Great video! I love the exploration of obscure aliexpress handhelds, it really gives us a way to know what to avoid and what's a hidden gem. You're doing God's work my friend!
He returned when the world needed him the most! The resolution on this handheld is indeed weird. On the aliexpress page you linked, the advertising pictures showed 800x680, but the text in their description says 800x600. I decided to take the images and import it into photoshop, isolated the screen, and measured an approximate aspect ratio of 5:3, which would imply a resolution of 800x480. God knows which one is correct. 😂 Did you test whether the speakers are stereo btw?
Lol. What’s up, my friend. Appreciate the insight. I think you’re right about the resolution being 800x600. I’m pretty sure the speakers are just dual mono, but I’m not 100% on that. I’m gonna play around with it a little more tomorrow so I’ll let you know if I figure it out. Happy New Year buddy!
@suhtangwong what’s up, my friend. I it is actually 800x600. I think 480 would apply to a 4:3 aspect ratio screen. I’m definitely not the smartest guy in the room though.
@@OGTechNick easiest way to verify is to take a screenshot(if the firmware supports it), import the picture into another device like a phone or PC to check the dimensions. I'm personally leaning towards 800x480 though, which is 5:3, or 15:9, which is just slightly less wide than 16:9. It looks in-line with your PPSSPP gameplay. You can see that it has slight black bars at the top and bottom, since they are trying to fit a 16:9 game into a 15:9 screen by pinching it horizontally. 800x600 would have been exactly 4:3 aspect ratio.
Im loving the r36h lately because its more comfortable than the r36s. But arkos is a huge reason. If its able to play gzdoom with mods, thats a yes for me. Tsp wont 😢. man i love what you do, glad youre still going, thanks!🎉
I just got the other one. I'm pretty impressed, although I just doodled around with it. Played God of war and actually played pretty good with no sound lol. I never plead the game but watched enough of these videos over a few years was a lot of consoles and almost all can't really play that game or 007. And I played a 64 game and play pretty good. I was pretty impressed with that other one. I forgot the name already.
I have a lot going on right now, but I’ll try to get it done. If I can’t get to it in time maybe @deadfred69 can help. He should be posting a review any day now.
Oh no! Hahaha. You came across my secret Chinese advertising campaign. I don’t think AliExpress likes it because I can’t even say UA-cam in a message with the seller. Y*uTube works great though. 🤣

Thanks for watching!
Looks about as I had hoped. Mine should arrive this weekend. Great video man and happy near year!
Sweet! Thanks man. Happy New Year to you too!
Pretty good for the price. Definitely worth a purchase.

480 sounds about right as there are many many cheap devices with that set resolution

"what do you mess with me?,
It's a test man that all"
You're the best reviewer man!
😂 thanks!
Your back!
I am! Happy New Year bud!
@OGTechNick happy new year! Hope you had a good holiday break
Great review and gameplay! It seems to be a good handheld. I like the white version the most!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching. Yeah, the white one does look nice!
No worries Nick. I clicked the Like button 100 times for you! 🤪
✌️😄💯
$40 not too bad for what it is.
Trimui looks like the overall best buy even if it's slightly more expensive.
Only thing I don’t like about the trimui smart pro is that r3 and l3 don’t exist. Can’t push down the sticks

I wish this handheld had a more beefy chipset so it could at least be good for more PSP titles.
Yeah. I feel you on that

This looks nicer than the r36h will it get arkos?
I have a feeling it will, but not sure yet.
Better spend 25$ more for the Trimui Pro? How about other OSes?
Yeah. I personally agree with that. Not sure about the OS situation yet. I have a feeling ArkOS will make it onto this one.
Could you upload and share the contents of the emuelec partition? I wonder if it is using the latest emuelec build for the k36 or an updated one.

The resolution is 2 times gba.
The storepage says the resolution is 800 x 680. 2x GBA would be 480 x 320. This is 20:17, an unusual choice.
I’m pretty sure it’s actually 800x600. I could be wrong though. I don’t think it can be 2 times GBA because it has a different aspect ratio.
clone of r36h?
Pretty close. It’s using EmuELEC instead of ArkOS and it has a wide screen instead of 4:3, but seems to have the same performance and chipset.
Thanks for your video, found your review on Aliexpress as well 😅👍
