Highlights, specifications and what's in the box+
The R36S game console is a pocket-size retro handheld with a built-in 3.5-inch, 640 × 480 screen, dual analog joysticks and physical buttons in a compact vertical design. It is made for retro gaming on your own screen, whether you are relaxing at home or taking a break away from the TV. Select a shell color and either 64GB or 128GB of storage.
R36S highlights
- 3.5-inch screen: a 640 × 480 display built into the handheld.
- Physical controls: a D-pad, face buttons, dual joysticks and rear L1/L2 and R1/R2 buttons.
- RK3326 processor: compatible retro emulation, with performance depending on the game, software and settings.
- Storage and shell choices: 64GB or 128GB, with solid and transparent color options shown in the selector.
- Dual TF card slots: card-based system and game storage; back up your original cards before making changes.
Which R36S storage and color should you choose?
The 128GB option provides more storage space than 64GB; it is not a faster processor configuration. Choose your preferred capacity and color together, then check the selected option before adding to your cart. Shell color is an appearance choice, not a promise of different game compatibility. Specific game titles are not guaranteed for either capacity.
R36S, R36S MAX or RG36 PRO?
Choose the R36S for its 3.5-inch vertical format and broad color selection. The R36S MAX has a larger, square 4-inch 720 × 720 screen. The RG36 PRO RGB handheld focuses on light-up joysticks and a metallic purple finish. Compare the listed features rather than treating a larger screen or a model suffix as a guarantee of faster emulation.

What should you know about compatibility?
The R36S uses compatible emulators for classic gaming systems. Support for an emulator is not a guarantee that every game will run well: more demanding systems, including PSP and N64, are game- and configuration-dependent. Use only game files and other content you own or are entitled to use. Screen artwork on this page is illustrative.
R36S setup help and next steps
The console has its own screen, so a TV is not needed for handheld play. A USB charging cable and manual are included; a wall adapter is not included. Keep a backup of the original cards before transferring files or changing software.
