That piece of paper is fish paper, its a good (and cheap) insulator. You can buy your own and cut a piece if you own this device to do their fix yourself.

FINALLY, someone puts my two favorite shell options side by side! :-)

"as long as youre there watching while it charges, it'll be fine" is the summary of my IT career XD, for some reason things only break while not being observed throughout my experience with tech

I was waiting for new colours in hopes of a transparent red, the moment it was announced I put my order in, loving the colour

[DhruvKumar]

One of the only big YouTuber actually covering the qc issues of ambernic! Great job…. I hope more channels pressured anbernic to get their charging issues sorted !

1:05 For anyone wondering, the sticker is from B-Side label, your welcome

I can’t wait until we get a clamshell that can play Gamecube and PS2 😁
Retroid, you know what to do!

The buttons themselves have apparently been redesigned, seemingly to reduce the damage they cause to the membranes and domes.

Geeze, I was completely unaware of the battery issue, and my RG35XXSP is arriving today. I wouldn't have bought it if this video existed just 3 days earlier

I once got to try both revisions in a brick-and-mortar store, and one thing I noticed that the ABXY keys might tilt on the side if pressed on any point but dead center. It's definitely not the same as the original GBASP where pushing everywhere mostly still pushed the whole button evenly downwards. It's the issue with the internals of the buttons, which some people say have been redesigned but some say have not.

I have two RGXXSP one blue and one see through black. I love them I just got it to trade Pokémon wirelessly. I took it to China and back I have been able to complete SNES games from my childhood and my large library of GBA games I have not completed. I don't have to worry about if it breaks or blows up vs my 3ds, NDS, or NDS lite. I keep those locked up and safe. The re-sellers' market on the old retro consoles is out of control and I can pocket this thing without a problem. I charge mine regularly, but I keep it on a solid non or less flammable surface. Never had a charging issue or battery issue, bought mine when it launched. Just my opinion use it and if it breaks or blows up, I just hope my micro sd card doesn't go with it. Might back up my saves to the cloud. I 100% understand your stance on not watching your devices while they charge. all my stuff charges next to me usually so I can unplug if I see or smell smoke.

Joey always keeping it real! So you are saying that all H700's have a potential battery issue when charging USB-C to USB-C? This is important info to consider and know when making a purchase decision. 🍻👍🏼

Finally a comparison between the old stock and new one. Just wish to know about the quality of the plastic that is used in those devices and an observation of the hinges. As someone who is getting their first emulation handheld and anbernic device, I don't want it to break easily. Saw a couple of people posting on reddit about the transparent colored ones (especially the blue one) being prone to easily having broken hinges in just a few weeks..

[RyanStraub-fs]

Surprised that they’re both V4 but have different buttons. I thought the V3s had the old buttons.

That advice about not charging LiPo batteries unattended applies to the vast majority of LiPo batteries though. Laptops, Prius' and the like have sophisticated monitoring but these things and 'naked' batteries that you charge outside the device don't so best to keep an eye on them during charging. Once charged, they're very safe. If in doubt, charge it in a saucepan!

[crackity_j]

That sticker is from B Side Label. I love their stuff!

[alguem]

How is the hinge on this thing? I've been eyeing the RG35XXSP, but I don't know if I can trust the hinge to not completely break down after a year or two of use.

[Thomas-uyvn]

That charging situation is holding me back. It sucks

[Manuman]

I have the sp from the beginning no battery prob so far

[ralphmcmahan]

I play with toy trucks. We charge our lipo batteries in fancy bags that help lower the odds of your house going up. "Lipo safe bag" on your favorite shopping portal.
