The RG406V runs Android 13 on the Unisoc T820, so updating works like a normal Android device: it can check for an online (OTA) build from Settings, and Anbernic also publishes offline firmware images (recent public builds reached V1.26) on its download portal for manual flashing. Keep it on Wi-Fi and charged during the update so it is not interrupted. This is a DRAFT for human review.

FAQ

Does the RG406V update over the air?
Yes. It can check online under Settings → System update, and Anbernic also offers offline images for manual flashing.
Will updating erase my games?
An OTA update normally keeps your data, but back up saves and your microSD first; a full offline re-flash can wipe internal storage.
