The R36S at 3.5\" and the R36Plus at 3.5\" are iGC entry devices — great for GBA and PS1, with a screen that fits in a pocket. The Ultra X steps up to 4.5\" IPS: 29% more vertical screen area compared to the R36S. Same vertical portrait form that R36 players know, same open-source Linux DNA, with a higher-resolution larger panel and a more powerful SoC that handles N64 more smoothly. Five colors — White, Black, Red, Green, Purple — with dedicated IP-matched screen art.

Colors: Ultra X comes in 5 colors (White, Black, Red, Green, Purple) vs the R36S standard color range.
