By matching your priority to the right model, you can avoid overpaying for features you won't use or undershooting on screen space.
Quick Take
- If you want a large 7-inch screen for $79.99, the G90 is the only option here.

Product Notes
Anbernic RG 35XXPRO 3.5" IPS Screen Video Game Console Linux Built-in 64G Gifts
Priced at USD 69.99, the Anbernic RG 35XXPRO is the only item here that carries the ANBERNIC name. It pairs a 3.5-inch IPS screen with Linux and a 64GB built-in storage designation. The Black version is listed with 4,500+ games. Among the four, only this model includes Bluetooth compatibility in its attributes, along with a 3,200mAh battery and support for expandable storage up to 512GB. Choose this one when you want a recognizable maker and wireless controller options. The trade-off: you pay a higher listed price compared with the R36S models, and the screen stays at 3.5 inches rather than jumping to 7 inches.
R36S Retro Handheld Video Game Console Linux System 3.5 Inch IPS Screen 128GB
At USD 28.99, this R36S is the lowest listed price in the group. It offers a 3.5-inch IPS display, 128GB of storage, USB-C connectivity, and a Linux system. It comes with 20,000+ games preloaded, which is a reason to consider it if you want immediate variety without adding to your library. The limitation is that the maker is not identified in the product details, and the screen size matches the other 3.5-inch models rather than the G90's 7-inch panel. If staying close to $30 matters more than a named brand, this is the one to pick.
G90 Retro Handheld Video Game Console 7" HD IPS Screen - 20,000 preloaded games
The G90 stands alone in this lineup with a 7-inch HD IPS screen and a listed price of USD 79.99. It includes 20,000 preloaded games across categories like fighting, adventure, action, and 3D, and notes USB connectivity plus 64GB of storage. If a large display is your priority for comfortable viewing or sharing a screen, this is the only item here that delivers that. The trade-off is the highest listed price in this comparison: $51 more than the least expensive R36S. That price gap buys you the larger screen, but you'll also be carrying a bigger device.
128GB R36S Retro Handheld Video Game Console 3.5 Inch IPS Screen
The Orange R36S is listed at USD 30.99, making it the second least expensive option in this group. It shares the same 3.5-inch IPS screen size and 128GB storage capacity as the other R36S, and it also uses USB-C connectivity. It supports multiple languages, which may appeal if you want a specific interface. The limitation: it costs USD 2.00 more than the other R36S listing while offering the same listed screen size and storage. Choose it if the Orange color is what you want or if you prefer a slightly different look for the same form factor.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you want the biggest screen for retro classics, the G90's 7-inch HD IPS panel is the reason to go with the higher $79.99 listed price. If you want to stay near the lowest listed price and still get 128GB and 20,000+ games, the R36S at $28.99 is the direct pick. If you prefer a named maker and Bluetooth, the Anbernic RG 35XXPRO brings those details at $69.99. And if you specifically want an Orange shell and don't mind paying $2 more than the entry R36S, the 128GB R36S in Orange covers that need.
