As an android device, this system falls short of the mark despite good performance
I will keep this simple.
Overall Score: 7/10
The Good:
– The display is good.
– Seems to perform well in android gaming.
– Android 7 which gives it good compatibility.
– An option to program physical controls to positions on the touch screen.– The Bad:
– Seems to get a bit warm while playing Android games, does not seem to cause issues but can potentially increase wear on some internal components.
– Touch screen calibration issue when coming out of sleep mode, have to sometimes reboot the device to temporarily fix that.How It IS Better Than GPD XD
– Faster CPU with more cores.
– Android 7 which gives it good compatibility than the GPD XD.
– The touch screen collects and clearly displays far less smears from your fingers than the original GPD XD.
– Bluetooth functionality.
– 64 bit architecture improves compatibility with android software. The GPD XD has a 32 bit architecture.How It Is Worse Than the GPD XD
– Touch screen calibration issue. I know this issue did happen on the GPD XD but it seems to be more pronounced on the GPD XD Plus.
– When testing with a game that does not use a lot of resources on both systems the GPD XD Plus had lower battery life than the GPD XD.
– The version of TWRP for the GPD XD Plus currently has issues accessing sd micro cards.So, is it worth purchasing?
I would say definitely yes if you desire an android device that has physical controls and you intend to use them as much as possible.
Not if you are aiming to play Android games mostly using the touch screen controls, in that case you are better off with the GPD XD.
If you want a reliable portable system you can actually carry in your pocket without needing to carry along a separate controller and buying a case for it, worth purchasing.Is it worth upgrading from GPD XD? I would say not really unless games and emulators you want to use work (more) properly on the GPD XD Plus and not on the GPD XD, in that case it is worth the upgrade. If you are one who uses Android software a fair bit I would definitely suggest it for compatibility and a faster CPU but not enthusiastically suggest it for the touch screen calibration problem.
Like the GPD XD the GPD XD Plus' speed is unlocked by installing a custom firmware, at the time I wrote this review CleanRom is/was the custom firmware available for the GPD XD Plus. However, there are rumors that Lineage OS may one day be ported to this system.
