Game Console R35S is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2023. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1GB LPDDR4 RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480, 4:3). 3500 mAh battery.

The Game Console R35S is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2023, sitting in the budget bracket of up to $50. It pairs a classic Game Boy-style layout with a complete control set and a screen well suited to emulation.

Inside is the Rockchip RK3326 SoC, with four Cortex-A35 cores at 1.3 - 1.5 GHz, a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of LPDDR4 RAM. Performance comfortably covers SNES, including FX-chip titles, and 3D PlayStation games at 60 FPS. 2D PSP games are mostly playable, 3D PSP titles need frameskip, and N64 and Dreamcast run well for easier-to-emulate games. The supported library includes Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, NES, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Neo Geo, MAME, Final Burn Neo, PC Engine, MS-DOS, ScummVM, Pico-8 and many more.

The 3.5-inch IPS display runs at 640 x 480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio, roughly 229 PPI and 60 Hz. The 4:3 format naturally matches most classic consoles, while OCA lamination under tempered glass delivers a crisp image and extra protection.

For controls, the R35S offers symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3, a cross D-pad in the lower position, four face buttons, shelf-style L1, R1, L2, R2 shoulder buttons and rumble. Dedicated volume buttons sit alongside Power, Reset and a Function button. The plastic body measures 83 x 120 x 20.8 mm.

The battery is rated at 3500 mAh, and charging happens through the bottom-facing USB-C ports (x2), with OTG support. A 3.5mm headphone jack is also on the bottom, while sound comes from a single front-facing mono speaker. Storage relies on dual microSD slots.

The console runs Linux, supports ArkOS and modding is permitted, giving tinkerers plenty of room to customize the experience.

Ideal for: players looking for an affordable vertical retro handheld with dual sticks for classic games up to PlayStation, plus a slice of the PSP, N64 and Dreamcast libraries.
