GPD XD Plus Android Foldable Handheld Game Console

GPD XD Plus [Official distributor, Latest HW & Most Stable Update] Foldable Handheld Game Consoles 5" Touchscreen, Android 7.0 Fast Mediatek MT8176 Hexa-core 2.1GHz CPU, 4GB RAM/32GB ROM

Hey guys,

Quick promo!

I told you guys that I was waiting for my Android 10.0 OS 10.1 Inch tablet with keyboard to arrive but, it seems to disappear to nowhere. Luckily, I managed to cancel the order and the seller accepted it without any problem.

I was definitely disappointed as I was planning to test how good it is as a laptop replacement. Frankly, looking at the specs, it seems too good to be true. It offers 10GB RAM and 512GB rom for storage all just for $200+?

I look around if there's any other tablet offer that interests me but to no avail. Today, while browsing through the products, I saw the GPD XD Plus. I've seen this before as it's part of the GPD line of product offers. But, I wasn't really interested. 

I'm not interested in Android gaming and also I already have tons of retro gaming consoles. But, then I thought, hey, can I install Termux (wiki) and then Ubuntu Linux on it via Andronix? If the GPD+ has Bluetooth, maybe I can pair and use a keyboard and mouse too.

Again, I can use this Android gaming console like a laptop. If only they had better specs. Also, would be cool if they put another screen below or a touchpad. That'll be pretty useful to move around the menu and screen.

The screen is only 5 inch but you can link it to a Tv or an external monitor. So, you can use it on the go and also set it up at home like an entertainment system. You can listen to music, watch youtube, or social media. And I definitely can check my emails, unlike my Nintendo Switch lite.

The difference between the GPD XD Plus and GPD MicroPC is the price and the OS aka operating system. Like I've said before if you want something light, Android is the way to go. Of course, you can't play your collection of STEAM games.

If I want something that can play PC games, I'll go for the GPD WIN MAX. That'll be my ultimate mini gaming laptop on the go. The best thing is that it's also a laptop but with an integrated controller. You can use it for school or for work.

The GPD XD Plus will suffice for a cheap budget. I actually do like some Android games especially those that have controller support. I also have tons of retro games collections. I also like that I can watch youtube on it. Now, you can't watch youtube on a 3DS or PS Vita. Which kinda sucks.

I can also watch youtube on my Nintendo Switch lite but besides gaming, it's the only thing that I can do on it. I like a device that can do it all. Some may just want a gaming console but I find that very limiting. Also, I like to try out stuff if I could.

One guy (I'm assuming) commented on my youtube video that he likes that I always seem to think outside the box. While other so-called 'influencers' mostly promote products, I practically play with it and try out stuff on it like adding a keyboard and mouse which nobody seems to think of.

Like I've said before, I don't like limiting a product to just one way of using it. People nowadays multi-task. People just don't game on their device but as a complete entertainment and social media system. Granted, the cost might affect the final product. 

I also see that product designing might be affected too. Like, adding a second screen or a camera for video calling. How bout using a USB c instead for power and connecting accessories? You can definitely improve the GPD XD Plus but will it increase the pricing?

Let's see if there's an evolution of the product!
