Anbernic RG406V

Want to buy RG406V?

The RG406V is a powerful vertical Android handheld that switches effortlessly between retro, modern Android games and cloud gaming. The 4-inch IPS touchscreen is razor-sharp and thanks to the fast hardware, everything feels instant and fluid. Compact enough for travelling, it's ideal on the couch.
Perhaps the most comfortable vertical handheld you can find, it really is a big-boy and thus highly recommended if, like me, you have big hands.

Why this handheld?

If you're looking for one device that can do everything without fuss, this is it. Android 13,8GB of RAM and a modern octa-core chip ensure the RG406V boots quickly, navigates smoothly and runs games tightly. The 960×720 screen in 4:3 gives retro titles just the right look, while touch works perfectly for Android apps. And of course, you can also stream via your favourite services.
