Hey Fam! 👋
Alright, your boy P’Nick is back with another handheld gem to show you—and this one’s a beauty! Meet the Anbernic RG40XXV, a retro gaming console that combines modern flair (hello RGB joystick!) with a serious blast from the past. Whether you’re trying to replay childhood classics or show your little cousin the magic of the Game Boy era, this pocket powerhouse is ready to rock.
🧠 What’s the RG40XXV All About?
The Anbernic RG40XXV is a 4-inch handheld game console loaded with up to 10,000 retro games, RGB-lit joystick (yeah, it glows ✨), and support for HDMI-out, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and even wireless controllers. If the BatleXP G350 was your nostalgic buddy, the RG40XXV is its cool, flashy older cousin that also knows how to stream video and play music.
🕹️ Let’s Talk Specs (Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything)
Screen: 4.0-inch IPS full-lamination display (640x480) – beautiful color, sharp detail, and no weird viewing angles
CPU: H700 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.5GHz – fast enough for PSP, Dreamcast, and even some N64 games
GPU: Dual-core G31 MP2 – this handles graphics so games run smooth and look good
RAM: 1GB LPDDR4 – Now I know 1GB doesn’t sound like a lot, but hear me out: this runs on a custom Linux OS, which is like Microsoft Windows but waaaay more customizable and lightweight. For retro gaming, this is more than enough.

64GB only – ~5,000 games
64GB + 128GB microSD – ~8,000 games
64GB + 256GB microSD – ~10,000 games
