Anbernic confirms release date, specs and pricing for new RG406V retro gaming handheld

Anbernic appears set to maintain its monthly gaming handheld release schedule for at least another month. Incidentally, it may well introduce a refresh of the RG35XX SP (curr. $89.99 on Amazon) before October rolls around, too.

However, its principal September release will be the RG406V. To recap, Anbernic first showcased the RG406V last week. Nonetheless, it has now confirmed launch pricing, a release date and all key hardware specifications. As expected, the RG406V will ship with hardware borrowed from the RG Cube and RG556:

• Display: 4-inch IPS, multitouch, 960 x 720-pixel resolution
• SoC: Unisoc T820, 6 nm process, ARM Mali-G57 GPU (4x cores, 850 MHz clock speed)
• RAM: 8 GB LPDDR4X
• Storage: 128 GB UFS 2.2
• Battery: 5,500 mAh

Additionally, the RG406V will run Android 13 out of the box, just like theRG CubeandRG556. Added to that, the device features Hall effect joysticks surrounded by RGB lighting and six-axis gyroscope controls. Moreover, the RG406V will keep its components using what Anbernic describes as a 'high-speed fan' accompanied by a small heat pipe.

Anbernic will begin selling the RG406V on September 19 at 10:00 UTC. Initially, the device will be available in Black Transparent, Grey, and Off-White colour options for $154.99 before shipping. While the colour options will remain unchanged post-launch, the RG406V will rise to $164.99 after September 22.
