Why 4:3 Still Wins in 2025 | Anbernic RG477V First Look

👉The Anbernic RG 477V is a vertical Android handheld built around one of the best 4:3 screens ever used in a retro gaming device. Featuring a stunning 4.7" LTPS IPS display at 1280×960 with a 120Hz refresh rate, the RG 477V is designed for classic games the way they were meant to be played — no stretching, no guessing, and no compromises. Powered by the Dimensity 8300 chipset, it easily handles everything from NES through PS2, with plenty of headroom for CRT shaders, bezels, and visual enhancements. In this first look, I break down the hardware, controls, performance, and—most importantly—why 4:3 still matters for retro gaming in 2025. If you’re tired of fighting widescreen aspect ratios and want a handheld that makes classic games look and feel right, the RG 477V might be one of Anbernic’s best releases yet. Merry Christmas, and let me know in the comments — are you team 4:3 or still rocking widescreen?
