How it compares

The RG405M is an Android 12 handheld with an aluminium alloy body, and its 4-inch 640 x 480 IPS touch screen is a different shape from the 4.7-inch panel on the Pocket 4 Pro. That Retroid model lists 8GB of RAM and Android 13 against the RG405M's 4GB and Android 12, in a body the maker gives as 261 g to the Anbernic's 260 g. The RG353V is the smaller Anbernic option, listing 2GB of RAM, a 3.5-inch screen and a 3200 mAh battery with Android 11 plus Linux. None of the three has its supported systems named.
