R36S Pro is a vertical retro gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by Rockchip RK3566 (estimate). Features a 4" display (720x720, 1:1).
Inside sits the Rockchip RK3566, listed in the specs as an estimate. It is a chip commonly found in handhelds built for emulation, so the R36S Pro is focused on running classic games. Exact performance depends on the software used and the final configuration of the device.
The 4-inch display has a 720x720 resolution and a 1:1 aspect ratio, with a pixel density of about 254.56 ppi, delivering a sharp and detailed image. The square format means games designed for other proportions will show black bars, but the space is used efficiently for a vertical device.
On the controls side, the console offers two symmetrically placed analog sticks, both with L3/R3 clicks, a cross D-pad positioned at the top and four face buttons. Function, Power and Reset buttons are also included, along with dedicated volume buttons. The body is made of plastic, and audio comes from dual stereo speakers facing the bottom.
For connectivity, the R36S Pro charges via USB-C and provides a USB-OTG port, WiFi, Mini HDMI video output for connecting to a TV and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Storage is handled by a microSD card.
Modding is permitted, and microSD storage makes it easy to swap firmware or game libraries. This lets the console be tailored to each user's preferences.
Ideal for: retro gaming fans who want a compact vertical handheld with a sharp screen, dual analog sticks, HDMI output and freedom to customize.
