According to handheld leaker NNITRX, potentially leaked design patents from ANBERNIC could point towards a new device in the pipeline, possibly called the “RG406P”.
- The leak comes from NNITRX, known for sharing patents about retro and portable gaming technology.
- The name appears to reference a potential 4-inch display (
40) made of plastic (P), although this is speculative as no official confirmation has been given. - Key differences in the design suggest a broader, more rectangular form-factor similar to older ANBERNIC models like the RG351P, with updated signature LED joysticks and an unusual D-pad layout under the analog sticks.
ANBERNIC’s reputation for cutting corners has led to devices of questionable quality. With new designs like the RG406P potentially emerging, questions remain as to whether this model will come to fruition or be left in development.
What do you think about ANBERNIC resurrecting a design with a more traditional form-factor?
Genuine question, are patents private information? I was under the impression it was public, which is why companies won’t patent a recipe (I very well could be confusing this with copyright or trademark)
Please correct me if I am wrong, I am always open to learning
