Why this handheld

The RG40XX H runs on the Allwinner H700. You notice this immediately: fast menus, smooth load times and stable performance. Everything up to PS1 runs smoothly, PSP and light Dreamcast are fine, especially with some clever settings. The 4-inch IPS screen looks bigger than you expect, with bright colours and fine sharpness. The horizontal layout sits surprisingly well in the hand.

Controls that give confidence

The D-pad is smooth and precise, ideal for classic platformers and RPGs. There are different opinions about diagonals online, but in practice it just feels right. The clickable sticks (L3/R3) make it extra versatile. And if you want to play on TV, there's mini-HDMI out.

Battery and storage

The 3300 mAh battery easily gives you 5 to 6 hours of playing time on a single charge. Thanks to dual microSD slots, you keep your system and library neatly separated. Expanding or switching is quick and convenient.
