Product description

The R36S Retro Handheld Game Console is a well-built, compact device designed for smooth classic gaming.  
It features a 3.5-inch IPS display with 640×480 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio, delivering a clear and balanced visual experience for retro titles.  
Powered by a quad-core RK3326 processor running a Linux-based system, it efficiently handles multiple emulators — from NES, SNES, Sega Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, to PlayStation 1 and more.

The layout is thoughtfully designed for comfort and precision: dual analog sticks, responsive D-pad, dedicated function keys, and ergonomic shoulder buttons allow full control in every emulator environment.  A combination key system provides quick access to key functions such as brightness control, save/load states, and fast game restarts. The console includes two microSD slots — one for the system firmware and one for the game library — with models available in 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB configurations.  
Units typically include a selection of preinstalled titles, while users can freely add more games or update the firmware when needed.

Connectivity features include a 3.5 mm headphone jack, USB-C port, and built-in stereo speakers.  
A 3200–3800 mAh rechargeable battery provides around 4–6 hours of continuous play.  
The R36S comes in multiple finishes, including transparent and solid-colour shells, combining a nostalgic design with modern practicality.
