Ended up ordering one of these because I collect bootleg emulation machines and the IPS display and oddly high-end CPU for something like this sold me on it over cheaping out and getting an X19 Thanks for having an honest review that didn't just trash it for an entire video like a lot of people that expect $70 bootleg machines to run like several hundred dollar pocket emulators do with these kind of units
With Retroarch you can just do the input commands of the XBOX controller and save it. No big deal buddy! You can connect every USB controller to it with Retroarch and registrate the inputs of the controller and save it so next time it automaticly sees it.
PSP+N64+Dreamcast+Android gaming running at 60fps is that too much to ask for? Its 2020 already some company should get this correct by now! All the other consoles that dont demand as much can all be emulated on pretty much any smartphone. China manufacturers, I hope you're reading the comments. I gotta admit though 7" screen is so exciting. Does an 8" tablet with telescopic controller do the trick these days?
I use an older Galaxy Tab S 8.4 specifically set up for retro gaming only and have a few telescopic controllers and yeah, it does work fine and ofcourse you have the opion to use your controller on other devices but you know, theres something to be said for all in one units that have built in controls and I still prefer them. Have a JXD S7800b with a faulty touchscreen which has a 7" screen so always on the looked out for another decent handheld with a 7" screen. The X2 looked good even if limited to PS1 but it also has some shortcomings so not sure yet. Or I was thinking of the X15 with its 5.5" screen, runs a closed android rom but a clean rom can be flashed. Or maybe Ill try and wait a little longer and see what else comes out in the coming months.
the reason why the controllers didn't work ingame is because you'd have to setup the controller for that core from what i remember of retroarch. i bet this would work so much better if you took off there crap version of retroarch and just put the default retroarch on it.
Looks like a handheld I'd like except for the single L/R buttons. Love the big screen. TV hookup doesn't matter...I have a Pi4 for that. If they add a second set of triggers, I'm in.
Nice review! Previous non-Android Powkiddy handhelds could not do SNES, GENESIS and Playstation so this is a huge step up! I also like the fact that it could be used as a portable media player for video and audio files. The HDMI to TV mode, I will be using when I'm playing videos. I plan to load lots movies and shows after loading up my roms library so I'll be purchasing a 500GB sd card for this! I've been waiting for Powkiddy to have a console like this for quite some time (able to play SNES and GENESIS properly). I also want the black one. I already have the Powkiddy X16 and the Powkiddy RS-11 and I like them for what they can handle: GBA, GB, GBC and NES. I've installed 500GB sd cards to my other Powkiddy handhelds as well.
I'll admit that I recently bought one of these. It should arrive soon. What I didn't understand is why the model with the switch controller colours was £20 more than the all black one I bought. I think at the cheaper price it's OK. But as we've seen, not without flaws.
Great video probably the best Switch clone to date..now for a real heavyweight battle what are your early impressions of the Powkiddy A12 and the Pandora Box DX Mini Arcades They both look awesome but I have my reservations about the wiggle stick
Hello. Do you already have knowledge about the PowKiddy X20 with 5" IPS? What would you recommend as an alternative, the X2 with IPS or X16/X19 without IPS? Many Thanks and best regards.
Tbh with you i wanna thank you for saving my wallet i was curious on getting it and scared at the same time but thank goodness for your help and time you save my wallet literally was gonna press confirm but at the right time phew also i decided to get the powkiddy X15 shes a really naughty system puuuurfection like you bro love and likes to you ❤👍.
Thank you for this review! Once again with Powkiddy, the hardware is awesome, but the software is ... buggy and already outdated. Unfortunatly, they don't provide any SDK. As a developper, it's kind of frustrating, I even contacted them about a potential SDK, but they don't reply, what a pitty...
@@iaincowell9747 SDK is Software Development Kit. It's a set of programs, documentation, code exemple, that will let you develop any program for the device.
