Powkiddy X350 Review

Yes, I bought more emulator handhelds. Yes, I’ll admit that I might have a problem.

PowKiddy's X350 is clearly named to evoke the Abernic RG350 (Presumably to confuse consumers, honestly) and is in pretty much all ways a cheaper version of that device.

Overall, it's very much a "you get what you pay for" ($20) and I'd have loved it three years ago (it's a mild improvement over the X6 and X9-S in terms of feel and performance), but you can pay a little more for something significantly better.

Game Player X40 Pro Review

This is also in the same series as the X6 and X9-S that I played with a few years ago (which are usually, but not always, Powkiddy-branded). It runs another variant of the same OS and carries a lot of the same issues.

Overall: Right out of the box, this is a decent device for playing arcade games on a large but still portable screen, and a mediocre but functional one for NES/SNES/GBA games. It has better performance than the X9-S but the larger size is both good and bad. If I successfully mutilate it into something better, I’ll follow up.
