PSA all Powkiddy V10 owners. I fixed the battery issues by swapping the battery with one from a donor Miyoo Mini Plus. It works perfectly now. Charges to 100% and stops charging finally! This doesnt affect all units but if youre unfortunate enough to have this issue, this is your solution. Also you can try to unplug the battery and leave it outside the console for a few hours. Hold the power button without the battery inserted to clear the capacitor. Then replug the battery. Hope this helps!
Great review Javi! Beautiful breakdown of the pros and cons on the unit. Word of advice if I may, drop your background music by about 10% or so. You and the device are the star of the show! Not that nonsense music in the background. Stay blessed my friend.
Awesome review man, honestly probably the best on RUclips of this device because of how detailed and honest you are. Looking forward to getting mine, I have an RG35XXSP but I've been curious about this little guy.
Good review dudeski! I was hooked from start to finish, even made me bust out my R36S and Miyoo Mini+ and have a go at some old GBA games I've been thinking about playing for the past year
It is definitely worth your attention. I have just ordered the SNES colour variation. I already own the DMG. I have found myself returning to it over and over. I am even choosing it over my RG35XXPLUS. I jumped at the SNES colour because it was only £28! can't wait to see what the awesome mod scene come up with in regards to CFW.
I've had mine about a month and it's been a great little handheld. Now it's time to find something that fits my hands better for those longer gaming sessions.
This looks like an even better form factor than the miyoo mini plus. 🔥 I love the competition between these handhelds cant wait to see where they are at like a year from now
Those were some great tips for this device. I'm thinking about trying the bigger battery, but I like the idea as small storage. Also, I had no idea the battery issues were so prevalent. For anyone who doesn't have a wifi usb dongle, maybe you have a dock that has an ethernet port or something similar, no? You can hook it up temporarily to set up Portmaster and box art and whatnot👌
Awesome review. Got the purple color but kinda wish I got the black instead 😆 would love a video on how to flash the OS onto a new sd card. Also, if I put my own games, how do I scrape the box art?
Battery issues are notorious with powkiddy unfortunately. Ive stayed away from them because of it. I had a rgb10max3. I did every trick to fix the battery and nothing really worked. I eventually sold it and moved on
You have to charge powkiddy devices with the right charger to avoid battery issues. I have used an older Samsung Phone Charger with a USB to type C out to device with 0 issues for quite some time.
@PongbyAtari just goes to show how unreliable they are. Like I said. I tried everything. Including the easiest fix that worked for you and not me. They are just not worth the headache and anxiety when there's better products out there

Thanks for that, can you tell if the battery on V10 lasts more than miyoo's?

Great video. Really, I love to see video full tutorial how you set up your device with the new OS and how you scrape the box art
Great content

This is nice and all, but I need a gba form factor with dual analog
Have you updated ArkOS? I ask because I have 2 of these and never noticed the charging problems
@@CellPhish it's on the latest version already
@CellPhish maybe this user error because i never use included cable and 5V2Amp brick
The bezel/border is so large that it makes no sense IMHO. Rather have an integer scaled display on Miyoo.

WiFi adapter support isn't a pro but a cont, it's 2024 already and all devices should include built-in WiFi for retroachievements or other stuff
@koken2372 For $40ish dollars its okay its not included
