XGB36 is a horizontal retro gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by RK3326A+ (4-core, 1.8 GHz), 1 GB DDR3L RAM and Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS display (640 x 480, 4:3). 3500 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
At its heart sits the RK3326A+ processor with four Cortex-A35 cores, paired with 1 GB of DDR3L RAM and a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. This is a modest, efficiency-focused configuration aimed at classic retro emulation rather than demanding systems. The XGB36 is designed around older game libraries, and heavier platforms are beyond what this class of hardware sets out to deliver.
The 3.5-inch IPS display runs at 640 x 480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This format matches many classic games, so the image can be shown without awkward stretching or wide black bars. The IPS panel type is valued for consistent colours when viewed from different angles, a welcome advantage on a compact screen.
The horizontal form factor places the screen in the centre with controls on either side, a layout that feels natural in the hands and recalls classic portable consoles. It is a sensible choice for longer sessions, where comfort matters as much as the game itself.
The 3500 mAh battery works alongside an efficiency-oriented processor, a fitting combination for a pocketable device. The Linux operating system provides an open, familiar foundation for emulation front-ends and for users who enjoy tailoring their setup.
Ideal for: players who want a simple, accessible horizontal retro handheld with a 4:3 screen dedicated to classic games, and for anyone who appreciates a Linux-based platform.
