 Okay, so courtesy of the same crazy bastards that brought us that tiny little Windows based gaming machine We have got this should be one of the first units as far as I know the GPD XD plus and if you're wondering was that intentional the answer is yes Yes it was and This is actually the least bizarre thing about the box because I don't know what the hell that is supposed to mean When you smile the world loves him when you laugh the world fears him. Maybe it's a riddle Maybe it's some kind of proverb Maybe it just was Random words from a dictionary like this It's hard to tell but what I do know is that this thing looks pretty freaking cool It's an Android based gaming device and we are gonna put it through the paces After I tell you about tunnel bear the easy to use VPN app that makes it so people can enjoy a more open Internet to try tunnel bear for free go to tunnel bear comm slash LTT All right, first things first, let's get this baby fired up So it's pretty similar in terms of the actual construction of it to the original GPD XD Which is also an Android based gaming device But they have made some upgrades under the hood to make it a little bit more robust So first let's run through it just for those of you who aren't familiar Bottoms pretty plain. You've got an R1 R2 L1 and L2 that for whatever reason all of these are upside down So you're apparently supposed to look at them this way, okay sure It's got a headphone jack, which you cannot take for granted these days It's got a mini HDMI output that is HDMI 2.0 They say in the specs, but then they also say HDMI 2.0 max 2560 by 1600 resolution. Maybe it's a software limitation Micro USB still for charging so that's how you can tell there were a couple things They did not update about the chassis and micro SD other than that we've got This is not turning on what's going on? Oh hey there it goes okay? So we've got a couple of joysticks that are actually not too shabby like as far as low-profile joysticks go That's not bad. We've got an L3 and an R3 volume up volume down Let's make some adjustments there there we go multitask button. We've got whatever this button does We've got whatever this button does Not clear not clear what this button does start select back home Which and we've got a d-pad and actually some not bad buttons here as well now challenge number one Challenge number one for me is that it ships in Chinese Which has some what appear to be some like Pirated ass games on it. I don't know what Mupen 64 plus is I don't know what that says something about detected problem. Oh, that's in English Wasn't taking it for granted so it apparently ships with this wow that is some pretty sketch stuff right there But hey, let's try it out right always Yoshi if you pick anyone other than Yoshi in Mario 64 then you suck or you're playing with me because I would have worked Pretty hard to snipe Yoshi Oh, I'm dropping a couple frames here, but it's actually not too bad So I don't know why that is right now. I haven't actually obviously spent a lot of time with it I don't know if there's any tuning that I can do I really got to get my Mario Kart game on here because this is not pretty to watch come in seven Say I'm not a game streamer. I'm not experienced with like trying to play the game while talking Eat that Luigi. Thank you. Oh that drift go away toad you suck You suck everything about you sucks. Oh Oh, oh terrible terrible terrible terrible. Oh No Okay, so that's enough Lupin Lupin kart 64 here. Let's have a look at some of the other stuff. They got going on here apparently wow This thing is like pirated a f Okay If this thing manages to impress me in Super Mario World Then they have a good product on their hands here because I have I have not had a great Experience with Super Mario World on Android emulators so far And I'm pretty sensitive to input lag in this game, so let's have a look here trust me I'm actually pretty good at this game There we go just the buttons are reversed. Oh Wow the button mapping Oh Right okay, where are the settings for this emulator? Yeah, this is Chinese is all hell also the input lag is not great Something's not playable. It's not playable I don't know if it's in the emulators themselves or if it's in the manufacturers of devices But there's a lot of room to improve this experience and some people like if you're super basic then I guess it's fine But oh they've only got one PS one they've only got one thing here Seibu kai had sue kai had sue Sure, let's go with difficult. I'm sure this thing is gonna kick my ass Wait Well, I don't know what the buttons do Brandon ah Oh, okay, so we've got the like electricity whip now That's pretty dope Yeah, you eat shit you eat shit you can eat shit too. Thank you. Thank you electricity whip loving it So overall performance in the included emulators is actually pretty good and 64 we struggled a little bit but Super Famicom The joysticks feel good still a d-pad is actually pretty good It's hard to find a decent d-pad these days and the buttons are reasonably clicky all Considering like how low profile the whole thing feels in terms of performance they've got some decent specs under the hood on this thing So it's a media tech 81 76 4 gigs of RAM. They're using a power VR GX 2650 they've upgraded the storage to emmc 5.0 So launch times actually feel pretty darn snappy about as good as you can expect for a device That's you know this kind of a cost but so far. I have one small problem still I can't figure out how to get out of this interface this like Metro UI type thing and I can't figure out how to change the language So I have to call in a specialist here Wait, oh I look ugly now. Okay. I can't tell the difference That's one day. I'm gonna forget how to speak Chinese. You know, I can't speak Chinese. You're not gonna forget. Oh There we go, so we can change the launcher in those settings so this is a more conventional Android launcher. Here's all your apps What's that? Yes. Yeah, it's fine. Okay Okay, so can we change the language to English? Oh Yeah, you can change it. Does it say change to English in Chinese? Because normally it says it in the yeah. Oh Oh, there we go English, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you So overall impressions now that I've got it running in English Actually, not a bad little device. There's still a lot of stuff that's not translated to be very clear I mean look at this like all the game names under the emulator menu are still in Chinese for the Super Famicom same for the n64 like To be clear. I would prefer if there was something like a gen 2 of an Nvidia shield But for the price you're paying it's not bad If you're willing to go and like manually add Google Play services and the Google Play store and all that stuff because the hardware is pretty good It's got a 6,000 milliamp hour battery So whether you're running Android games, which should run better than last gen or whether you're running emulators which mostly should run better than last gen but certain ones like Nintendo dolphin or Wii emulators won't run because they require a 64-bit processor The screen is actually surprisingly good. So it's a 720p screen, which personally I think is fine for a size like this It's IPS it supports 5-point multi-touch the storage I mentioned before is 32 gigs and it's expandable via micro SD So I don't think you're gonna find yourself disappointed if you're looking for a little device to play casual games and emulators on that you can throw in your pocket carry around with you not worry too much about busting up because I don't think it's gonna be that expensive Speaking of not being that expensive, Ting, the mobile carrier that puts customer satisfaction first With Ting, you do not get put in a robot customer service rep tree Instead you speak directly to a human if you have any issues and you do not pay a premium for that kind of service The average Ting bill is just 23 bucks a month per device and that's because you only pay for exactly the air time that you use And they've got new lower mobile data rates as well The best part about Ting is you don't have to take a leap of faith You just head over to linus.ting.com and use their savings calculator Plug in your last couple of months of bills to find out if you'll save on Ting And the best part is if you use our link which we've got in the video description you will save 25 bucks on your first bill Or you can get 25 bucks towards a new device so go check it out now So thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video you can hit that button if you liked it Hit like, get subscribed, maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description Also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one as well as our community forum which you should totally join
