R36 Pro is a retro gaming handheld launched in 2025. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM and ARM Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. Features a 3.5" IPS display (640 x 480, 4:3). 3200 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
Under the hood sits the Rockchip RK3326, with four Cortex-A35 cores at 1.5 GHz, paired with the Mali-G31 MP2 GPU and 1 GB of LPDDR3 RAM. This is an entry-level platform aimed at emulating classic retro systems rather than demanding titles.
The 3.5" IPS display runs at 640 x 480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the same proportions used by many consoles and TVs of the retro era. Classic games fill the screen without side black bars, and the IPS panel delivers good viewing angles.
On the controls side, the R36 Pro offers dual analog sticks and four shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2). This layout comfortably covers games that need analog input or extra shoulder buttons, giving plenty of flexibility when mapping controls.
Power comes from a 3200 mAh battery, while storage is handled by a microSD card, making it easy to manage your game library and swap operating systems.
The Linux operating system and permissive modding policy mean users can experiment with alternative firmware and customise the interface to their liking, a major plus for emulation enthusiasts.
Ideal for: players looking for an affordable-feeling retro handheld with a 4:3 screen, dual analog sticks and the freedom to tinker with the software.
