👉The R36T Max is historically inaccurate, technically unnecessary, and completely charming. This budget handheld features a CRT-style bubble lens and a 1:1 square screen that creates a unique retro gaming experience—even if it’s anachronistic for Game Boy games.
Yes, you read that right: this device has a curved screen lens designed to mimic CRT displays, despite the fact that Game Boys never had CRT screens. It makes no historical sense. And yet, somehow, it feels absolutely right when you’re actually playing games on it.
In an oversaturated market of identical RK3326 devices, the R36T Max stands out by prioritizing aesthetic and experience over raw performance. While most budget handhelds race to cram in the most powerful chip or the highest resolution screen, this device asks a different question: what if we focused on how games feel instead of just how they perform?
The combination of that curved bubble lens, a versatile 1:1 aspect ratio display, support for CRT shaders, and thoughtful design choices creates something genuinely different in the sea of retro handheld clones. This isn’t about being the best, it’s about being interesting. And in a market full of sameness, that matters more than you might think.

A retroid flip 2 with seemingly worse controls. Without a grip it’ll be very “crampful” to use those joysticks
