## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Device
*by D***. on August 25, 2016*

I was a bit skeptical at first about getting this device but then finally gave in after all the positive reviews both here and on YouTube. I would like to start off with shipping. I have never received anything this fast with the free shipping option. I got this device literally 72 hours from ordering it. The device itself I feel is well built, a bit tight on the hinges but I'm sure has its reason. I wish the 64gb version came in other color options. Has nice sound, battery life is amazing, and the screen is crisp. The built in emulators are great but I prefer my own installed emulators due to the lack of a settings option for a widescreen ratio with the built in ones. The device is suppose to support SD cards only up to 128gb, but I have a 200gb one in it that works just fine. The device only gets warm when I'm playing the android version of GTA on max settings and it has never skipped a beat, froze, or glitched on me so far. The button to touchscreen mapping feature works great too. I am very happy, surprised, and amazed with my experience with this device.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heat issues, but otherwise I love this device!
*by M***Y on July 17, 2018*

The GPD XD Plus is a fun little gaming tablet. I like that it looks like a Nintendo 3DS XL. It's a clamshell design with built in buttons. Also the screen on it is quite nice. I will say the direction pad on mine is a bit squeaky, but it gets the job done. Also, while this can handle PS1 and android games without frame rate issues, it obviously isn't designed for that. I put a bunch of PS1 games on mine to play and thought better when I realized how hot this system runs trying to play anything PS1. I'm not sure if there is just no heat sink or what, but the whole system gets super hot to touch. I was playing Tales of Destiny II and it felt like my GPD XD was burning my hands while I held it. It was not comfortable for me at all. I finally gave up and deleted my PS1 games. I found playing N64 games also heated the device up, but I didn't play it long enough to see if it would hurt my fingers as well. Once it started to get too warm I decided that was enough torturing myself. LOL I did also notice it got very hot when I was playing Fallout Shelter too (an android game). So that's why I mentioned the PS1 and Android games specifically as not great on the GPD XD.I think for a retro gaming machine this device is fine, as long as your idea of retro is around the age of the SNES and Sega Genesis. I also put some Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance games on my device and that was fine too. No heating issues at all. And I love the screen size for playing my Gameboy Advance games. I've been having a lot of fun on this device. I think I actually prefer playing my Gameboy Advance games on this device compared to my actual Gameboy Advance.I will say the reviews of this device coming with a bunch of junk are correct. I pretty much wiped mine and started fresh. So much junk. But it is just an android device after all, so it's easy to customize. I also found it super easy to setup and load with roms. If it wasn't for the heat issues I'd give this device 5 stars. But that was my only disappointment.

### ⭐⭐⭐ A great shield Portable alternative but maybe not the perfect system for everyone
*by J***R on June 15, 2016*

First off I should say I returned this device after a week or two. That's not to say I didn't like it, but I didn't find it quite ready for primetime, at least not for an English speaker. The performance seemed fine, although probably not quite an improvement over my shield Portable. It was definitely close to the shield and much more portable. Of course with the shield being so expensive if you can even find a new one, the gpd is a fine elternative. My biggest issue was the skin over the android OS and the links that send you to Chinese sites. I can't read Chinese so I couldn't figure out how to use these sites. They appeared to be room sites but I couldn't do anything but look at them. I added my own roms, of games I own of course, the same as I do with my shield. Most 16 bit worked fine but n64 was hit or miss as well as psp. I had no luck with dreamcast either, but that's probably pushing the capabilities of the cpu and gpu anyway.It fits well in a 3ds case since they are almost the same size. Performance is great for 16 and some 32 but systems. Some android games worked well too, but I had odd behavior with some also. Samurai 2 wouldn't show the on screen controls so I couldn't get them mapped to make the game playable. There were some other odd issues in some games that really just made the gpd more trouble than it was worth to me. It not terrible at all, it's actually a very cool idea and probably the best portable android game console that's readily available. If you don't want a used shield this is a fine alternative. I wish gpd would work more on localizing the UI and the software and links this has, that would be a good start. I'll watch for gpds new models though. The bud quality is very good and I think they are close to having a very good system to sell. I'll put it this way, although I returned my gpd xd, I did support thier crowd funding campaign for the gpd win and I'm very excited for that wi down handheld.
