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,
Check it out!
Yesterday, I decided to try out Microsoft Launcher app on my Powkiddy X18, Android portable game console. Also, install Microsoft News and even the OneNote app. The outlook app didn't work though. I was looking forward to using it to check my emails on the X18.
Microsoft launcher makes my X18 look a little bit nicer and more organized. The original launcher kinda ugly and you have to go through several pages just to find your app or games. With Microsoft launcher, everything is in one place.

I basically set it up like my Samsung Android phone. I don't like multiple windows or sections. I prefer the apps and games all in one window. But, I put the common apps I use like Whatsapp, Yahoo Mail, and social media like Facebook and Twitter on the main page.
I don't put everything on the main page like the Apple iPhone. It looks so cluttery. I don't see the point of having your main page fill with so many icons and many windows when it's the same thing as when you swipe up to look at all the apps.

Anyway, I also discover that since the Powkiddy X18 is using android, you can also download and use Whatsapp. The problem is of course that the X18 is NOT a phone. It doesn't have a sim card slot and also a camera. Without a camera, you can't do video calls. Which is a bummer.
I wonder though if I can add an external camera to it. I have never heard of anyone doing that. I assume I'll need software to recognize it. Of course, normal Android tablets or phones have them. I remember my Razer gaming phone front camera having constant software problems back then.

When I'm at home, I use Whatsapp on my computer. I think, now you can even use WhatsApp to video call on your computer if you have a camera. I distinctly remember you can't do that before. I always wonder why. But, last week, I saw the icon and try video-call my nephew and it works!
Since I have the Powkiddy X18, I use my 2nd phone number to activate the Whatsapp on it. So, now I can exclusively use it to msg my family and close friend. The problem is, it's not a phone and I can't add or save their numbers to the X18.

I end up having to msg my family on my main phone to Whatsapp me on my 2nd phone number. Once, they msg me, I can then use the X18 to contact them. But, like I've said, I can't save their contact numbers on the X18. I'm not sure if I revert back the account to the phone if the records are still there.
Surprisingly, I can send voice msg and even call them up on my X18. I didn't know there's a mic. In fact, you can't see it. I think it's inside the speaker. Or, can you use the speaker as a mic? Lol. Well, now I can also use the gaming console as a wifi phone. Pretty cool!
Too bad, there's no camera. It'll be fun to video-call people using the X18. The X18 would have been a complete system for gaming and communication system. Although, with its controller, it'll be kind of weird. The GPD and the Powkiddy X18 are definitely great products. They'll just need to add a few more features to make it an all-rounder.