If you take a look at Sonic Love yt channel he has some long gameplay testing vids of various systems. His most recent one shows it can run N64 but the emulator is not on the front end. You have to launch roms through the system folder, however emulation isnt very good at the moment but he mentioned Powkiddy is working on debugging it so there could be firmware update that has the N64 emu in the front and could run better as well. Boxart can be added too for this system as well. The price isnt bad considering the size and quality of the screen on this one. No L2 or R2 for PSX but how many PSX games use those? The TV out issue doesnt bother me personally as I dont use my handhelds for the TV out function. If true that it has 'only' 256MB RAM it still seems to run everything it claims to very good, including PSX. My hacked SNES classic has 256MB RAM and runs PSX just fine so… Im still considering this cause the price is good for what it offers, or the X15 as being android you can do a lot more with it. But again, its also more expensive. Thanks and stay safe all.
The PS2 handheld exists and is essentially a PS2 guts inside a handheld. So a 100% compatibility and framerate, but with one problem. Expensive as hell. It would be way quicker to have something handling Gamecube games
Second-gen 3D consoles take so much horsepower with even a Snapdragon 865 being a big laggy so that would be quite a feat for make a sub--$100 bootleg that runs them
I want buy one alliexpres retro handheld game. Wich one is the best choice? Not too high price... but not is the cheeper price x19 or more? This device(x2) really good but this is too expensive for me :/
Why cant they get it right and just make a penultimate handheld device instead of making so many different crappy versions? I gotta give it to Wicked Gamer for the honest review here. I was hoping this model would be one of the better Powkiddy's out there, I was wrong. No D Pad and knowing the bad external controller support out there was a huge disappointment for me. If I were Powkiddy, its back to the drawing board for me and instead of wasting so much time and money on these inferior models, just get it right with 1 model jesus christ.
"Penultimate" actually means "almost ultimate", which is exactly what this is. They'll never make a perfect model device, because they want you to buy the next model that comes out.
So far I know it is, and it runs with Retro Arch. Did not manage to get into the main system. You can request quick retro arch menu ... Quick Load / Save - 3:32
If anybody ordered this through Aliexpress, how long did you have to wait? I ordered it and it shipped back at the end of May, early June and I still haven’t gotten it yet.
Not the answer to your question but I remember when I ordered a god of war limited edition psp on ebay from a Chinese seller. I had to wait 30 days after payment for them to finally ship. Then I waited another week for it to arrive in the mail. That was the longest I've had to wait for a package.
Andrew Whitfield- what's your thoughts on this device from a developer standpoint?.. recently picked up and ldk game and absolutely love it. Still in search for something droid/Linux based that's not the normal mobile phone+bt/USB controller combo. This device with some tweaks to the software looks promising at least... Better than previous models (x12/16)
@@tylerstarkey9141 If you want the truth I'd pass and buy something serviceable. I am not a fan of this device and the many like it. I have been burnt so bad with hardware like this from Linux and Android devices. For example there are so many things omitted such as but not limited to proper recovery, adb and or the ability of adb, ssh, or alike. No official updates, update images, or recovery images available or ever released. If you go with the new Odroid you really covered on all that. The bad taste I have is left from my involvement with a little know company Viaplay. I ended up with a bunch of great hardware to run Android that cannot be recovered unless I modify the hardware, write an Android image, and finish everything they skipped. Buying stuff like the X2 is fine as long as you look at it like an inferior short term investment, or acknowledge it's a cash grab going in.
I wonder if the version of retroarch it uses (seems a cut down version from what Ive seen so far) has an overlay option setting? Then perhaps you could use a scanline image as the overlay.
Powkiddy, you were so close! Please get it right. I think that some of us are willing on spending $100-$150 on a decent 7" gaming handheld. Besides fixing the controls and the HDMI out, make it play Dreamcast and PSP and you would have an awesome gadget that would sell well. Look at GPD. They make decent handhelds and people are willing to pay good money for them. Think big. Don't settle for mediocre products. Make great handhelds and you will make much more money in the end. Don't you want to make more money? As it stands, I won't be buying this although I really was considering it. Too bad!
