Use this to compare all the handheld

For this spec, i think powkiddy rg10x will be better

https://handhelds.miraheze.org/wiki/POWKIDDY_RGB10X

Same hardware as r36s but atleast better qc

My fav go to channel for retro handheld



R36s uses RK3326 processor. Solid cpu but can emulate up to ps1

These chip can also handle early pc games via portmaster

Anyway u can get more info in reddit subsection sbcgaming

Yeah, you can choose screen type, [type of OS (linux - for pc port support) or android for streaming and android apps, cpu type for type of emulation. [Gba. Sness. PS1, or Ps2].

As for brand, you have anbernic, powkiddy [main competitors] or go for models like trimui smart pro, x55, odin, retroid pro [more beefier and expensive which can run ps2]

If ps 1 those budget anbernic [rg [number] xx] series can run..even rg35xx or rg35xx h can run.

What you want to consider is the layout of controller (gba style or horizontal layout) and screen size [4:3], or 1:1 or 16:9

Cpu plays a part for your emulation. If you also want to emulate PSP, then u need beefier cpu like RK3566 [mostly on powkiddy rgb30 or x55/x28)

Check the spreadsheet and reddit link above me.

Also go through that youtube channel, he gives very much indepth review of all type of console.

Last you want to consider as well is how small u want it.

X55 is larger but 16:9, where else rg35xx / rgb10x is smaller


This is for rg35 xx / rg35 xx h



Powkiddy x55

Rg40xx v is 4" screen i think vs 3.5"


Here are the comparison

No worries, glad all worked out for you

Anbernic and powkiddy are good but it depends what you want to play.


Try the excel sheet and cross check with reddit cpu spec and youtube. Because i also wont know which suited best for your need.

My kid loves zelda games from gba, so got her rg35xx as a start. Might get an upgrade soon
