What the R36 Max actually is
The R36 Max takes the R36S formula and enlarges it. The 4.0-inch tempered-glass IPS panel runs at 720×720 rather than 640×480, which shows up most clearly in pixel-art titles and in menu text.
The other meaningful upgrade is the 4000 mAh battery — a quarter more capacity than the R36S. Combined with the quad-core RK3326 at 1.5 GHz, it is the model to pick if your sessions are measured in hours rather than minutes.
It is also, at the time of writing, the strongest-selling R36 listing on Amazon, which usually means faster dispatch and a more reliable seller than the long tail of relabelled units.
What sets it apart
- Largest, sharpest panel here at 4.0" and 720×720
- 4000 mAh battery — the seller quotes around 10 hours of play
- Currently the best-selling R36 listing on Amazon
Who should buy it
