GameMT E6 Plus Unboxing ➕️ First Look: More RK3566 Fun????

[@deadfred69]

Sorry about the audio issues for those its affecting. I am using a brand new mic and its from same brand I have been using but maybe there is something wrong with it?.

NOKIA E6

Great Intro I enjoyed it !

[@mattdavis9601]

To be fair; when I think of Deadheads I first think of the Grateful Dead, so, a little silliness is on brand. When it comes to the karaoke; just keep truckin' on, Fred. We're approaching this E6 Plus from entirely different angles. I personally couldn't care less about the Linux side; I'm interested in the E6 and E6 Plus solely because they're pretty unique as far as Android handhelds go. They're a lot cheaper than most combined with a big-ish screen. But; depending on how locked down this new model is, my interest could fade quickly. When you do your full review I hope that you'll address how this unit works as an Android device. Can I swap out the emulators entirely for the various Robert Broglia .EMU emulators or Retroarch? Relatedly, can I add emulators for systems that this console doesn't ship with support for? They don't have TurboGrafx-16 (PC Engine) as part of the default load-out, which mildly annoys me because the TG16 port of "Outrun" is my favorite, excluding the Saturn's. Can I switch the launcher to something like Beacon, Daijishō, or maybe even Nova Launcher to give it that stock Android look? Can I run various Android apps like music players or e-readers? Heck, if it were possible I'd probably use it as a WiFi mini tablet to save some battery on my phone when I'm on the go. 5 inches is more than enough (that's what she said) for streaming DeadFred videos in McDonald's when I've eaten my lunch but I still have time to burn like they burn the fries at the bottom of the carton. That's pretty much all I've got to say. I was high on the E6 Plus until I saw Stubbs' coverage in the RH Podcast, then I was decidedly not high on it. After seeing this video I'm on the fence. $60-$75 is just enough money for me to get paranoid about making a mistake and throwing money away. But, it's just so darn likeable, you know? One more thing; is that ringtone I heard at various points throughout this video Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"? If so, you've got good taste.

[@deadfred69]

Yes Stevie is the man. Also remember the unit I have doesn't have the final software they're shipping. So all these are great things I'm glad you pointed them out and as soon as I get the proper unit with the software Android 64 bit and Linux I'll let you know how the Android side does for sure. Thanks for your contributions man we appreciate it

[@CornyPuddle]

Depending on custom firmware. I may grab this down the line if it's on sale

[@deadfred69]

I do think that gamma OS is a possibility on this thing but right now there is definitely some custom firmware going on.

[@deadfred69]

Deadfred cant sing but hey it was a fun opening!

[@MichaOXS]

The handheld has better sound than the mono video.

[@deadfred69]

So the sound is coming through in mono? I just got a new microphone but it's a high quality one so maybe I wonder if I have a setting or something. Thanks for pointing that out and letting me know

[@MichaOXS]

@@deadfred69 Yes, only mono from the left speaker.

[@mattdavis9601]

I was confused when I dropped down to the comments and saw people talking about this video's poor sound quality. It sounded fine to me; but, I wasn't using headphones and my phone only has one loudspeaker. Recording in mono would explain it.

[@deadfred69]

@@mattdavis9601 yeah man technology is weird. So the newest microphone I got has a switch to go from mono to stereo but the way that it's set up with two different mics when it's on stereo it actually separates the sound between the two mics. I guess that's very useful when you have multiple people but for me filming alone I had it set on stereo thinking it would record in stereo but this is why I actually came out the way it did. Now I actually have it set on mono which doesn't seem to make sense but that's what gives me the right sound. Thanks for pointing out that it was mostly headphone people I didn't realize that

[@mattdavis9601]

@@deadfred69 - Thanks for the explanation. Technology is weird, I agree. I'm happy I was able to help in some small way.

[@kylemagnus6187]

How does the D-pad feel compared to a windchaser 2?

[@deadfred69]

Winchester is so much better this is actually not horrific as I worried about but it's also not quite my style. Waiting on my final review unit though to see if software can make this any better since the software on the review unit will have the 64-bit Android as well as Linux

[@gotanks333]

Thank you for the great review! (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

[@gorillatechnology1380]

Hi my friend can i use this console for xbox game cloud??

[@deadfred69]

It does have Android so technically yes but I'm not sure you would enjoy the experience on it too much

[@wll1rah]

I have pass Since I already have two m18/ R43 Pro's, the colorways are also a turnoff for me too, but This should be a good option for a higher-class handheld as well when you want a good size screen. I'm also very partial to Linux on low-end SOC's as well they really lack the power for a good android experience imo at least.

[@deadfred69]

Linux is coming (Amberelec) and the manufacturer wanted it to ship that way but unfortunately it shipped with 32bit android. They are also working on 64bit Android.

[@kayeoffers4339]

i'm getting triggered by that time when I tried ordering the E6 2x from different sellers, and getting empty bags lol

[@CellPhish]

We could use a lineage build for this. Maybe Gamma will take a crack at it

[@hyperplayrpg]

Love the karaoke, Deadfred!

[@S1eepy1]

Amazing performance and opening!!,,,🥳
