I’ve become a Anbernic collector now. I absolutely love the 2 SD slot set up. Keep all my saves & roms on SD2. CFW on SD1. Simply swap Second card when I want to play different console
I’m a big fan of the H700 chipset. There is not much out there that competes with it in terms of price/performance, power efficiency and software compatibility. A lot of reviewers talk about the fact that Anbernic uses it in a bunch of devices in a negative way and I don’t get it. The chip plays everything you could possibly ask for at sub -$100, even sub $50 in some cases. I feel like a lot of reviewers are burnt out on these devices and are just looking for things to criticize. Truth is these devices are amazing and we are all spoiled. I remember just a few years ago, if you wanted a retro handheld, you had to build it with your own sbc and these custom kits that got expensive quick. And they didn’t perform nearly as well as these devices do. The buttons were crap, the software was crap. It took over a minute to boot and I often had to remap my controls. It neatly project but wasn’t fun to play with. Sorry for my rant, Adin this is not directed at you. Your opinions are always well balanced and I value your candidness and self awareness when they are not. Keep up the great work. 😊
Back when the Miyoo Mini first launched I wasn't interested as I don't much care for vertical handhelds so I avoided it. Then Ambernic started releasing a new handheld every other week and that put me off emulation handhelds all together. I modded my 3ds's and DSi's and enjoyed the heck out of them as I was playing primarily DS and 3DS games. Then I started looking at Funny Playing's FPGBC and picked that up and haven't put it down since I got it. So great review and it is a beautiful device but I think I'm going to stick with the devices i have for now but you do make it tempting.
Hey man. I go back to the Funny playing GBC everytime I buy another cartridge. I was going to get a flashcart but I have all the emulators for that, it's a nice feeling to go back to carts once in a while.
LITNXT is a stupid name but I can attest they have good thing going on there, a good example is the A30 - they ship it with Spruce OS instead of the stock OS. They don't need to, but they do because they are a good company.
"For goodness sake, it's a huge bulge!" UA-cam video of the year, just for that! Please tell me you're going to make channel merch with the slogan "Crotch Time!" - which you should definitely trademark! In all seriousness, this was a really great review. Touched on all the relevant points, fair and balanced. Shake test? Genius. I really enjoyed your video and am glad the algorithm showed me your channel! Have a wonderful day!
Ordered the RG35XX SP, while waiting for it, the RG40XX H comes out. Ordered the H, while waiting for that, the RG40XX V comes out. Ordered the V, then another model comes out. Anbernic direct ships within 2 days or less. Litnxt takes long to ship an order.
"For goodness sake that's a huge bulge!" 😂 In all seriousness though, I love everything about the RG40XX V except for that oddly placed and superfluous analog stick that looks like there's a mushroom growing out of the lower half of your Game Boy like some kind of RGB equipped fungal infection. I could understand having two analog sticks for DualShock PS1 games and N64 where you need a second analog stick to act as the C buttons, but the only purpose I could see for a single analog stick is Dreamcast and I feel like it would have been so much more aesthetically pleasing without it. If Anbernic ever rereleases the RG40XX V without the analog stick I'd absolutely buy one, but until then I'll stick with the RG35XX Plus... and RG35XX H, and RG40XX H. I have too many of these things already lol
Got one in transparent black. Dropped it down a flight of steps (hardwood) and the screen does not have a scratch on it. Just a nick on the finish on the top left corner. It's awesome for GBA games. This is a great device. Edit: UI is trash.
