The Anbernic RG405M sold through in September and has retired from the K-TEC range. There is no exact replacement in today’s range — the closest device in spirit is the Anbernic RG353M below, and I will be straight with you about the trade-off.
I recommend the Anbernic RG353M instead
The RG353M is the metal handheld the RG405M succeeded in Anbernic’s line — the same aluminium build, Hall Effect sticks, and the same 4:3 screen shape on a 3.5-inch panel rather than a 4.0-inch one. It arrives with every platform configured and ready to play, brand-name storage, and the Lifetime MicroSD Card Guarantee — and unlike the RG405M, it offers HDMI output to a television. The honest trade-off: it runs the RockChip RK3566 rather than the UNISOC T618, so it does not carry the headroom into the more demanding platforms the T618 had. This is final stock — I am not restocking the RG353M, and only a couple remain. If it is the one you want, it is worth acting on.

A tighter budget, or a different shape?
The Anbernic RG353V gives you the same RK3566 performance and the same 4:3 screen in a lighter vertical body, from £149.90 — also final stock, with four remaining. The BATLEXP G350 is the pocket-friendly pick, from £94.90. And the Anbernic RG DS plays Nintendo DS games across two screens, from £147.90.

The Anbernic RG405M — sold through
The RG405M was the premium metal handheld of the K-TEC range: a solid aluminium body, a 4.0-inch 4:3 panel — the largest 4:3 screen in the range — and a 4,500 mAh battery, the largest I have stocked. Its UNISOC T618 chip placed it a tier above the RK3566 line, and in its Max Performance mode it could run some PS2 and GameCube games. It ran GammaOS Lite with the Daijishou launcher, tuned platform by platform like every device I sell, and the verified owner reviews remain on this page.
The RG405M sold through in late September, and I am not restocking it — it has retired from the K-TEC range, and there is no stock remaining. If you are weighing up a second-hand unit, my notes on what to look for — and what a factory-fresh import leaves out — are on the retired handhelds page.
