R36S Game Consoles Australia

Which R36 handheld should you buy?

Every console in this collection runs on the same proven R36 platform, so the games they play and the firmware they take are broadly the same. What changes is the screen, the shape in your hands, Wi-Fi, and the price. Here is the whole line side by side.

Model What sets it apart Colours From
R36S The original: 3.5" IPS screen, vertical layout, plays up to PS1 18 $79
R36H Same platform in a horizontal grip — easier on the hands for long sessions 12 $89.95
R36S Plus Built-in Wi-Fi, so no dongle for PortMaster and updates 10 $99
R36 Pro R36 platform with a 64GB or 128GB card 5 $99
R36 Ultra A step up from the R36S, with 64GB or 128GB storage 8 $99.95
R36 Max Larger 4" 720×720 screen and a 4000mAh battery 5 $109.95

A quick way to choose

  • Lowest price, most pocketable: the R36S.
  • Long play sessions: the R36H for its horizontal grip, or the R36 Max for the bigger screen and battery.
  • You want Wi-Fi without a dongle: the R36S Plus.

Still deciding between two of them? Our R36S vs R36 Ultra vs R36H comparison goes through the differences in detail. Whichever you pick, a good microSD card and our firmware guide cover the setup.

Every R36 ships free to Australia and comes with a 30-day return window.