@prince Its actually capable of running N64 even though theres no N64 in the front end (you can launch N64 roms through the folder system) but its not running them very well. Ive heard various vids saying Powkiddy is working on debugging it so a future firmware update may be available with the N64 emu in the front, however take all this with a pinch of salt.
This bad boy looks....GREAT?? Wow! 🤩. Edit: if they would only add a damn dpad and a decent stick this would be a total winner!!!! Why can’t they give it decent controls?
Sonic Love I think is his channel. He showed this off and it seemed to be working well enough. I am not sure if he just didn't cover this properly or what but this is very different to his videos. I mean he wasn't like Retro Dodo and claimed things untrue. However, this one really seemed to make me feel interested in it. Makes me glad i have my X15 coming though. Makes me sad that another device is horrible garbage. I thought the analog sticks which are like the ones from the Nintendo DS series of handhelds was good the buttons seemed ok. I dunno. I dunno. For now the flashed X15 seems the best.
Did see that channel.. thanks will look into it. Maybe mine had problems with the software. Problem I found like the HDMI and Second controller .. where weird.
I have a JXD S7800b,its actually a good device IF everything works properly, mine had touch screen issues from day one. To bad you cant put on at least android 7 either. And so Im the lookout for another decent 7" device, was considering the X2 or maybe the X15 with its 5.5" screen. I have a tablet with telescopic controller and it does work fine but its just not the same, all in one devices with built in controls are still bettter.
Wicked, with Retroarch onboard can you load new cores for additional systems? What is the CPU again? I think this has a LOT of potential if they would get community devs onboard so it can be optimised for extra systems etc. I suspect different button mods could be done also. Worth also mentioning there are different coloured models of this.
@Meth Methanoid Its a 1.3GHZ quad core, forgot the actual chip it uses though, A7 or something I think but not 100% sure. Some vids Ive seen claim 256MB RAM and someone else mentioned 512MB so until Powkiddy release the number or someone does a teardown we wont know for sure. Perhaps Taki Udon and/or ETA Prime will do a tear down soon. But I agree, if you can get used to the buttons and no L2 or R2 its got great potential cause unlike other cheaper 7" systems the screen on this one is very good, and you can at least change the aspect ratio of the game window as well. Since this is for retro emulation I wonder why they dont just make a 4x3 large screen device for once.
@@WickedGamerCollector right? Im glad powkiddy is receptive to feedback so when they sent me the updated batch I was really impressed and so are my customers!
Hey what's up man first off once a big fan of the channel love watching it. also I have a question hopefully maybe you can clear it up for me to an extent I ordered from Powell Kitty not too long ago that X7 the thing that looks similar to this I think it might be bigger or smaller I'm not sure I think it's once a text to buy number you said but they told me a while ago that I was on backorder I've been waiting for a few months and still haven't heard nothing from them I'm wondering if they're scamming me or if the tone of truth if I really am still waiting cuz if I remember correctly I think you made a video about 1 I'm just wondering about how long ago did you get it
Hey Eric. You mean this model ? ua-cam.com/video/3TkyAflw4C8/v-deo.html And where did you buy the item ? Ali-Express When you order there you need to look out the transaction don't end. And before it does dispute and ask refund that is the only warranty you have.
@@WickedGamerCollector I believe so it's the one that's still got and their website for 25 bucks it's been on sale like that for a while which is why they claim that was on back order to me. they said I was going to receive it within a month and it's been 3 months and now they're not answering my emails. and if I remember correctly I think I ordered mine right around the same time you dropped your video it wasn't too long after that? I'm just wondering if I'm wasting my time trying to chase after them.
