Yo what’s going on guys welcome back to another video for you guys today today ladies and gentlemen we are going to be doing an update on um how I’ve been feeling about this device right here the pimax portal and you know what I’ve been kind of doing with it these last few Months so um right before we get started I do want to say this video has actually been brought to you guys by pimax themselves so pmax is actually doing a crowdfunding campaign on indigogo right now on this page you can actually buy the PX port that I’m showcasing in Today’s video and you know different variations of it as you guys can see on the right side over here at pretty good prices too so as you can see you can either just back this project by you know giving them money or you can just buy the device straight up from here at A pretty discounted rate as you guys can see it’s actually 33% off which originally it’s around $300 but as you can see right now it’s $199 USD for this version of it which will come with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage actually personally speaking this is actually a ridiculously good Price what the heck W other options here you can check out the indigogo crowdfunding campaign in the description down below underneath that like button so feel free to check it out and let’s get right in back into the video I do want to preface the rest of this video By saying they did not pay me no money was exchanged for the purpose of this video they actually sent me this device right here to keep as well as a second device I have yet to open that I’m going to be giving to a family member for Christmas so thank you PX for that but with all that being said none of this will be affecting my true opinions on how I feel about this device so yeah also another thing that um I want to say just because I’m pretty sure you guys have noticed it by now there are these Black lines that should be going across the screen you don’t actually see that in person it’s just because um the refresh rate on the screen which I think is a 144 Hertz screen does not match the shutter speed that’s on my camera right now I think if I try to actually match It so you guys don’t see the lines um it should look fine I want to say like this but if you guys see the movements of my hand and all that you guys can notice that it can be really blurry and yeah so we’re going to turn The shutter speed back to this so you guys all you guys need to know is that black line you guys are seeing does not exist in real life in fact if I actually mess with the shutter speed more I can make it look worse than it actually is So yeah it’s just a camera thing so okay um I want to show this off before I actually hook this up onto my capture card so you guys will just see the screen as the footage in about a minute but you know before we get there I do Want to talk about these things right here the um removable controllers which I feel like it’s a really cool part about this they’re actually um they’re actually magnetic so if you want to put them back yeah they kind of like Snap On you can take them off easily by doing That and they’re actually really strong um I actually have held this was like one hand just like this before while walking around my house and it just kind of never fell off so I just want to say the magnetics you know a few months later it still works pretty great I will Say though the majority of time I do just play handheld and all that just like this and not really remove the controllers but it is nice having the option and all that so um let’s actually hook this up onto a capture card so you guys can actually see the footage Normally okay so here we are on the capture card that way you guys don’t have to like literally stare at my hand is using the controllers at all times um okay so I want to start this out with Minecraft because this is a you know we we mainly post Minecraft on this channel And I’m going to be honest with you I’m going to put the specs on screen I put them on screen in the previous review showcase but this thing is definitely powerful enough to handle Minecraft like you will literally have zero issue with it so let’s just open up this world and I’m hoping the capture card picks up everything properly so building terrain on a world that we’ve just been kind of working on and the cool thing with this is games that have controller support enabled with um Android apps because there are actually some Android apps that you know just don’t have them like Um let’s say genin impact or Call of Duty mobile um yeah but games that do have them on the controllers on the thing just kind of map right away and just kind of work so if you guys have played Minecraft on literally any console the controls are pretty much the Same and all that so yeah um I’m trying to I’m trying to actually Crouch okay there we go I forgot how to crouch guys so yeah Minecraft is pretty much no problem there’s this kind of a world I’ve been kind of working on I feel like If I am going to make any videos specifically on the Pocket Edition version I might just use this just because I do like you know the controls being there and I think the quality is good so let me know what you guys think how the quality looks on here we’re just Kind of walking around and you know what let’s actually try putting the render distance at its highest so settings um where is render distance I think is where video is at and render distance for this specific processor puts this device all the way to so let’s go to 22 chunks wa that’s Actually I don’t know what I expected but definitely it wasn’t 22 chunks wa okay you actually see a good amount here and you know what let’s try go to creative mode I want to kind of fly in creative mode and see if we can see anything cool or try some cool tests Okay so this is it creating a brand new world those building terrain and all that and I actually don’t know if this is considered fast or slow but here we go loading resources let’s see the world what the world’s about to look like and o wait what pretty weird uh place to be Spawning like I said maximum render distance right now ooh a village cool I like it a lot but I think like the biggest advantage of having something like this is is you know it’s portable and oh what the heck okay and I think you know the other Advantage is it’s Running on Android so you know you can easily install worlds that are outside of the marketplace and all that pretty easily and let’s try uh some TNT I guess that’s the easiest way and because this is a touch screen right I could just you know quickly touch the screen and you Know kind of do things like that would be a little bit easier than using with a controller so like I said getting this TNT right and then if we wanted flint and steel so there we go and this kind of just a weird I I I wouldn’t consider This an advantage but you can switch to touch controls whenever you want so there we go and now we’re back to controller controls and again um if you’re seeing small lag spikes every now and then you have to remember that we are in maximum render distance 22 chunks For this device so there