R36XX: New budget retro gaming handheld launches in numerous translucent colours

The R36XX is another vertical retro gaming handheld aimed at dethroning the likes of Anbernic's RG35XX series, the BatleXP G350 and the R36S. Contrary to its name, the R36XX features a 3.5-inch display rather than a 3.6-inch equivalent. Like its peers, the R36XX utilises an IPS panel with a 640 x 480-pixel native resolution that corresponds with a 4:3 aspect ratio suitable for many retro games.

Additionally, the RG36XX includes 1 GB of DDR3L RAM and a Rockchip RK3326 chipset with four ARM Cortex-A35 CPU cores and a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU clocked at 650 MHz. Moreover, the gaming handheld features a pair of joysticks like the BatleXP G350 and RG35XX Pro, as well as a pair of USB Type-C ports, a 3,000 mAh battery, built-in Wi-Fi and two microSD card slots.

Reportedly, the R36XX is compatible with custom firmware solutions, too. The R36XX can currently be picked up on AliExpress for just over $40 with a 64 GB microSD. At the time of writing, the R36XX can be picked up in over half a dozen colour options, most of which with translucent finishes. Alternatively, these same eight launch colours can be purchased on Amazon for around $55.