A few more revisions and maybe they'll finally make one with no caveats. Good screen, good computing power, good controls, good software. OTOH, since the controls are still lacking and the screen and performance are still mediocre, I've been looking at phones as an alternative... can get one on par with a Retroid Pocket 4 for about $90 where I'm at, brand new, and it just needs a controller. So that's tempting.
Hey man. The screen on this is great. The only small gripe is the software and minUI cleans it up nicely, but, like you say the caveat is that you lose LED functionality
@@adinwalls It's a nice screen... but instead of 480p LCD, it's even nicer having a 1080p OLED touchscreen and some shaders, and a stylus for DS / 3DS games.
Not having OTA updates is insane at this point. That's my biggest complaint, by far! By the time I got my 40XXV a few weeks back, they already had an update for it. I LOVE the schedule, but the update process is absolutely miserable and I refuse to do it, despite liking the software. 💚
@adinwalls Well, and then there's the fact that I KNOW how to do it, I'm just tired of doing it to 5, 6, 7, etc.. of my devices every other week. Many people buying these don't even know what a ROM is or how to flash firmware. I've had many reach out to me about being intimidated about dealing with the software, or even just RetroArch, and I'm sure you have too. Point is, they've missed the point. They target an audience and then miss.
Hey Peter. If you're willing to wait I think the end of the year will be a good time to shop. Lots of sales. If you like vertical devices, the RG406V is going to be excellent.
@adinwalls Thanks Adin, that's a great tip. Regarding the RG406 V I already have the RG405 V. I was thinking more about the RG40XX V. In any case your tip is precious to me. Thanks Adin, see you in the next video.
I returned both the RG40xx v and h for the Powkiddy 20sx and have never looked back. Aside from the better dpad on the 40xxv the 20sx is a much better device than these in my humble opinion. The screen is just so crisp and clear compared to both of those Ambermic devices.
I’ll have some of what Anbernic are smoking. But I don’t rate their handhelds. After receiving an RG Cube from Mechdiy with light bleed issues, I wouldn’t give either company any money again.
@@adinwalls UPDATE : Just checked the membrane, I swapped the membrane between face button and Dpad, and now it works great! I guess they accidently swapped.
I don’t know why all you handheld guys shill for that Littnxt company, I ordered a rg353v from them cost more then anbernic, took two weeks for it to even ship had to contact them, customer service was good but when I finally got my device it’s just either a lemon or fake or they are ones anbernic fucked up on cuz this thing is buggy as hell takes 4 - 5 tries to boot, tried arkos same thing won’t read tf2 in Linux mode and the screen wasn’t flush wih the bezel and light was peering through, ordered one from anbernic, took 5 days was 20 bucks cheaper and the divice works flawlessly, I wouldn’t touch Littnxt wih a thousand foot pole fuck that company.
@@adinwallsNot sure how anyone hears "Footy-xx"...people like him just love to hate for no apparent reason. You sound perfectly fine and normal! One of my go-to UA-camr for reviews
Not true at all. Lots of great reviews. And let's say Adin is the only one with a good review. So what? He's not allowed to like it because others don't? What?
Every single review that I seen of it so far, have given it a good review. Yep, it has some minor niggles here and there, but then again so has every retro handheld that's ever been released. Most have rounded up saying that it's an excellent handheld, for it's price. I also bet that most of those reviewers would likely rate it in their top 3 retro handhelds that have been released so far this year.

