R36VX is a retro gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1 GB DDR3L RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a IPS display (4:3). Runs Linux.
At its heart sits the RK3326 processor, with four Cortex-A35 cores running at 1.5 GHz, paired with a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU and 1 GB of DDR3L RAM. This combination is well suited to 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, classic handheld systems and, generally, titles from the Sony PlayStation era. It is not a platform for more demanding systems, but it performs well where it was built to shine.
The display uses IPS technology and a 4:3 aspect ratio, the same format most classic games were designed for. As a result, the image fills the panel without side black bars or awkward stretching, while the IPS panel provides wide viewing angles.
The handheld form factor allows gaming sessions anywhere, and the compact design makes it easy to slip into a backpack or bag pocket. It is a console aimed at quick pick-up-and-play gaming without complicated setup.
For connectivity, the R36VX offers a USB-C port and a microSD slot. Storage options of 64 GB and 128 GB provide room for a substantial game collection, and the microSD card makes transferring and organising files straightforward.
On the software side, the console runs Linux, and modding is permitted. This opens the door to alternative firmware, custom interfaces and emulator tweaks, a significant advantage for enthusiasts who want to tailor the device to their own preferences.
Ideal for: retro gaming fans looking for a simple handheld with a 4:3 screen, generous storage and the freedom to modify the software, for emulating classic systems up to the Sony PlayStation era.