@@ericcook5745 My protection was extended 90 days, I ordered early March, and things are just arriving this week.. so 77 days just about. Used to be like 3 weeks, now is close to 3 months. I try to have faith, when dealing on AliExpress you can buy directly from manufacturer, so often times, it's out of their hands. Most sellers were more than patient with me, so I'd say that's all we can do, since a refund / reorder may just be more waiting in the long run. It should be on the way, I didn't get any updates for a long time, however, it can be like that... No updates, then next thing you know, it's a few post offices away. Happy gaming! And good luck, don't let it take the fun out of it for ya, there's still plenty to be had, you're certainly not alone in the excruciating waiting process. One seller at least had a good laugh with me, saying how their shipping is now going "at snail speed" due to the restrictions. Accurate as it may be, just be careful which store you're buying from, since dropshippers may not always have the best reputations or things of that nature. Try to go for things that have more than 9< orders, and stores that don't look auto-generated like "Shopr837262939483726".
okay thanks a lot guys will see what ends up happening I know you can't always expect the best when you buy offline things happen sometimes I'm not going to let it stop me from doing it in the future it's just annoying when it happens
I'd pay $75 for it if I had it! Thanks to awesome modder UA-camrs, I could put new sticks on, the screen & recharge battery are more important to me anyway...
It's like they tease us with these near miss hand helds. I prefer a screen this size so I can completely immerse myself in the game and appreciate the graphics, especially on games like tomb raider, Res evil etc. The emulation looks good too, but if the controls are bad I won't be buying it!!! Such a shame. Let's hope they release this with improvements
Pretty cool, a dpad and better analogs stick could have made this way better, even with the almost non working hdmi. About the external joystick, maybe you you to configure something in the retroarch menues?
X15 gives you the options to add your own games. With the X2 ... you get what you see.... More the question what kind of handheld are you searching for ?
Hey Wicked have you seen that Powkiddy V90 yet? Heavily inspired by the GBA SP design. I'm looking forward to your hands on and thoughts soon, fingers crossed!
"Like always, they need to mess something up."

And so Im the lookout for another decent 7" device, was considering the X2 or maybe the X15 with its 5.5" screen.
I have a tablet with telescopic controller and it does work fine but its just not the same, all in one devices with built in controls are still bettter.
Wicked, with Retroarch onboard can you load new cores for additional systems? What is the CPU again? I think this has a LOT of potential if they would get community devs onboard so it can be optimised for extra systems etc. I suspect different button mods could be done also. Worth also mentioning there are different coloured models of this.
@Meth Methanoid
Its a 1.3GHZ quad core, forgot the actual chip it uses though, A7 or something I think but not 100% sure.
Some vids Ive seen claim 256MB RAM and someone else mentioned 512MB so until Powkiddy release the number or someone does a teardown we wont know for sure.
Perhaps Taki Udon and/or ETA Prime will do a tear down soon.
But I agree, if you can get used to the buttons and no L2 or R2 its got great potential cause unlike other cheaper 7" systems the screen on this one is very good, and you can at least change the aspect ratio of the game window as well.
Since this is for retro emulation I wonder why they dont just make a 4x3 large screen device for once.
Hey Bro!
You should try the new revision of these. Has dpad and the analogs arent on sliders 😁 performance is improved. Let me know if you want a pic
Thanks for the heads up did not see that version.
LOL.. that was super fast they made a revision of the X2 😅
@@WickedGamerCollector right? Im glad powkiddy is receptive to feedback so when they sent me the updated batch I was really impressed and so are my customers!
Hey what's up man first off once a big fan of the channel love watching it. also I have a question hopefully maybe you can clear it up for me to an extent I ordered from Powell Kitty not too long ago that X7 the thing that looks similar to this I think it might be bigger or smaller I'm not sure I think it's once a text to buy number you said but they told me a while ago that I was on backorder I've been waiting for a few months and still haven't heard nothing from them I'm wondering if they're scamming me or if the tone of truth if I really am still waiting cuz if I remember correctly I think you made a video about 1 I'm just wondering about how long ago did you get it
Hey Eric.
You mean this model ? ua-cam.com/video/3TkyAflw4C8/v-deo.html
And where did you buy the item ? Ali-Express
When you order there you need to look out the transaction don't end.
And before it does dispute and ask refund that is the only warranty you have.
