Game Console R50S is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1GB DDR3 RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 5.1" IPS LCD display (854 x 480, 16:9). 4200 mAh battery. Runs Linux.

The Game Console R50S is a horizontal retro handheld released in 2024, built around the Rockchip RK3326 SoC. Its four Cortex-A35 cores run between 1.3 and 1.5 GHz, paired with a dual-core Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM. It is an efficient, proven platform sitting in the $50–$75 price bracket.

When it comes to emulation, the R50S confidently handles everything from the PlayStation generation down: SNES titles using the Super FX chip and 3D PS1 games run at 60 FPS. 2D PSP games are mostly playable, while 3D PSP titles need frameskip. Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast are mostly playable for the easier-to-emulate games, and the library also spans Game Boy, NES, Genesis / Mega Drive, Neo Geo, MAME, Nintendo DS, ScummVM, Pico-8 and many more.

The 5.1-inch IPS display has a resolution of 854 x 480 in 16:9 format, delivering around 192 PPI at a 60 Hz refresh rate. The panel is covered by OCA-laminated tempered glass, which brings the image closer to the surface and adds protection. It is a standard-definition screen, but a roomy one for retro libraries.

Controls are laid out for comfort: dual symmetric thumbsticks, a cross D-pad in the lower position, four face buttons and four shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2) in a vertical arrangement. Two function buttons, power and reset buttons, plus dedicated volume keys round out the layout. The plastic body measures 210 x 90 x 22 mm.

The 4200 mAh battery charges through the USB-C port on the top edge, where you will also find the 3.5mm headphone jack. A USB-C OTG port allows accessories to be connected, and dual stereo speakers face downward. Brightness is adjusted from the menu.

The R50S runs Linux and modding is permitted, so tinkerers are free to customise the software. Dual microSD slots make it easy to keep the system and the game collection on separate cards.

Ideal for: players who want an affordable horizontal handheld with a large screen and dual analog sticks for PS1-era classics, with occasional forays into PSP, N64 and Dreamcast.
