Comment on Upcoming ANBERNIC RG40XX Handheld “Leaks” | Retro Dodo
ktec@lemmy.zip 1 week agoHow can you ask if it offers value without specifying a price?
You make a valid point. Given that it uses the same chipset, I’d guess that it will be priced a bit higher than the RG35XXSP.
After using OnionOS, the only thing that matters to me is the OS.
Totally agree with you about OnionOS. That’s what made the Miyoo Mini (Plus) devices great. Given that the RG40XX is expected to use a Linux OS, there’s a better chance that we’ll have some great custom firmware. I’m hoping for ArkOS, although GarlicOS may also be a possibility.
I have a Retroid and Android gaming is clumsy.
I agree that Android is a difficult beast to tame, though it can be done.

I think the fundamental issue with Android that can’t be fixed is complete power down and full boot time.
With a custom Linux, instead of sleep where there is minor battery drain, the handheld can turn itself off completely for no battery drain. Cold boot time is like 10 seconds. It means the hand held has a battery charge whenever you want to play it and you don’t have to wait.
