I saw this initially on his YouTube channel, but then I also saw him post his video directly to The Old Place. Asked on his YouTube if he would consider posting to some other alternatives alongside The Old Place like kbin/lemmy and that I was doing light summaries of his videos with links to them on YouTube.
Brief Summary (please watch his video and like and subscribe if you like his content and want to see and hear everything):
— Very surprising, good quality device from PowKiddy. Would be great value from any company but doubly so from them. The new value king!
— Weak chip, but plays as expected (and sometimes better than expected). Most N64, NDS, PSP, and DC are playable, even upscaled!
— Face controls are good. Sticks are of the “better for portability, not as good for playing” switch variety.
— Lots of very clicky/loud buttons, and the split volume buttons are poorly positioned.
— Very smudgy finish.
— Amazing screen for the price. Trounces other similarly priced (and even doubly priced) competitors.
— Has more than expected ports (two usb-c; is safe to use with fast charging, though it will charge at same speed; hdmi out; great quality headphone port; 2 micro sd slots) and features (BT, Wifi)
— Must replace OS immediately due to oopsie from PowKiddy (but it is very easy and supported by the CFW community)
Please go watch another great video from Russ!
Good review as always.
