More of the same, except for the PC ports… [Anbernic RG40XX H Review]

Anbernic's naming scheme goes like this: RG - Meaning Retro Gaming 2 digits referring to screen size 1-2 digits referring to the chip they're using. Letter referring to form factor or material of the shell. Letter referring to Android/Linux builds So, RG353PS 35 means 3.5 inch screen 3 is their 3rd chip they've used for their RGs P refers to plastic shell S refers to linux only version The RG40XXH 40 refers to 4.0 screen compared to the 3.5 inch screen in the 35XX XX they just chose originally because they were not planning on using the 35XX's original chip on anything else, but then they decided to re-use the naming of the XX for this latest line of H700 chips. It's also why the RG28XX has the same performance as the other XX models

You got that wrong. This is not an evolution device. It's the same XX Family. The number just refers to the screen. 35XX - 3.5' 28XX - 2,8' 40XX - 4,0'. So this isn't the "next step" for anbernic. It's just another option from the XX family with a bigger screen.

I was expecting him to yell Ya Hungry! during that ad read.

The number in the model name is a reference to the screen size. 40 = 4.0 inches. This has been a rule for all their units so far. Not defending them, just stating the facts. Give it 3 weeks and you'll see another form factor anyway lol

Not gonna lie, I'm gonna have nightmares of your ASMR factor commercial...

man, that rg*35* xx has a ... 3.5 inch screen... and that rg40xx has a ... 4.0 inch screen. Pretty reasonable naming convention really lol. Gonna.. let you guys take a stab what size screen an RG556 has lol.

Nope, that asmr was like nails on a chalkboard 😅

So basically they saw the TSP growing in popularity with new amazing cfw and said we need to cash in on this.

You had me so prepared for the usual YAHUNGRY during that ad, the anticipation was killing me

I kept expecting a jump scare during the ad....

Isn't 40xx meaning for 4 inch while 35xx meaning 3.5 inch like the 28xx means 2.8 inch.

Bob throwing us for a loop this week

Anbernic, i'm pretty sure your company is not gonna go bankrupt if you spend more than a day without releasing a "new" rehash of the same product

I did get a tiny bit sleepy during the ASMR ad. Very relaxing.

Anbernic has a long, long history of using the first two digits as the screen size (40 is 4 in screen, 35 is 3.5 in screen), whereas the last part defines the generation, so all XX devices would be of the same gen to them. (351 was a faster gen than 350, for example.) It only became a tiny bit weird, because they put a better chip into the 35xx plus. But "XX" in general is just their low-end tier of devices.

That Factor ad was just Bob yelling in size 3 font -prove me wrong

Adding to the long list of comments saying that "40" refers to the 4.0 inch screen size and not any sort of different class of handheld. It's a really intuitive naming convention.

A million people are gonna comment this but yeah it's called the RG40XX cause the numbers stand for the diagonal screen size. The different RG35XX devices all have a 3.5" screen, the RG28XX has a 2.8" screen, and yeah this one has a 4.0" screen.

One thing worth mentioning about the sticks is that (on the 35xxh that i own and pretty sure is the same on the 40xxh) work as a dpad, only in 8 directions which sucks and is the first thing anbernic should fix when they work on a device with sticks

The number, you know, the one in the name of the product. It refers to the size of the screen. The RG28xx has a 2.8in screen, RG35xx is 3.5in, and yep the RG40xx is 4.0in.
