– The X95 Pro is a budget gaming handheld with a flashy design but lacks originality.
– Its claimed Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is likely a lie; MediaTek is more probable.
– It runs Android with a custom launcher for button/joystick control.
– Emulates platforms like PS1, PSP, and Game Boy, though most preloaded games are unlicensed.
– Features a 3.5-inch IPS display (640×480), 8-hour battery life, and USB-C charging.
The X95 Pro is a new gaming handheld that is fundementally similar to many other gaming handhelds in the budget price range. To put it bluntly, the manufacturer has failed to come up with anything original beyond a flashy design. Nevertheless, the inexpensive device should still offer plenty of gaming fun. According to the manufacturer, the model comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which, in our opinion, is likely to be a blatant lie. MediaTek SoCs are more to be expected in this price range. It runs on Android, as confirmed by videos, and YouTube appears to be usable. A customized launcher is on board. Such a launcher is more or less necessary if operation is to be primarily via buttons and joysticks.
Emulation Capabilities and Game Library
The device is said to support emulation of various platforms, such as the PlayStation One, the PlayStation Portable and various Game Boy iterations. According to the manufacturer, over 20,000 games are already available. The vast majority of these are likely unlicensed classics, which is certainly highly questionable from a copyright perspective. The IPS display measures 3.5 inches and has a resolution of 640 x 480. Two joysticks are included, along with a D-pad, four action buttons and shoulder buttons. A headphone jack and built-in speakers are also on board. The integrated battery is said to provide up to eight hours of runtime and recharges via USB-C in two hours.
