R36 Ultra X Retro Handheld Game Console — 4.5" IPS, Wi-Fi
The R36 Ultra X is the big-screen, Wi-Fi model of the vertical R36 design: a 4.5-inch fully laminated IPS screen, Wi-Fi built in, a 3,000mAh battery and RGB-lit analogue sticks, in five translucent colours with 64GB or 128GB storage.
What is the R36 Ultra X?
It is a newer, larger take on the R36S layout. The screen grows from 3.5 to 4.5 inches and is laminated (no air gap under the glass), and Wi-Fi is on the board instead of needing a USB adapter. Inside is a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A35 processor with a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU, the same class of chip as the rest of the R36 family, so it plays the same systems at much the same speed. You are paying for the screen, the Wi-Fi and the extras, not for more power.

R36 Ultra X — quick questions
Does the R36 Ultra X have Wi-Fi?
Yes, Wi-Fi is built in. On the standard R36S you need a USB adapter for it.
Is the R36 Ultra X faster than the R36S?
No. It uses the same class of quad-core Cortex-A35 chip, so systems that are hit-or-miss on the R36S are hit-or-miss here too. The upgrade is the screen, Wi-Fi and build.
