Anbernic has been rolling out consoles rapidly in 2024, and now they’ve introduced yet another one: the Anbernic RG406V. What sets this model apart is its UNISOC T620 chip, a processor previously only seen in tablets.
Anbernic RG406V Retro Console Overview
The UNISOC T620 is an upgraded version of the T616, featuring enhanced clock speeds in its ARM Cortex-A75 cores and GPU. This should provide a noticeable performance boost, especially when running games, allowing it to handle titles up to the PlayStation 2 era. The RG406V, which sports a 4-inch vertical screen, comes with Android 13, giving users full access to the Google Play Store for downloading apps, games, and emulators.
Packed with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of fast UFS storage, the RG406V also supports 1080p video output via its USB-C port, so you can easily connect it to a TV for a big-screen experience.
