Our two most requested products actually serve two very different uses. Here's a direct comparison to help you decide based on your situation.
| Criterion | R36S | GameStick 4K |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Handheld, built-in screen | Connects to TV |
| Screen | 3.5-inch IPS | Your TV (up to 4K) |
| Controllers | Built into the device | 2 wireless controllers included |
| Typical use | Solo, on the go | Family, living room |
| System | Open Linux | Plug and play, ready to use |
If you're looking for a console to take everywhere — on public transport, on holiday, during a break — the R36S is built for this solo, mobile use, with a built-in screen that doesn't depend on any other device.
If your priority is playing with family on a big screen, with several controllers ready out of the box and no setup needed, the GameStick 4K is clearly the better fit.
Many of our customers own both — the R36S for solo, on-the-go use, the GameStick for shared game nights in the living room. They're not direct competitors but two natural complements.
Both belong to different price ranges depending on their respective features — check our product page for the current price of each.
The GameStick makes parental supervision easier thanks to the shared big screen, while the R36S suits an older child who wants to play solo, for instance in the car.
The R36S runs on a built-in battery with its own runtime, while the GameStick draws power directly from your TV, with no battery-related limit.
