Anbernic RG40XX H revealed in fresh colour as new display and battery details leak for upcoming retro gaming handheld

More details about what appears to be Anbernic's next gaming handheld have leaked online, again courtesy of a video posted on Bilibili. To recap, Anbernic was rumoured to have prepared the RG40XX as an RG Cube follow-up, which it released at the start of the month. Additionally, while the RG40XX resembled the RG Cube, it was expected to carry over the display from the older RG405M (curr. $189.99 on Amazon).

For context, the RG405M has a vertical display that Anbernic flips 90 degrees using software. Although this is fine in theory, a vertical display set landscape mode can result in juddery looking images in 2D games. Based on new rumours, Anbernic will actually equip its next 4-inch gaming handheld with a native landscape display. However, Anbernic release not the device as the RG40XX.

Instead, a picture showing the device's back panel confirms that the device will arrive as the RG40XX H. Evidently, Anbernic has equipped the RG40XX H with a 3,200 mAh battery too, along with stacked shoulder buttons. While a release date remains unknown for now, the RG40XX H is also anticipated to feature an Allwinner H700 chipset just like its RG35XX counterparts.
