Hopefully it'll tide the new buyers who've bought but not received yet. And they'll find it easier setting up too.... so they'll be up and running in 30mins.
(0:52) One thing I noticed that I didnt see get mentioned in reviews is that sticker on the plastic film (and on-screen warning at 8:22) that shows not to use cables that have USB-C on both ends, suggesting to me that it may be using a non-compliant USB-C implementation that doesn't allow Android to control the flow direction. A review did mention not having video output support, and I assume that like with my Likebook Mimas where both were also the case, USB hosting and power delivery likely wouldn't work, just USB 2 guest and 5V 2A charging. I could live with that kind of charging setup for the price, though.
While I was running the DVT2 unit I only used USB-C to USB-C and only had issues once. The cable I had been using just stopped working and never worked again. I used a different USB-C-C and all was fine again. I reported this at the time to Abxylute and it was then that they suggested to only use the provided USB-A to USB-C. It's pretty common for device manufacturers to only recommend their own provided cable like this. But I have since only used a decent quality USB-C to USB-C on both the DVT and my production model and I've never had any issues. Up to you though if you want to risk it. Personally I think there is probably a bigger risk using high power PD bricks, which is probably why Abxylute said use a USB-A cable.
Thanks for the comment. Even though Abxylute have now delivered on their Kickstarter I've got some ideas for new content so I hope you'll stick around. 👍
Pretty great console - if this thing had WiFi 6E and bigger thumbsticks I would say it would be the #1 streaming handheld on the market right now for the price, even if they needed to charge another $25-50 for those features. Hope they make a v2 that includes those and maybe an OLED panel. Then again, that might be exactly what Playstation is doing with their upcoming device, we'll have to see!
Its worth it for what you get right now. Not much can offer a better streaming experience for less. And I know there will be a new model, but more of a big Brother is what I expect. Same size Screen but perhaps 120hz. Beefier SOC and bigger sticks (but not full sized). I expect it'll cost about $270 to be competitive (undercutting every other streaming handheld aside from the original model which I think will remain on sale for a long time).
I was wondering could you tell with the abxylute handheld console would I need to own a pc or xbox to be able to download games to play on abxylute console
The Abxylute can play some native Android games, and retro emulation. But if you want to play XBOX or PC games then you'll either need one of those or use something like Xbox game pass (and play on the cloud) or use GEForce NOW, Boosteroid or Amazon Luna for cloud PC streaming.
If you're using the Sony PlayStation app there isn't any config tweaks, so it's limited to 720p. Psplay gives options. But I only have a regular PS4 so still limited to 720p. But it still looks great. I use the standard bitrate or high bitrate option when at home or the low or manual bitrate when away from home. Just keep dropping bitrate until it's stable, might be a bit blurry at times though when away from home.
@@handheldgaming4life Hey thanks for the tips. I am using PsPlay, 1080p, 30frames, and Auto bitrate, I tried the COD MW3, but does not look great, to be honest you can't even play it.. I will try different configurations and see.. BTW you know where I can turn off the vibration mode on the keypad? or literally completely off, no vibration at all on the Abxylute?! Thanks again, and continue the good work. 😎
I love white, only thing I'd change is the volume/power buttons (if only they were white in the black inner shell). Its not showing any dirt either, I know white can often get grubby quick but this seems really nice quality. Only the shipped plastic screen protector lets it down. Not because its poor quality but because plastic protectors tend to get finger prints just as easy as glass, but don't clean as good due to static pulling fluffy fibers off you're cloth onto the screen. I have a glass one to fit but I have other plans.
@@plasticboygaming4508 I've got a Black DVT2 model and white production one. Both are nice but the white one for me is just a little more different. If you want a stealthy looking model then black is good. You won't be disappointed with either I'd say. The screen is the main event and really good.
@@handheldgaming4life ok thanks for answering my questions. I have 1 last one before I order it. Can you install pc games on it like steam or can you only stream.
@@plasticboygaming4508 Good question. The answer is the Abxylute is an Android device, so it can't run windows or windows apps directly. I know newer Snapdragon chips can run a version of windows and some games but this device doesn't have that chip. Its a basic Android device specifically for streaming from other devices (Cloud/PC/Xbox/PS4/5). It can run native Android games, but only light ones. Chances are your Mobile has a more powerful processor. What the Abxylute offers is a nice mix of powerful enough processor but not so much it impacts on battery life. Hall effect sticks and triggers so no drift and no dead zones, a banging 1080p screen that really is a delight to look at, Wifi 5 which isn't the latest but it get a solid robust connection to your wifi and a slim shell that because the processor isn't actively cooled it doesn't need big copper heat sinks and fans inside so its not much bigger than a switch (which has a fan) but is light and easy to carry about but most importantly silent in use.
I kept my settings stock. Make sure your Abxylute is on 5ghz network and your PS3/5 is wired to router. I've still seen occasional glitchy screen which I've put down to the PS4 stream itself. Seen this on my mobile and other PCs using Sony's PS remote play too.
Not sure if this will help you, but definitely make sure you're firstly selecting Local Connect and not Remote Connect if you are playing in the same home as your PS4/PS5 is located. And then for me even though I have extremely blazing fast internet, I still would get the issue you're referring to sometimes until I dropped the display to 720p down from 1080p. It's honestly barely noticeable to me and fixed all latency completely. Just a personal case though, may or may not apply to you!
This is new device right? Not an eBay bargain. I've seen some DVT units hitting the market for sale even though they technically belong to Abxylute. Firstly have you tried a simple restart? Failing that I'd suggest doing a factory reset on the device. It cures a lot of issues.
I think I tried up to a 512gb in my one, but there really isn't much point as you'll be able to fit the entire library it could play on a 64gig, a 128gb if you really wanted to install some PSP titles.
@@user-ey5ip6xc6e you install them on your PS4/5 directly. You use the stock PS remote Play or PSPlay to remotely connect to your PS4/5 to stream them.
Not directly on the handheld. Its like the Logitech G-cloud or PS Portal in that you need a device that you remote play from onto this device. That remote device can be an XBox One/Series, PS4/5, PC running Sunshine/moonlight/Steam Link. Or you can use a cloud gaming platform like Boosteroid, GEForce NOW, Xbox live, Amazon LUNA. The handheld is Android based, not particularly powerful, it doesn't need to be to stream well. But it can play light Android games (Shredders Revenge). It can also emulate older console platforms, PSP being pretty much its limit.
You'll need to find out how your broadband comes with a static IP. Use that address from your Abxylute and see if it works. You might also need to create a hole in your router for your PS5 to tunnel out from. Google IP settings for remote PS4/5. I think the stock app will even ask if you want to try this automatically via the app. Finally if you don't have a static IP you might need to setup a No-IP dynamic DNS setup. I used to do this with No-Ip as they offer a free tier which you renew for free monthly.
You will probably find Tencent had a big input into the OS. They were developing a handheld with Lenovo and I think Abxylute took on that work when Lenovo bailed. The Lenovo would have been to market much earlier than the Logitech.
You’ve done a great video,explains all about this handheld,thank you. I hope to get one very soon.

Hi, any recommended setting for Psplay? Every once in awhile there will be stuttering while playing even I'm near the router.