@@WickedGamerCollector I believe so it's the one that's still got and their website for 25 bucks it's been on sale like that for a while which is why they claim that was on back order to me. they said I was going to receive it within a month and it's been 3 months and now they're not answering my emails. and if I remember correctly I think I ordered mine right around the same time you dropped your video it wasn't too long after that? I'm just wondering if I'm wasting my time trying to chase after them.
@@ericcook5745 My protection was extended 90 days, I ordered early March, and things are just arriving this week.. so 77 days just about. Used to be like 3 weeks, now is close to 3 months. I try to have faith, when dealing on AliExpress you can buy directly from manufacturer, so often times, it's out of their hands. Most sellers were more than patient with me, so I'd say that's all we can do, since a refund / reorder may just be more waiting in the long run. It should be on the way, I didn't get any updates for a long time, however, it can be like that... No updates, then next thing you know, it's a few post offices away.
Happy gaming! And good luck, don't let it take the fun out of it for ya, there's still plenty to be had, you're certainly not alone in the excruciating waiting process. One seller at least had a good laugh with me, saying how their shipping is now going "at snail speed" due to the restrictions. Accurate as it may be, just be careful which store you're buying from, since dropshippers may not always have the best reputations or things of that nature. Try to go for things that have more than 9< orders, and stores that don't look auto-generated like "Shopr837262939483726".
okay thanks a lot guys will see what ends up happening I know you can't always expect the best when you buy offline things happen sometimes I'm not going to let it stop me from doing it in the future it's just annoying when it happens
Incluyed games?
Thanks for testing out SNES and GENESIS! Those are the emulators these non-Android Powkiddy's have the most issues with.
I bet the controller support is for player two not player one
Support for game harvestmoon playstation 1 or not ?
In general emulation is not bad so it's possible your favorite game can run.
Testing every single game is a mission impossible 😅
I'd pay $75 for it if I had it! Thanks to awesome modder UA-camrs, I could put new sticks on, the screen & recharge battery are more important to me anyway...
Nice 😎
Does This Come Really With 2500 Games On It
It's like they tease us with these near miss hand helds. I prefer a screen this size so I can completely immerse myself in the game and appreciate the graphics, especially on games like tomb raider, Res evil etc. The emulation looks good too, but if the controls are bad I won't be buying it!!! Such a shame. Let's hope they release this with improvements
RG350 Vs powkiddy X2?🤔please make a video😊
You can order games for it.and go online. Wireless? Correct
Nope... 😳
I still think the Rgb10 is still the sweet spot. Great review 👍👍👍
D-pad please
Pretty cool, a dpad and better analogs stick could have made this way better, even with the almost non working hdmi. About the external joystick, maybe you you to configure something in the retroarch menues?
Also, an android based switch clone from GPD is supposed to came out in the near future :P:P:P
X15 or X2, which will u chose?
X15 gives you the options to add your own games.
With the X2 ... you get what you see....
More the question what kind of handheld are you searching for ?
@@WickedGamerCollector easy to add and play games. No complicated work to get games to work.
Wow this is so awesome and cool😎
Did they use Iron Man style wallpaper ?
At least the box looks better than the one they gave to Retro Dodo
How much for this system
These are around 70 / 100 euro.
So not cheap.
Not a bad naughty Ripp Off...I might have to get one myself and trick my friends into believing they can finally play my switch 😂😂😂👀👀
Hey Wicked have you seen that Powkiddy V90 yet? Heavily inspired by the GBA SP design. I'm looking forward to your hands on and thoughts soon, fingers crossed!
No L2/R2
Why cant they get it right you would think after ...
🤣
Can it run Dreamcast?
Nope...
No Emulator and not enough power 😅
So wicked so naughty 😈
They need a proper d-pad for this console
Yup.... 😅
proper d-pad and not wide screen would instant buy
Hey Buddy can show gameplay of PSP games
PSP does not run on the X2.
Last platform is PS1.
Love het Nederlandse accent
Why can’t they just get it right the first time?
I have no freaking idea ... 😆😆