The best video about RG40XXV until now. I can assure that for sure after watching 50 videos. +1 sub
Wow thank you
I recently received mine. I genuinely like it. I find myself reaching for it more than my rg35xxsp.
Yes I think Anbernic did exceptionally well here
Fantastic review, man! - Stubbs
Hey thanks man. Appreciate that.
0:05 seeing all of thoes handhelds together is straight eye candy 🤩
Hehe. Yes. I think having that in the thumbnail definitely worked some UA-cam magic for me hehe

Cool!
How many days did litnxt take to ship out your order?
@toycoma98 oh I would have to check. Usually about 4-5 days

@@adinwalls It is $10 YunExpress to Guam. How much is it to your country?
@@toycoma98litnxt is expensive compared with other website like aliexpress…
@toycoma98 they only do DHL and it's $40

Many PS1 games benefit greatly from remapping controls to include that second analog stick. 2 sticks or BUST! :D
Hehe. Ya man. I don't mind the joystick situation at all.
Love the Goodboy Galaxy footage, it's currently my favorite game to play on my handhelds
Such a good game!

The new updates are much easier. Just flashing an image. BUT you need to back up your ROMs and bios which I think alot of people may not realise.
@@adinwalls It's an annoying extra set of steps that's unnecessary. I stopped doing it after the method changed the 3rd time.. 😅
Haha fair point. It is kinda rediculous that a company selling to the public doesn't have a preffesionalnway of updating the software.

im looking forward to the trimui brick whenever that comes it looks interesting to me
Yes it looks very nice.
That intro is god tier ngl
Ah thanks man.
Can't wait for the RP mini. Might be my go too 4:3 hand-held. AYN ODIN 2 MINI is my current 16:9 retro/shmup device
Yes the mini will be cool. I'm curious if it will be too mini for me.
@@adinwalls luckily for me, I'm near sighted, loll
Hehe okay. I'm far sighted. But my glasses are pretty good hehe
Now DE10 nano clones are coming out cheap we will see some decent FPGA handhelds at great prices. This will be a game changer for handhelds.
Great review!
Thank you
Thanks for your video Adin. I think I'll buy one but since Anbernic is constantly offering new and better models, I'll wait a bit.
Hey Peter. If you're willing to wait I think the end of the year will be a good time to shop. Lots of sales. If you like vertical devices, the RG406V is going to be excellent.

@petervladyevich8535 ah I see yes.
Hectic Chamfer is the name of my new punk band
Seriously?! awesome
@@adinwalls lol no mate it was just a silly lil' jokey joke
Haha. Right. Was fun either way. It definitely sounds like a nineties band.
I returned both the RG40xx v and h for the Powkiddy 20sx and have never looked back. Aside from the better dpad on the 40xxv the 20sx is a much better device than these in my humble opinion. The screen is just so crisp and clear compared to both of those Ambermic devices.
This is a very fair point! I like the SX too
Great video! How common is the that one can just continue playing where one left off in a game?
Not alot of devices have autoresume of that's what you're asking
They don't include ROMs anymore and the battery is 3.200mAh, not 3.000.
I’ll have some of what Anbernic are smoking. But I don’t rate their handhelds. After receiving an RG Cube from Mechdiy with light bleed issues, I wouldn’t give either company any money again.
There's an update that fixes the snapping to cardinals, it's expected next month
From Anbernic or are you referring to the Gamma Core?
@@adinwalls the video I saw referenced the MuOS and it's fix for the thumbstick, does gamma core fix this too?
@mbjac hey man. Well Gamma Core is still in its infancy. Cool to hear muOS are working on that.
It's weird, mine also didn't pass Contra test. My rg35xx plus's dpad feels much better than 40xxV.
Yes. Bthink the Phawx tested his as being really good. Maybe we should open ours up and see if the membrane is misaligned.
@@adinwalls Good idea! will try to check it soon. Thanks for the advice!
@@adinwalls UPDATE : Just checked the membrane, I swapped the membrane between face button and Dpad, and now it works great! I guess they accidently swapped.
@PuinginMain oh gosh! I'm gonna check mine too.
You might want to try and correct the bit where you say the cash prize for the sponsor is $15,000, when it's actually $1,500
Good grief I never noticed this after watching multiple times! Thank you!
@@adinwalls that's alright! Loved the video 👌
Does anyone know if there are plans to add WIFI functionality to minUI?
I don't think so
Only thing missing, 2nd analog...
Nah.. who needs it!! :-D
@@suhtangwong I'd rather have it without any analogs, much cleaner
Does it have a sleep/resume feature like the steamdeck?
It has a pret5 good sleep mode. But not the same as the Steamdeck.
Wish the 40xxV had the screen of the 406V
Probably going to buy one in white on 11.11 AliExpress sale day anyways. Beautiful device
The screen is pretty damn good
Is that a handheld in your pocket or….
Haha

How many devices have you ordered from LITNXT. Also, I only know of one other UA-camr who supports them.

Yes they seem to only have the expensive one in stock. But it's their custom Onion OS setup which has a few tweaks.
