Powkiddy X18 - Shadow Fight 3 gameplay

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The Powkiddy X18 is definitely not as powerful as my Samsung Note 10+. Its specs are CPU: MTK 8163, quad-core A53 64-bit processor 1.3GHz. Memory: 2GDDR3+16GB EMMC. It also has a 5000mAh battery. Which last me a couple of hours of usage.

Games like PUBG and Call of Duty mobile don't run that well on the X18. Although, I haven't tried it out again after I've installed clean Rom yesterday. When I was using the stock ROM, pubg mobile downloaded from Apkpure.com was really bad. So bad, I deleted it.

The good thing is that my favorite Zombie fps shooter games by Madfingers run smoothly on it. I don't really like many Android games, mostly because they don't have controller support. But, there are definitely some gems. A game like Shadow Fight 3.

I actually wonder if I can play the game as when I was using the stock Rom, I couldn't play without the Google play service. After I finally managed to install the clean ROM and the touchscreen works (it didn't work at first) I can play it now.

The Shadow Fight 3 can definitely be played with nice graphics and smooth gameplay. But, it loads pretty slow in between duels. And, the ability to remaps the buttons and play with the integrated controller is definitely a plus. Unlike the hassle, if you want to play with a controller on the mobile.

My favorite rally racing game, Rush Rally 3 also plays smoothly on the Powkiddy X18. I also love playing Need for Speed Most Wanted on it. You can play Asphalt 9 Legends but the lowered graphics are really disappointing. That's why I think, the GPD XD Plus, specs-wise, is much better.

The difference in specs also means, there will be a difference in price. Obviously, I can't compare it to my Samsung Note 10+ as it's almost 3-4 times the price. That's probably why the manufacturer had to consider if they want to add or improve anything on it.

Hopefully, when parts become cheaper, I'll like them to improve on the CPU and the GPU. At least good enough to play PUBG or Call of Duty mobile smoothly. They're pretty much the benchmarks of mobile gaming. A better joystick will be good too as the current one 'head' feels kinda flat.

Also, maybe add a camera or create a 4G or 5G version as most Android games need you to have internet access. Part of the reason why I hate Android games. I want the camera because I found out you can use Whatsapp and send voice messages or voice calls on the X18!

Imagine, using this to video calls your friend. I've actually been using it to message my family and friends. Even without the sim card (no sim card slot), you can connect to your Whatsapp account if you have an extra mobile account number. Pretty cool!

You can even use it as a mini Android laptop. You can check your emails, do social media, use it for taking notes in school, or whatever. I actually bought it because I want to use the Termux app. I can install Ubuntu 20 and use its terminal. Want a bigger screen? Use HDMI to link to your Tv or monitor.

The Powkiddy X18 at a cheap price is definitely one of the best Android devices with an integrated controller. A powerhouse for game and entertainment/social media console. Get it if you haven't!

Powkiddy x18 - finally clean rom installed and touchscreen works!

Powkiddy x18 - finally clean rom installed and touchscreen works!

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! I managed to flash a new clean ROM firmware to my Powkiddy X18, and the touchscreen works too. All this after a few days of reading, downloading, re-flashing, and swearing XXX. All thanks to Taki Udon, ToToy Video PH, and the community

Frankly, I had to watch a couple of videos and read the information on the website to finally understand what the heck I was doing. There was a certain part that I didn't understand, rooting, which I had never done before, and also the flashing tool.

The good thing about being late to the party is that, by the time everyone has already cleared the kinks out and all you have to do is follow the line or tips. Of course, you need to understand what is actually going on, or you'll follow blindly into the pit!

For one thing, I didn't know how to root my Android system. Since I've never done it. It's actually much easier now. For this case, you need the Magisk app. It's not available on the Google Play Store. But you can download the link2SD app there. Which needs root grant access.

