A note on LineageOS vs Stock Android 11 Game Performance: No discernable difference to me currently, we'll see what Black Seraph comes up with in his new build. Update on Streaming: RetroGameCorps also confirmed streaming issues, L2/R2 does not map in GamePass. Do not pick this up for game streaming. 😅

I loved my GPD XD. I hope other companies like AYN or Retroid eventually make their own clamshells. It's really such a nice form factor. And what about a clamshell with a second screen like the 3DS :O? I think Android support for multiple screens has improved a lot, especially since foldable phones have become popular.

Oh wow, I've been looking for a front end that can display a game list by genre (for when you feel like playing a certain type of game but don't exactly have a specific game in mind). I've never ran into RESET Collection until I've watched this video. Thank you. 👌

I love my gpd xd+. I used it nearly every days ror the last 4/5 years. I fixed the bronken hinge, broken shoulder connectors, changed the screen, changed the battery... Was ready to pull the trigger on the x18s ultra, but the review makes me reconsider my choice! Guess i'll just buy some more spare parts!

I just ordered this over the anbernic 505 and 405. I had a switch lite and not a fan of the design. I love the clamshell design it is like having an android laptop in your pocket!

I got this and 2 protective screen for 130USD including shipping fees and should be arriving in 2 weeks time. I was looking forward to it but now that I see this, I'm starting to feel a bit down ngl. My biggest concern is the buttons and the d-pad since I prefer using it over the analog stick. Although I could've gotten other devices, I chose this one instead since clamshell is my favorite design so it's sad how Powkiddy underachieved with this device.

The Odin Lite isn't widely available for purchase. Plus the Unisoc T618 is still a pretty reasonable budget option for Android Emulation. Personally I'd highly recommend you jump on the [👟+⭐+ter] (Yes I had to type it like this) campaign for the Pimax Portal now. Once I get my hands on this I'm done with Android Handhelds for the next 8 - 10 years. Android Handhelds are way too disposable for my taste.

Not really impressive enough to stand out imo, that chip is only going to play a bit of gb & ps2 so you back to the typical systems that are supported by a lot of the cheaper handhelds. Can’t see the upcoming handhelds with this chip being game changers.
