It seems that the Android console market is in vogue again, because in just a few weeks we have seen a large number of new releases based on this operating system. Sometimes these are consoles that take advantage of chips previously used in mobile phones, like the recently introduced AYN Odin 2 Portal; but the model presented this week by Anbernic goes in another direction.
The new Anbernic RG406H is based on the Unisoc T820 processor, which was already used previously in other consoles of the brand; However, the company seems to prefer it over a mobile processor and believes it can give Better results with the right softwarethanks to its maximum frequency of 2.7 Ghz. Additionally, it brings benefits such as 5G connectivity to download and play online anywhere, in addition to allowing you to play in the cloud.
To demonstrate the power of this console, Anbernic has already shown videos of the RG406H which show its performance with games of all kinds; and as usual in this type of product, emulation is of great importance. Love it or hate it, emulation is one of the aspects that portable console buyers focus on most, wanting to relive classic games anywhere.
Anbernic is well aware of the preferences of its customer base, showing games from consoles like the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii, running smoothly. However, that doesn’t mean that this console is only good for that, and the fact that it runs Android 13 helps a lot in expanding the catalog of games available.

The Anbernic RG406H has a horizontal design, with the controls located on either side of the 4 inch screen; So it’s not a very large console, but that should make it more portable. Anbernic has improved some aspects of ergonomics, such as new triggers, and relies on Hall effect levers to avoid problems with continued use.
Continuing with the screen, it is based on an IPS technology panel which should offer perfect viewing angles, and Its 4:3 ratio is specially designed for “retro” games Designed for classic tube TVs. This way the image will not need to be “stretched” and we will not find “black bars” on the sides.

As usual, Anbernic uses its own layer based on Android 13, which lets you do things like send the video to a TV and play with a connected controller for convenience. Anbernic has not yet confirmed the price of the RG406H, but judging by its previous models, it should be between 120 and 200 dollars, which are the prices of the different versions of the Anbernic RG Cube, which uses the same processor .
