Read a detailed review on RetroReady.

Why this handheld?

The RG40XX H runs on the Allwinner H700. You’ll notice it straight away: fast menus, quick loading times and stable performance. Everything up to and including PS1 runs smoothly, whilst PSP and lighter Dreamcast games are perfectly playable, especially with a few clever settings. The 4-inch IPS screen looks bigger than you’d expect, with bright colours and excellent sharpness. The horizontal layout fits surprisingly well in your hand.

Controls that inspire confidence

The D-pad is smooth and precise, ideal for classic platformers and RPGs. Opinions online vary on the diagonal controls, but in practice it just feels right. The clickable sticks (L3/R3) make it even more versatile. And if you want to play on the telly, there’s a mini-HDMI output.

Battery and storage

The 3300 mAh battery gives you 5 to 6 hours of playtime on a single charge. Thanks to the dual microSD slots, you can keep your system and library neatly separate. Expanding or swapping cards is quick and straightforward.
