As expected, the GPD XP can handle a variety of Android games comfortably. It is also very competent at emulation, being capable of handling GameCube, PSP games, and even the odd Wii and PS2 game here and there. [19/10/2021 Update]: GPD XP Release Date, GPD XP Unboxing, and more… Another problem with the design is that the speakers are not in the right place and the sound is somewhat muffled. The volume buttons are very pushed together, so it will take some time to get it right when you want to adjust it. There will be crashes, Wi-Fi drops, and other problems that you’ll encounter. There are some people working on solutions to these problems, as there is a dedicated community of people who love this device.

GPD claim a maximum size of 2TB, but seeing as how 2TB microSD cards do not even exist (on the consumer market) at the time of writing, the validity of the claim is anyone’s guess. Operating System/Firmware Overall, this feels like a handheld that should be a lot better than it is. For our average-sized hands, it plays smoothly, the triggers are well-located, and everything is easy to access. The GPD XD Plus excels at Android gaming. It can handle the latest games such as Call of Duty: Mobile and favourites such as Space Marshals and Stranger Things: The Game. There is a vast library of games to play on the Google Play Store which you have full access to.

Update: GPD have confirmed that the launcher is the “GPD Metro UI” launcher. Likely to be extremely similar if not identical to the launcher seen in the XD Plus/ Personally we’re not a fan of this, but if the system is as open to modification as you would expect an Android handheld to be, you should be able to install an alternative launcher. It is a great option for those who vacation frequently. It has a wide number of personalization options, including different colors. We’ve done some interpretation however, as some phrases did not translate very well! GPD XP Screen Specifications Type The LCD is also very nice. Although only 720p, the colours are very vivid and viewing angles are exceptional in every direction. It’s capacitive with a glass front, and it’s every bit as responsive as you’d expect from a modern day phone. There is no blueish hue to the screen either, which is something I’ve noticed in cheaper panels. CLEANROM / LINEAGE OS 17.1

If you’re reading this breaking news article while walking across a train line or crossing a road, then find somewhere safe to sit and take a load off because the content of this story could change retro gaming forever! Performance is solid and there’s enough storage on the 32GB model to hold thousands of titles. The physical controls are great too, and the added bonus is that they enrich a great many Android games that support external pads and controllers. For those that don’t, the unit’s built-in button mapping software neatly fills the gap. IMPORTANT:This guide is for the GPD XD+ (Plus) only, NOT the GPD XD. Do not attempt to install this on the GPD XD as it may cause irreversible damage to the device! Really, it takes a step up from some of the other handhelds that just aren’t all that great to play, even if they look good. The second module is the “MOBA Controller Module”. It is a minimalist attachment that essentially just serves as a cap to protect the slot, granting unfettered access to the touch screen.If the OS stays current and the gameplay smooth, then this will be an absolute beauty to play. The original XD Plus came with MT8176+PowerVR Hexa-core processor, 4GB RAM and 32Gb Storage, which twinned with the right OS would make for the kind of super-smooth play that dreams are made of. We think that we might see the RAM increased to 8GB as stated above if the info we have is true and the storage increased to at least 64GB for holding all of your favourite titles. Console Emulation Edit: In the few weeks I've owned this thing, I've fallen in love with it. I now understand the keymapper button which allows you to bind touch controls to the physical buttons, thus making me far more formiddable in PUBG mobile. I'm loving the ability to pause any singleplayer title by closing the lid and resuming later, which means this device has been permanently *with* me for every long shopping outing, every line I've waited through, every slow phone call, and it's even helped me out of a jam or two at work. The software should now connect and begin the firmware update procedure. DO NOT REMOVE ANY CABLES OR CLOSE THE SOFTWARE.
