RG 406H Retro Handheld Game Console with 4-inch IPS Screen RGB Lighting Handheld Retro Gaming Console with Android 13 System and 128G TF Card 5000mAh Battery White

The Anbernic RG 406H is the best console Anbernic has released. There are two elements to this review, one is the console itself, and the other is the “extra” items that were included or might be desirable.This is not a top-of-the-line android game console, but it is a very good one. It isn’t really pocketable, given the tall joysticks, but that minor annoyance is, in my view, offset by how good the sticks are. I also have an RG556 from Anbernic, and these are better sticks by far. I like both consoles, but this one is a better all-rounder -- though I do wish it was OLED (but that would make the price higher). It does have the same processing power as the 556 with a slightly more portable form factor.I chose the white version of this console and in my opinion it looks stunning. I don’t have many white consoles, but I think the way they designed this makes white a fantastic color choice. The bezels are not bothersome to me, and the controls all feel great -- especially the D-Pad which is almost as good as the joysticks. The shoulder buttons feel great, and the triggers provide more than enough control for my analog needs. I particularly enjoy racing games on this console.It comes with a number of pre-installed emulators, and for my use case I quickly deleted them and installed the more up-to-date emulators from my google play account and from Github. I also use my own games from the large collection of physical media I have on hand. All that said, it worked out of the box, and all the customization is not needed to enjoy great gameplay. The included launcher is fine, but I switched over to my favorite open source launchers.This console came with a screen protector that fits perfectly, and I appreciate having it from day one. It’s far easier to get a contaminant free screen protector application right when you remove the product rather than later when you have to clean accumulated dust and smudging (especially on a touch screen device). It also came with a basic USB-C to A cable for charging the device, which is great if this is your first console, or second, but not really needed when you have many USB-C to A cables around. Still, they have no way to know, and I’m glad it’s there. This particular console also came with an SD card painted in Kioxia colors which did not read “Kioxia” and, out of the box, had a LOST.DIR folder on it. Not a good sign. It did come in a plastic SD card carrier, which is always appreciated.Given the length of the joysticks I do recommend getting a case for this unit, there are several available that will fit (I ordered one to fit exactly, but I’ve been using another that’s close enough if I keep the front surface shipping foam that came with the console on it).All in all, I rate this as the best Anbernic Android retro game console they’ve made to date. I prefer it to the Cube, which is very similar (and also excellent), because of the improved joysticks and slightly stretched grips which I find more ergonomic. It’s not cheap, but I think it’s value for money.

Today I finally got my new toy. I can't wait to open it and try it out. First of all, I feel that it feels very comfortable. The operating sensitivity is better and more accurate than my previous toys. This 960×720 screen is clearer than before, and the battery life should up to 7 hours. I feel that the quality is very good, and I can play a variety of games. After playing more games, I will review the product in more depth.

The media could not be loaded. It's definitely a good choice for me.The RG-406 runs on Android, which means it supports a wide range of apps and games from the Google Play Store and other sources. The interface is smooth and intuitive, providing a user-friendly experience. The hardware is robust, with responsive controls and a vibrant screen that makes gaming visually enjoyable. It’s portable and lightweight, which is perfect for on-the-go gaming sessions.One of the standout features of this console is the ability to control both content and usage time for every app and game. As a parent, this feature is invaluable. I can ensure that my son only accesses age-appropriate games and apps while also setting time limits to balance gaming with other activities. The parental control settings are easy to configure and offer peace of mind for families.

Very easy to use, kiddos love it. Portable and easy to carry. Kids can use as tablet function with console capabilities as well to navigate the games.I tried myself and very user friendly, just like use Android tablet on console!

Amazing handheld, the 4:3 aspect ratio highlights GameCube and other consoles supporting that form factor. the battery life is a bit of a miss as it drains rather rapidly. it comes pre-setup so the only thing needed is signing into your Google account. i would say for the amount of games you get with it, it's really worth the price but there is room for improvement. The Hall Sensor analog sticks feel great but they don't functionally translate well when playing games. overall this is a great device for retro enthusiasts but I'd personally wait for deals.

Return product defective joystick and the front end is not in handheld when you press the button for games. Return the RG Cube no problems.
