Review on Touchscreen Android Handheld Portable Hexa Core by Aaron Long

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not cheap but great value considering what you get

Legal and ethical conversations are not compromised, this is a great device. However, my device had an issue with the screen stuttering in the center and the GPD logo burning out where it was barely visible. This happened 2 months after receiving the device and outside of the return window. So I had to contact the seller directly and they helped me. I had to pay the shipping cost to send the broken unit back to them (but they promised to send a replacement and a case for my problems, I only got half of what they promised) and when they got it they sent me another device. So if you're not sure about their customer service, know they will work with you to make things right. Anyway, the product itself is not bad. Obviously inspiration came from another famous gaming handheld and there's nothing wrong with that. The device has a good screen and the screen resolution is impressive for the price. The controls are there and even the numbness of the joystick is great for longer gaming sessions. The D button feels soft, but it doesn't break the system. It runs Android N so isn't the last and best of the big G and don't hold your breath if you expect the latest AOS to not hold your breath. Also, due to the nature of the product, apps like Netflix have blacklisted this device so you cannot use this app, but you can use the web version of Netflix on the device. All in all, this is a great retro emulator with popular tactile buttons. SEGA, NEOGEO and others have released some of their classic games on the AOS, and we can all agree that playing with your fingers on slippery glass sucks. This is the cure for it. All the classic console games in your pocket along with the benefits of a modern Android device. do you really need it Let's just say I always have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and multiple emulators on it. But if I have that and the GPD with me, I will open the GPD when I need a retro game fix.
