In short

RG 406H is a horizontal 4-inch 960×720 IPS Android 13 handheld: Unisoc T820, 5000mAh / 7 hours (OEM), 265g. Buy it for that official page. Skip it if you want RG 406V’s vertical 5500mAh / 289g sheet.

Who it is for

  • Players who want a first-party horizontal 4-inch 4:3 IPS Android handheld with Unisoc T820 printed on anbernic.com.
  • Shoppers comparing 265g / 5000mAh / 7-hour OEM claim against RG 406V’s vertical 5500mAh / 289g sheet.
  • People who will accept unpublished nits, TDP, and Hz.

Who should skip it

  • Anyone who wants Windows or SteamOS. The page prints Android 13.
  • Buyers of RG 406V (`/handhelds/anbernic-rg-406v/`) — vertical 4-inch, 5500mAh / 8 hours, 289g.
  • People who need a published nits or TDP number.

Key differentiators

  • 4-inch IPS, OCA full lamination, multi-touch, 960×720.
  • Unisoc T820 (6nm) + Mali-G57 850MHz; Android 13; 8GB LPDDR4X; 128G UFS2.2.
  • 5000mAh polymer lithium; OEM 7-hour battery-life claim; 5V/2A (~3 hours to full).
  • 265g; 17.4 × 8.1 × 1.79 cm; Hall joystick + hall trigger; six-axis gyro.

Caveats

  • 7 hours is ANBERNIC’s published battery-life line, not a Valve-style gameplay curve.
  • Nits, TDP, HDR, and refresh Hz are unpublished.
  • Same T820 / 960×720 silicon as RG 406V does not mean the same battery or chassis.
  • $149.99 is Sold out on every variant we re-checked (accessed 2026-09-19).
  • GadgetShowdown has not lab-tested RG 406H.
