Score: 73/100Rankings
The R36S is a budget-friendly handheld retro console featuring a sharp IPS screen and a powerful RK3326 processor, delivering smooth performance for 8/16-bit and many 32-bit games. Its main trade-offs are the lack of wireless connectivity and a flimsy plastic chassis that can feel fragile. It is best suited for casual retro gamers who value portability and a massive pre-installed game library.
The Kinhank Super Console X2 Pro delivers a massive 65,000-game library, 4K HDMI output, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and three operating systems in a mini-box. Its limited 2 GB RAM and occasional overheating restrict performance for demanding 3D titles. It fits families and casual retro fans who value variety and connectivity.

Professional reviewers commend the Kinhank X2 Pro for its massive pre-installed game library, plug-and-play convenience, 4K HDMI output, and versatile triple-OS setup with a cooling fan. However, they consistently point out the hardware's limitations, especially the inability to run demanding 3D or N64 titles smoothly, the practical 2 GB RAM ceiling, and confusing spec listings across sellers.
Everyday users appreciate the sheer volume of games, easy setup, family multiplayer, and crisp 4K display, describing it as a ready-to-play nostalgia machine. Recurring complaints focus on lag in 3D titles, the necessity of backing up the SD card, occasional overheating, and occasional Wi-Fi connectivity hiccups.

“pretty damn shitty”
Professional reviewers commend the R36S for its high-quality IPS screen, smooth RK3326 performance and precise Hall-effect controls, calling it a top value option for retro emulation. However, they note the cheap plastic construction, lack of wireless connectivity, and inconsistent handling of demanding emulators as notable drawbacks.
Everyday users rave about the massive game library, portable form factor and decent battery life, while repeatedly criticizing the flimsy build, missing Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and occasional emulation glitches on tougher titles.
