R46H: The Horizontal Handheld Sold Next to the R36H
The R46H is a horizontal handheld that appeared in September 2025 alongside the R36H Pro Max. It uses the same Rockchip RK3326 and a 1024×768 4:3 screen, but listings disagree on the panel size and the battery, and Wi-Fi is built in on some units only.

Quick Verdict
🏆 Only buy an R46H from a listing that states screen size, battery and Wi-Fi clearly.
On paper it sits between the R36H and the Pro Max; in practice the listings vary too much to compare on name alone.
