Why the RG406H?

If you’re looking for next-gen performance in a compact form factor, you’ve come to the right place. The octa-core T820, 8 GB s of RAM and 128 GB s of UFS 2.2 make the system fast and responsive. The 4-inch 960×720 IPS screen looks sharp, active cooling keeps things cool during longer sessions, and everything just feels smooth. RGB lighting and large Hall-effect joysticks add that little bit extra to the experience.

If you wish, you can connect the RG406H to an external display via 1080p DisplayPort and easily expand the storage capacity to 2 TB using a microSD card.
