New and Improved | Powkiddy X55 Review | Widescreen Beast

I was pleasantly surprised with the performance that the X55 had to offer from gab to N64 and psp, even ports the X55 performed outstanding. I really enjoyed the screen. 5.5 inch IPS was a pleasure to look at for hours of continuous play. The ergonomics with the built in grips made it even better. I have the green model which I really like and stands out a lot. The Jelos build that came on this device is Rock solid and for the tinkerers out there other custom firmware such as Rock Nix and even a custom Android build are available. I played the device plugged into a portable monitor with my SN30 Pro controller and had a great time. It really is a great widescreen device and even after reviewing it, I can't seem to put it down.

[danchristianaquino]

I just ordered mine today and I am very excited to get it next week. Thank you for this wonderful video!

[hyperplayrpg]

Finally! Been waiting ages for someone to review the new green model. Many thanks!

Very nice console. I just made a purchase of one on eBay for one that comes in blue. May be an earlier version, but has good reviews. I am anxious to get this console and start playing. I am not a tech savvy person so some of what you mentioned was lost on me but looks like a great device. Thanks

What a lovely intro lol. Really cute. The X55 looks super comfy, and I love that it plays Stardew Valley <3 Thanks for the review, friend!

[DigitalJedi]

Great Video man! I was wondering on this device. Now I really want one Thanks!

[majinshinsa]

Can't believe you reviewed this whole thing inside the car while waiting!

Loved the video man, it may be a flawed device in some aspects, but I love the Powkiddy X55, got mine last year and even the Stock Firmware works well, I'm just happy to be gaming on the go and getting to play and finish games I didn't get to back in the day. 🎮🤘👍

Missed opportunity to show yoga 🧘‍♂️ really disappointed 😞. But about the X55 excellent video. Loved all the gameplay.

Looks sharp in Green. I have an older blue one and have just received a black one with the minor cosmetic updates. Nice to see them spell "Model " correctly on the back lol. Just wondering if its worth upgrading from Emuelec to Rocknix, as the black one came with Emuelec installed out of the box.

I got one last month and there good 👍 🎉🎉 love it

[liamwilliams]

Oh and I got JelOS and a whole bunch of Roms a month or 2 after I got my X55, and it works well, just the battery doesn't always display the proper battery amount now and I can't my Port Master to wok...🤷‍♂️...but I'm still happy...

[EliteC]

I updated mine to Rocknix to futureproof it as Jelos no longer supports it and other then the screen being a bit darker all seems to be working fine. Would recommend the Rocknix update 👍

[quikzero]

Great video! I got a x55 on the way from Ali express so I'm taking notes. Did you use a guide for the portmaster stardew config? or is it easy enough to do.

[heaven_.]

What the hell bro! your footage looks amazing!

[flexlife]

How to transfer over ports? Also with all the other handhelds that came out since last year, where would you now rate the x55?

[juan]

Can u add more games? Or what it has is what u get?

[NikkiPararuan]

Man, I just ordered this green model. Hopefully it comes with not many issues. Would love to “port” some of the other games like you did. As someone who isn’t super tech savy, how should I best go about improving the OS & porting games?

[lliixzllii]

Lol @ the kids chokeslamming comment. As a dad of two boys myself, I get it haha - subbed

[curtisdebose]

Bought mine about a little over a month ago and I like it but didn't come with JELOS and won't update over wifi.
