck and I use the small handheld like this to play quick run games when I’m on the go, but personally I don’t think the 405v was never a great value for for the money but this one is a contender to give people a great value for its price
