Anbernic, the retro handheld powerhouse, seems to have another trick up its sleeve. Leaks point towards the imminent arrival of the Anbernic RG406H, a horizontal sibling to the popular RG406V, with whispers of PS2 emulation capabilities making the rounds.
RG406H: Flipping the Script (Literally):
Leaked images showcase the RG406H sporting a landscape orientation, a departure from the vertical design of the RG406V. This layout, reminiscent of the Anbernic RG Cube, offers a more traditional handheld gaming experience.
Familiar Specs with a Potential Power Boost:
Early information suggests the RG406H might share the core DNA of its vertical counterpart. This means we could see:
- Sharp Display: A 4-inch, 4:3 aspect ratio IPS display with a resolution of 720p for a crisp retro gaming experience.
- Android 13: The latest Android OS for access to a wide range of apps and emulators.
- Ample Memory & Storage: 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage should provide smooth performance and plenty of space for your game library.
- Long-Lasting Battery: A 5,500 mAh battery, potentially offering hours of gameplay on a single charge.
Unisoc T820: The PS2 Emulation Key?
The RG406H is rumored to be powered by the Unisoc T820 chipset, the same one found in the RG406V. While this chipset already delivers impressive performance, whispers suggest that Anbernic might have further optimized it for the RG406H, potentially unlocking the ability to emulate PlayStation 2 titles.
Release Date and Pricing:
While Anbernic remains tight-lipped, rumors point towards a November release for the RG406H. Pricing details are still under wraps but expect it to be competitive within Anbernic's lineup.
The Anbernic RG406H promises to be another exciting addition to the world of retro handhelds. Stay tuned for official announcements and further details in the coming weeks!
