Anbernic has announced its next handheld, the RG476H.
Over the past year plus, Anbernic has been steadily releasing consoles. Throughout all of 2024, the company released at least one console per month. In 2025, things slowed down, but the company still managed to release multiple handhelds throughout the year. The RG Slide, RG34XXSP, RG477M, and the RG557 were all released this year alone.
Quick Video, Sleek Handheld
The train is not stopping there, however. It looks like Anbernic is gearing up to release yet another handheld, as shown in the video below.
While the video may be short and only offer a slight glimpse of the upcoming console and no other specs or formal announcements, we can try to deduce what we’re viewing.
It seems the base design of the Retroid Pocket 5 and Mini has become somewhat of a trend in recent months. The Odin 2 Portal, Odin 3, and now the RG476H all bear designs that highlight the black glass with matte cutouts for buttons with small system buttons nearby.
This console features stacked triggers, and the screen seems to be 4:3 following the same aspect ratio as most of Anbernic handhelds in the past. if anything, this new handheld looks to be a RG406H, but with a larger screen and added differences in design in order to distinguish itself as different from the rest of the pack.
RG476H Stacked Triggers
The base design of the handheld does, however, look to be the most premium offering Anbernic has offered. The RG477M and other M devices are premium by way of using metal casings, but the overall look of this handheld looks more premium and sleek in comparison to other common mainstays of the company like the RG35XX SP or even the newly released RG Slide.
Expectations…
The 6 in 476H would connote that the device is using a 6th “generation” chip as opposed to the 7th generation one found in the RG557 and RG477M. Although, using a 6th generation chip on a device that is primarily targeting 4:3 retro consoles isn’t a bad idea at all. There are stronger chips, surely, but the use cases for the Unisoc T820 still exists and venture far into the realms of GameCube and PS2 emulation.
In an odd twist of fate, one that may be entirely unintentional, this device will house the same aspect ratio and resolution but a larger screen size than the original Retroid Pocket Mini. Or, more aptly, what we believed to be the original RP Mini. If the 4.7 inch screen used in this device is the same as the one found in the 477M, it will be a 1280 x 960 resolution and at 4:3.
The only thing missing would be OLED. The glass screen design and build of the handheld do, however, take multiple cues from Retroid to the degree where this device may be Anbernic’s direct response to customers who were initially looking for a 4:3 960p handheld when purchasing the original Mini.
Consider me interested. The RG476H looks like it may be fine-tuned for the community as a response to a controversial decision one of their biggest competitors made. In that, it proves that competition benefits the end user. That is, if my assumptions are right, this handheld may be the one people were looking for when the Mini was first announced.

A escolha pelo t820 é um tiro no pé. Todos sabem que esse processador sofre em PS2. Se de fato se confirmar, é lamentável. Não tem chance de eu comprar.
Mthfckr! They CONTINUE to have just ONE thing keeping it from being perfect…
What’s the one thing? Not sure if there’s a 120hz 4:3 Oled in this size and the display of the Slide and 477m was noted as one of the best things about it. All they need to do is fix the coil/fan whine on that unit (hopefully with the slower chip/better heat disappation from not using metal, that won’t be an issue anymore).
AND add the better stacked triggers. Viola! Perfect for up to GC/PS2 handheld (or just about as perfect as Anbernic’s ever made)
Let’s hope they fix the issue with their devices being unable to play some of the world’s biggest Android games and let’s not forget that we have been asking them to fix the issue with the native controles not being recognised in gforce now the world’s largest and best streaming platform the software that anbernic provide is terrible i have both the 557 and the 477m they are both very good devices let down by the fact that anbernic will not address the issues with there os and the issue with the devices being rooted preventing most android games from working even yhe latest game dandy ace releases on Google play fails to work on both devices if only they would fix the issue the andriod side of gaming is being greatly let down and its like anbernic just don’t care and will just release another handheld with the same chipset and same os when are they finally going to listen to the community
I’m just going to wait for the RG477V.
I know some people aren’t excited about this device, but I know I am. It looks similar in design to the Retroid Pocket 2S, but with a much larger screen, which is something I’ve been wanting for awhile. I love the look of the RP2S, but 3.5 inches just doesn’t work for me. 4 inches is good enough, but after using the RP Flip2, which shows 4:3 content at about 4.5 inches, it’s hard to go any smaller. While the RG477m seems to be a great device, it’s more than I’m willing to spend for a secondary handheld, so I was hoping they would release a more budget friendly version. I know we don’t have a price yet, but I assume it will be close to what the RG556 and 406V cost, which works for me.
Don’t be surprised in a month or two when they announce the RG47xxH though. LOL
What do you called copy-cat of copy-cat?