You need to watch the Taki Udon and ToToy video guide first if you want to learn to flash the firmware that also comes with the Google Play Store. The Powkiddy X18 original stock doesn't come with it. That's why people want to flash a clean rom.

The good news is that there are links to the flashing tool, the firmware, and the rooted boot.img file in their description. The rooted boot.img link on ToToy is important, contributed by his viewer, because some people have a problem with the touchscreen that doesn't work after flashing.

The procedure is to download the software zip file from the Taki Udon channel, extract it, and open the flashing tool. You need to find the firmware and add it to the flashing tool. After that, you need to click the boot directory and add the rooted boot image that you downloaded from the Totoy channel. 

I skipped the part where you backed up your X18 stock rom. Too cumbersome for me. But, of course, it's advisable to do it. If anything goes wrong, at least you can flash back to the original stock. In any case, I found a website that has the original X18 stock rom. So, if you fck it up. Just go here. Lol.

Make sure you change to the Firmware upgrade and click 'Download'. Only then, you plug in your X18, which should have been switched off. For some reason, my computer and older laptop couldn't recognize my X18. Even though I have installed the Mediatek USB driver.

When I finally decide to use my latest HP laptop, the flashing tool finally recognizes my X18 and flashes the firmware. Now, my Powkiddy X18 runs Android OS 7.0 with the Google Play Store. And, thanks to the rooted boot img, my touchscreen works too.

By the way, since you use the rooted boot image file, your Powkiddy X18 will already be rooted once you boot into the system. So, when you want to use the link2SD (refer to Taki's video), it'll automatically try to open and install Magisk. It will also automatically ask you to grant root access.

Just agree to the request. You'll have to refer to the Taki video on this. I'll have to re-download all the games and apps that were lost during the flashing. I've been playing with the X18 before flashing the clean rom, and while the touchscreen didn't work.

Now that the touchscreen works again, I can start downloading again and don't have to think about flashing. It's time to enjoy the X18 for Android and Retro gaming and even use it as a mini Android laptop. The flexibility is what attracts me to it.

Thanks again to Taki, Totoy, and the Powkiddy X18 community for the good work!

Project Linda Razer Phone Laptop Dock CES 2018

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 128 GB | US Version Smartphone | Pro-Grade Camera, 30X Space Zoom, Night Mode | Cloud Navy

Hey guys,

Check it out!

CES 2018, Razer showed their latest "Project, Linda". A laptop dock that can be used with their Razer Phone. Now, they have close their Razer Phone project and forget about project Linda. With all the big talks on joining the mobile market, they folded just after the release of the Razer Phone 2.

Disappointed is an understatement. I actually bought their CNY, Gold version Razer phone. I really hope Project Linda would be a reality. Finally, our phone has become as powerful as a laptop. And, we literally can use it as a laptop with Project Linda.

I was pretty pumped up when I got the Razer phone. It was actually a pretty good phone. Though, I should at least waited for the Razer Phone 2. I love the design, which is kinda Blackberry-ish. Pretty slim with a finger or thumbprint sensor on the right side.

For some reason, the touchscreen and front camera would always give me problems. I end up selling it off and got the Samsung S10+ instead. My last Samsung phone was the S3. I didn't really like it before because I hated Android back then. Now, I simply love them!

Now, my current phone is the Samsung Note 10+. I actually sold my S10+ and bought the Note 10+ because of the S Pen. The S Pen is much better now because you can also use it to take a selfie, control your screen with gestures, and of course for writing or drawing.

Okay, why exactly am I talking about the Samsung phone in this post about Razer, Project Linda? Because I'm hoping (praying) that Samsung or a third party will create something like Project Linda but for the Samsung phone.

I love Samsung Dex. I even bought a Dex Pad, so that I can connect my Samsung phone to a portable monitor and use it as a laptop or desktop. Nowadays, you can just connect with a USB C cable. But, I prefer a Dex pad because it comes with a cooling fan.

