BUDGET RETRO GAMING HANDHELDS

Which Budget Retro Gaming Handheld Is Right For You?

Retrolize supplies a carefully selected range of budget retro gaming handhelds from UK stock. Each console is prepared for straightforward use, supplied with upgraded branded storage and covered by a 12-month Retrolize warranty.

The R36S and Anbernic RG28XX provide two distinct options: a traditional vertical handheld with analogue controls or an exceptionally compact horizontal console designed around portability.

R36S 64GB – Best For A Larger Screen & Analogue Controls

The R36S 64GB combines a 3.5-inch IPS 640x480 display with dual analogue sticks and shoulder controls. Its vertical design provides a familiar handheld layout, while the larger screen makes it comfortable for longer playing sessions.

ArkOS and EmulationStation provide an organised console-style interface for navigating compatible systems. Retrolize replaces the standard storage with a genuine 64GB Kioxia microSD card and includes a protective EVA carry case.

Choose the R36S if screen size, analogue controls and additional storage are more important than having the smallest possible handheld.

Anbernic RG28XX 32GB – Best Pocket-Sized Option

The Anbernic RG28XX 32GB is the more compact option. Its horizontal design and 2.83-inch IPS 640x480 display make it particularly well suited to portable play and classic systems that do not require analogue sticks.

Anbernic’s H700 quad-core hardware runs a Linux-based interface, while Micro HDMI output allows the console to be connected to a compatible television or display. Retrolize supplies it with a genuine 32GB SanDisk card and protective carry case.

Choose the RG28XX if portability, a simple control layout and television output are the priorities.
