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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5-inch fully laminated IPS screen, 4:3 (1024×768 according to the manufacturer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi built in, for firmware updates and network features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad-core Cortex-A35 CPU, Mali-G31 MP2 GPU, open-source Linux system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3,000mAh battery with USB-C charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual analogue sticks with RGB light rings, D-pad, ABXY and shoulder buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual speakers, vibration motor, volume button with one-touch mute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTG port for a wired controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen, Purple, Red, Black or White (translucent shells), 64GB or 128GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDisplay\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5\" IPS, fully laminated, 4:3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProcessor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGraphics\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMali-G31 MP2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWireless\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi built in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBattery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,000mAh, USB-C charging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64GB or 128GB card, expandable via microSD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSystem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLinux, open source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExtras\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual speakers, vibration, RGB stick lights, OTG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does it compare with the rest of the R36 range?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/r36s-game-console\"\u003eR36S\u003c\/a\u003e (from A$79): a screen one inch larger and Wi-Fi built in, on the same class of chip.