we go we’re just going to see how TNT kind of runs this is kind of like the uh unofficial way of testing how well a device is um just kind of spam TNT everywhere okay there’s a bit more TNT now and I guess We can test to see how this is going to look so there we go and okay you know personally I think it’s dealing with a TNT pretty great it didn’t really freeze or anything and that was a pretty good amount of TNT so oh there we go Small lag Spike there but you got to remember 22 chunks I’m pretty sure is doing a lot to it so um yeah I I actually really do like this but let me show you guys what I actually use this thing for on my free time aside you know For Minecraft I actually love emulating games that I played when I was a lot younger as someone who grew up in the you know 2000s 20110 uh the PSP the PS2 and the GameCube I I I usually do PSP though so let’s go try this out all right so the First game I’m testing out right now this is a game I played a lot in my childhood Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories and I’m actually playing this upscaled I think four times so it’s like 1080p so it’s in really good quality as you can see oh my gosh okay aside from My uh driving this game actually runs really really well oh okay okay I’m trying my best to drive I’m trying my best to impress you guys but clearly it’s not happening and something I kind of noticed with this that um I never noticed when I was younger because this Is you know a pretty powerful device compared to theice it was normally running on back then which was a PlayStation Portable the load times for load screens are actually really short like check this out you see that whenever you go to like a new area in These games it would do like a load screen like that but as you can see the load screens were pretty much non-existent here’s another game that I played way back when that I still think actually looks really good today um Daxter um I I I’m not really going to Explain what this game is but you’re basically killing bugs and all that but you know look at it I I I don’t know this was just such a fun game back then and yeah I just just to be able to I guess replay it again now that I’m a lot Old older on like a technically Superior device I know I like this thing it’s actually like an emulation Beast ooh this one’s a personal favorite of mine is this a Naruto fighting game and this one kind of goes into what I kind of thought I would complain about in uh the Original video which was the d-pad for fighting games like these it isn’t ideal but honestly it wasn’t as bad as I thought so yeah look at that look at how well this game is actually running you know what let’s win this fight for the video come on get up there we Go simple okay this one was actually pretty surprising cuz I didn’t get to test it too much back when I first got it but uh the last few weeks I’ve actually been in enjoying the fact that it can actually emulate PS2 games pretty well um this is a dragon ball game buai 10 Kai Ichi three I’m pretty sure but um I was honestly surprised how well this ran so oh oh push-up mini game for the loading game come on how many push-ups can we get all right all right can we get to 10 can we get to 10 no okay all Right loaded the game in pretty fast but there we go yep Ready all right come on come on all right but yeah no I’m just like kind of surprised how well this actually ran if oh my gosh okay all right all right all right all right all right all right There we go there we go there we go um at least we know it runs well but yeah this thing can also emulate GameCube really well as you guys can see I’m pretty sure I’m upscaled by a little bit I’m I actually kind of forgot what I Set this to but you know for quick games like Mario Kart I just love playing stuff like this on on here and we managed to win that too yeah let’s go all right so here’s the game we actually tried last time in the original review this is GTA or Grand Theft Auto Vice City the normal one uh that’s the Android app actually so this one has full controller support and it honestly works like completely perfectly I always forget that there are just full Grand offt Auto games in the Google Play Store and since they have controller Support a device like this seems like really fun to play through this game on here all right so now here’s a fun one this is um genin impact and okay so here’s a really weird fun fact about this game this game’s obviously a mobile game a console game a computer game Right and notice how I say console game right so normally you would think this game has controller support and it does on console on PC and on iOS but for some reason not on Android so normally you’d think I’m just you know kind kind of um playing with the touch controls where Actually I’m not I’m actually using controllers and the way I’m able to do that is this pimax portal actually has this cool feature where I uh moving from the side first of all there’s a lot of options here that uh you know help you mess with volume help you mess with the Brightness of the screen and all that but what we want to mess with here is this thing called keym which is key mapping where you can actually program you know controls onto literally any game now I will say um before you do that though I would look up some of the Games that um don’t have I guess controller support like let’s say pubg or Cod mobile I think it’s actually banable if you do something like this so definitely check on The Games first but I’m pretty sure for a game like genin this should be totally okay I I wouldn’t See why not considering even though this is like an online game you are technically playing solo the majority of the time so yeah I think there’s a really fun way to play genin too you just kind of like you know program everything you need on here and just Kind of play the game how you want it to be all right so this is the setting screen and the reason I want to show you guys this is because I did want to show you guys the display settings as you guys can see this is um all the settings You can kind of mess with you can play up to 4K at 120 htz I usually just do um 1080 120 HZ because I don’t don’t really play a lot of games that would be in 4k but this does have a 4K LCD display on it just I think that’s the version I Have I think there’s a version where there an OLED and the reason for that is because as you guys can see over here there is a VR mode I don’t have the VR headset so I haven’t been able to test that out but you can that’s why this is Kind of a device where you can remove the controls is because you can actually turn this into a VR device if you wanted to but yeah overall um you know months later I kind of just use the stin to kind of like play old games from my Childhood and all that and you know Android games obviously you know just kind of hang out and just use this thing to kind of just play whatever I want whenever I feel like it so that’s pretty much going to be it for today’s video like I said earlier if you want to check Out the IND goo campc everything will be linked underneath that like button in the description