Samsung should make a lap dock for their mobile phone because their phone is getting more and more powerful. Especially, with their latest Exynos 2100 CPU and Mali G78 GPU for mobile gaming. With that kind of power, would be great be using it as an Android laptop with a keyboard and mouse.

I've tried using the phone as the main computer with Samsung dex and Dex pad but unless it's your main computer, it's kinda a hassle to take out your mouse and keyboard, set them up, and then keep it again once you're done. 

Having that experience, that's why an all-in-one lap dock will be very nifty. All you have to do is take out the lap dock, dock in your phone and start using it. The best thing is that you can charge it at the same time. Although, I feel there should be a cooling fan below the phone cause it can get really hot!

If ever Samsung wants to emulate Project Linda, they should name it Project Sarah. Get it? Sarah, S for Samsung? Anyway, there's actually a concept art of a Dexbook which I got from a site and make a video. You can check it out here. Would be cool if they decide to make it into a reality.

Razer Phone - Retroarch retro games xbox one controller gameplay

Razer Phone-120 Hz Ultra Motion Display-65GB Memory-8GB RAM-Dual Camera-Dual Front-Facing Speakers

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been using my Razer Phone as a daily driver for a week or two and beside the hiccups that I had on the first day, this phone hadn't much problem since then. It's basically an android device, so I installed my two favorite apps, kodi and retroarch.

Kodi and Retroarch runs really well without any noticeable problem. Today, I connected my xbox one controller to my razer phone and tried playing some retro games. You need to change some settings on retroarch for the controller to work.

Watch the video for demo gameplay!

There are some games that doesn't work. But, at least some of my favorite snes games do. I can play using the on screen control or with my xbox one controller. Which is way much better. Definitely, the Razer phone is very versatile.

I'm also happy that now, it's very easy to connect an xbox controller to your android phone. You also don't have to meddle with any apps or settings. A couple years back, this wouldn't have been possible!

Now, if only it is as powerful as the Nintendo switch. If they can make this a little bigger (6 inch maybe?) with a little more powerful processor that can play optimized android version triple AAA games, mobile phone gaming might really take off!

The fact, that you can use the xbox one controller to play mobile phone games are really enticing too. We all carry our phone everywhere. And, you just need to bring the xbox controller for extra gaming comfort.

Someone can also invent something like the switch controller battery pack casing. If you game too long , you'll probably use up the battery pretty fast. What's the use of a phone if you can't use it. It's a surprise that no tech company have manage to improve the battery power till today.

Razer have recently demo a product that you can fix your razer phone into and use as a laptop. Pretty interesting. Although, it would have been better just getting a razer stealth. It might work though as an android laptop. And, if the price isn't too expensive!

An android laptop, powered by your Razer phone might be useful to use. If you need to work on some files or data. Having a bigger screen and a keyboard is a plus. I use google excel and check my email often. If i'm away from my pc, it'll be a quick way to work on my stuff online.

Of course, it'll be more fun to play some android games on a bigger screen too. I like to link my whatsapp to my pc so chatting using the keyboard will be much faster and easier. In the end though, it'll depend on the pricing. Too see if it's really worth it!

The Razer Phone, have much potential in term of as a platform for mobile gaming, light work and multimedia consumptions. Android, security is getting a serious look and better apps are made for it. Been a long way for it to get this far!

Anyway, get a Razer phone from the link below:

Get an xbox one controller from the link below:

Xbox Wireless Controller - Black



Xbox Wireless Controller - Minecraft Creeper



Xbox One S Wireless Controller - Soft Touch Design - Added Grip for Long Gaming Sessions - Multiple Colors Available (Scary Party)



Xbox One Special Edition Armed Forces Wireless Controller



Xbox Wireless Controller - Winter Forces Special Edition

For now, the razer phone is a worthwhile purchased for me. And, if Razer decide to sell the laptop extension for the phone, I might want to get it. I'll update on my blog if that ever happened. Razer, if you're reading this post, sponsor me!
