A Pretty Good Vertical Handheld.. This Week (Anbernic RG40XX V Review)

[@Gennoslo]

The best part about your reviews is that you have actual standard issue manhands. The handhelds actually look the right size. I swear everyone else who reviews these things has SNL tiny hands.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

LOL

[@Tacquito]

​@@JoeysRetroHandhelds What they don't know can't hurt them LOL 😅

[@jasondonnelly150]

That’s a great point. I’d actually love it if the reviewer lists his hand size in the review!

[@Gennoslo]

Agreed. Every video should have the reviewer hold a Duke controller for comparison. ​@@jasondonnelly150

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

I totally agree with this not being very exciting but more choice is always good for the end consumer. There is something here for everybody. You could have a clamshell, you can have a big vertical, a small vertical, a big horizontal, a small horizontal or even a tiny little horizontal. In the end I think it’s a really good thing.

5:37 We do need the stick and we need it behaving like a D-pad because this handheld run a lot of arcade games, so an arcade like stick is the best option.

[@buenogoodlive]

You earned so much respect for the comment on the d-pad. I really feel like most reviewers were just looking for something positive or unique to say about this device to sell it.

[@zptaco]

Thank you for saving time at the beginning. Still went ahead and watched the rest of the video to see your take

[@christea-xv]

120% agree, the stick kills the overall aesthetic. The all white is so clean but that damn stick.

[@bakedchickpea1416]

Having tendinitis in my thumbs, the stick is much appreciated. Even if for everything PS1 and below. I prefer horizontal handhelds but this one just looks/feels better than the 40xxH. One stick does make awkward for ports…

[@CP-to5nx]

I had both the 40xx v and the h and returned foe the rgb20sx. Such a great device and the screen is amazing. Great video as always, Joey!

[@fmulleady]

What a great review. Very good insights.

[@mr.gamingz]

I would love to have this device with a six button layout in front, n64 would be a dream on it

[@tonyrosario1940]

Joey always keeping it real with these reviews, appreciate that! 🍻🤘🏼

[@omega5134]

i recently bought a miyoo mini + and im in love with the device, its my very first emulation only device but screen felt a little bit small, and seeing the release of this one made me think, is it worth upgrading from my miyoo when it gets a little bit cheaper ??? i really like onion OS but in almost every game i play i say "damm if the screen was a liiiiitle bigger..."

[@cs9927]

It looked like Analogue Pocket with analog stick.

[@PanRhei]

Haha I assumed it was some new dpad since it was getting so much attention. Thanks for not BSing us.

[@codered7070]

I respect the tl;dr in the beginning. Still watched the whole video though!

[@NickTaylor-Phantom-Works2]

😂😂😂 I read the title as "this weeks anbernic!!" Let's be honest though - why _wouldn't_ I?!

[@Tacquito]

Well its very blue... Sonic is calling your name on it Joey......

[@minordelayz]

Where's the 6 button Saturn layout Anbernic! Street Fighter fans would be all over it.

[@fishmeister2625]

Can't beat the 35xx SP. I've just bought a second one for no other reason than to have a spare in case something happens to my other one 😂

[@Zedisdeadbaby666]

Haha. So funny!

[@TheFTPchannel]

You rock joey

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

You rock!

[@UkeofCarl]

When will the do a diagonal? It beggars belief.

[@joshz5164]

I received mine a few days ago I really like the look of 40xxv but the plastic is very noisy and seems lighter and lower quality compared to the 35xxp. I find myself playing the 35xxp and leaving the 40xxv in the drawer

[@monMNL]

after watching your review I decided to buy one. Thanks! Just curios, are there any available custom firmware that is available with RG40XX? Will the one from 35XX works with this? Thanks and keep it up!

[@soniczero532]

I like the 353vs out of all these. Two stucks android semi pocketable.

[@petervladyevich8535]

Thanks for the video Joey. I don't know if people will be interested in this vertical version. Because there is no room for fingers. I much prefer the horizontal version. Have a great day Joey. SYS.

[@dgevert]

I used to be so sure they'd also eventually release an H700 device with the 4" 1:1 screen from the Cube/RGB30. Now I'm not so confident. I wonder what they'd call it. The RG40xx Squared?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

They are, that's next, already confirmed!

[@themadnes5413]

RG40XX Cube/C maybe?! :)

[@wanderingmako]

Swapping out the stick with a Switch joystick. Think this will be my device for a long while

[@778zr]

How cool would it be if Albernic & Retroid started using Glow in the dark plastic

[@Kusanagi13]

I definitely agree Witt you , it would have been better off without the analogue stick.

[@legendsteph7128]

Hey can I ask you smth, does the 40xxv has mario, zelda, pokemon donkey kong? If it doesn't, what other great games doesn't it have?

[@Patrick-bn5rp]

I think they should have used a slider instead of a stick. Would have been a lot more low profile.

[@CellPhish]

Interesting. I accidentally push the shoulders all the time. Not nearly as bad as the 405V but definitely not good like the 353V

[@amarramoul4027]

Anbernic always find away to fuck up their devices look

[@leelee7334]

A30 has the best d-pad

[@nikolashatzipolitis7100]

i have the rg40xx v and i'm experience sound "cracks" while playing a game, both on stock os and gnulli, same with the rg40xx h , does someone else have the same issue?

[@catriamflockentanz]

3:10 Nah. I don't need alcohol poisoning in my life now.

[@michaelbenny659]

Bring on the SP with a 4 inch screen

[@euariaeu8873]

this will be my main retro other 3ds ps2 emulation i will give it to my Aya neo flipds

[@Agumon5]

You can tell Joey is so over these samey handhelds.

[@mojomojo2091]

The stick fix is a stock OS update?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

No, it's not available on stock at all.

[@modo203]

I'm all for retro and shit, but 640 screen resolution is insulting to your customers. Let's just face it.

[@lee99bay]

❤

[@mattdavis9601]

Thanks for saving me ten minutes. I can use this time to watch a bunch of rich people pregame the Presidential Debate on TV instead... * Watches ten seconds of soul crushing pre-debate analysis * I'm back, Mortimer! Solid review, as usual. I like that you called out the d-pad for what it is, good but not exactly the greatest d-pad ever in the history of gaming. Interestingly; Zu from another channel had issues with his triggers that he had to fix with copious amounts of 3M strips. I'm kind of surprised that you didn't. I guess you finally got a good review sample! The moral of the story is to get things from GoGameGeek rather than direct from Anbernic. I've still got 15 minutes before the debate. Is it possible to overclock my wall clock?

[@davidsabo405]

They made too many and now i just don't care.

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

That blue looks way off.

[@TheBigb1973]

They need to chill with all these lol
