  • 👉 Join me as we take a look at the ‪@abxylute‬ engineering sample. This is an Android based, cloud focused gaming handheld. It is powered by the Mediatek MT8365 and is the first handheld from the Abxylute team. We will cover a lot in this video from an unboxing, teardown, benchmarks, latency testing, and more. In addition, as I always like to do on the channel, we will push the limits of this device and investigate native Android gaming as well as the possibility of emulation with consoles such as Playstation 1, PSP, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, and more. Is the Abxylute a potential challenger to the brand name competitors such as the Logitech G Cloud? Let's find out together as we discover the capabilities of the Abxylute handheld.
    Please check out my prior video on the ABXYLUTE, which focused on streaming only for even more information: • ☁🎮 ABXYLUTE Cloud Hand...

    Nice honest review. I have looked at the RP3+ but in the UK its more expensive than this kickstarter (which is nuts). Although I could see the 3+ finding its way into my pocket more frequently being smaller the Abxylute will be easily portable and handy to have laying the in the car for extended periods. No option of the Gcloud over here either. So I've thrown my option in with a Abxylute.... I think its probably a better purchase than the ill-fated AYN Loki mini I backed in June last year and still have zero expectation of it even arriving in 2023. For everything else there is my Steam Deck.

    Great info video on your end. Onto the handheld itself. No video out, this is the third device I seen without video out. I hope this isn't a dawn of a new trend, video out isn't a huge plus for me. It is a feature I have grown to love. The whole tear down did scream JXD to me with the whole outer plate and over the top screws. the bench marks, I was like WOW ( not in a good way ) the price they are asking and fall so short behind something like RP3+. Sure the screen looks good, but not at the cost of lower performance. Like what you said emulation is a huge deal with android handhelds, there is a lot more to emulation other than emulating lower end games.

    • @Jimmys_TheBestCop

    Hey I know I’m commenting a year later but I believe this console is a better option for me, I’m from Australia and we don’t have any G clouds for sale here. I managed to find an Abxylute for $130 USD second hand on eBay which has only been used for a couple months. Brand new it would cost me $200 USD which isn’t the amount of money I want to risk paying on this device so I’m comfortable with $130 USD. I can’t wait for it to arrive.

    I must say that the decoding latency on moonlight its a little high on both if compared to a shield tv. Thats a pitty, that device can do 4k decode at less than 1ms but I guess im just spoiled. But I was expectinga a little bit more to compensate the extra wifi latency.

    My knowledge on cloud gaming is very limited so excuse me for the noob question.
    Are you able to download a game to it to play without having to stream if that makes sense? Been looking at these for a while now and pretty much ready to pull the trigger.

    • @retrotechdad
      @retrotechdad  7 месяцев назад

      No, unfortunately you cannot.
      For example, if you're trying to stream an Xbox Game Pass game, you will only be able to stream it from your Xbox, PC, or from the Cloud. The games cannot be downloaded onto the handheld for offline play, which is why it's nice having the ability to play some emulation and Android games.

  • @me1ne
    @me1ne 10 месяцев назад +1

    Hmm. Abxylute is 240 €, G Cloud is 350 €. Which makes the latter almost as expensive as the cheapest Steam Deck at 400 €. That sadly is very heavy in comparison and requires active cooling, but is a much more capable device altogether. I'd love to see a similarly sized android handheld running Snapdragon 7+ gen 2 / 8 gen 1 (or 2 even, one can dream) at a sub-500-€ price. That would give most of us all the performance we want.

    The retroid pocket is such a beast. While the screen is smaller I think it should be a benchmark for streaming consoles.

      7" screen. I don't care about the dedicated processor inside, the only use case for me is streaming. I can emulate everything I want 60fps 1080p on my PC and stream it to the handheld. The only important factors for me are the screen, the ergonomics, the controls and the audio.

    My only beef with your review is that your host pc isn't running the content at at least 60fps so it's providing some inconsistent streaming frame rates. Other than that, thank you for all the great information!

    • @retrotechdad
      @retrotechdad  Год назад +1

      The game itself is definitely running at 60fps on the host PC. I think this is a known issue with Moonlight/Sunshine and possibly is affecting the actual FPS on the client end.
