Anbernic RG406V: A Modern Game Boy on Steroids
Anbernic may not be a household name, but the company offers a diverse range of gaming handhelds in various shapes and sizes. One standout example is the RG406V, a device that can be likened to a Game Boy on steroids. And the best part? It’s currently off for Black Friday.
Unlike some of Anbernic’s more retro-focused handhelds, the RG406V runs on Android, providing a level of versatility that may surprise you. Equipped with the Unisoc T820 processor and 8GB of RAM, this device allows you to enjoy a wide selection of Android games, as well as classic retro titles.

In addition to its striking resemblance to a Game Boy, the RG406V features a 4-inch IPS display and a 5,500mAh battery that offers up to eight hours of gameplay. The device boasts a full set of controls, including dual joysticks, a traditional D-pad, and ABXY buttons.
Concerns about overheating during gameplay are addressed by the RG406V through its built-in fan and “automatic heat dissipation” system. While this may not be a common issue for most users, it provides peace of mind, especially when playing for extended periods.
Storage-wise, the RG406V comes with 128GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for additional expansion. While apps and games cannot be installed directly on the microSD card, it serves as a convenient solution for accessing and storing your retro gaming library.
