In the search for an EDC entertainment handheld, I finally settled with the Anbernic RG405M. I was happy with my Miyoo Mini+, the software support on it was the best in its class IMO. But when a chance to trade it for a RG405M came along, I took it and glad I did.
To sum it up, here’s a list of the things I like about it:
- 4 inch 4:3 touch screen
- Has an ample 128GB built in storage
- Stereo speakers with a headphone jack
- Hal analog sticks
- Aluminum shell
- Runs my media apps (Smart Aufiobook Player, PowerAmp, VLC)
- Plays all my favorite arcade games CPS2, CPS3, MAME with ease
While some things that would put me off considering the current retail price of $150
- It can play 3DS/PS2 games but it’s really not powerful enough to do it comfortably… Though it can Initial D Special Stage which is all yhe matters to me.
- D pad isn’t great for fighter games.
- You have to install Gamma OS to really appreciate the device.
The cheaper RG35XX, RG35XX+ and the Miyoo Mini+ are great (I tried them all), but if i had to do it all over I’d go straight to the a RG405M. It’s more expensive but you more value. Especially if you consume downloaded media.
