Game Console has been cranking out a bunch of similar consoles over the past few years, like the R46S (currently priced at $79.99 on Amazon), which came out late last year. Now, it looks like another brand has served Game Console a bit of their own medicine with a copycat called the R36S Plus.
Specs and Features
According to Retro Handhelds, the R36S Plus features a 3.5-inch screen and the same Rockchip RK3326 chipset as the original R36S. Plus, this compact display runs at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio, a popular choice among makers of retro gaming handhelds.
Performance Insights
What sets the R36S Plus apart is its 4 GB of RAM. To put it in perspective, while even budget smartphones these days typically come with at least 4 GB of RAM, most retro gaming handhelds usually offer only 1 GB or 2 GB at most. In theory, this could mean that the R36S Plus is capable of better emulation for some games, but it will still face limitations due to its Rockchip RK3326 chipset.
Design and Battery Life
The R36S Plus also has a unique 360-degree d-pad along with start/select buttons instead of a second joystick. Interestingly, the device is equipped with a rather small 1,200 mAh battery, which is about one-third the size of batteries found in newer retro gaming handhelds. Right now, you can find the R36S Plus on AliExpress for about $22, available in three different colors, all measuring 132 x 93 mm.
