GPD is Working on a Portable Android Console with Replaceable Control Modules

 

GPD-XP - portable console from the Chinese company GPD

Chinese company GPD is cooking up something exciting for the gaming community – a slick portable Android console named GPD-XP that the company showed off on their Discord channel.

Imagine a Nintendo Switch vibe but with a twist – detachable control modules that you can swap out. On the left side, you've got an analog stick, D-pad, and system buttons for your navigation needs. The right side is where the magic happens – choose between a classic setup with ABXY keys and an extra stick or a streamlined version with five buttons, perfect for MOBA game action. Need a blank slate? Just pop a plug-in, and you're good to go.

But that's not all; they've even thrown in a camera in the mix, tucked away in the lower-left corner of the GPD-XP screen. Minimal disruption, maximum fun.

Device characteristics:

  • display 6.81 inches, touchscreen,
  • ARM-based processor (rumored to be MediaTek Helio G95),
  • RAM 6 GB,
  • built-in memory of UFS 2.1 standard 128 GB,
  • microSD card slot,
  • battery capacity 7,000 mAh (according to developers, it should be enough for 12 hours of battery life),
  • 4G support (only for Internet access, you won't be able to call or send SMS).

This bad boy runs on a customized Android build, and the international version is set to rock Android 11 with all the Google services on deck. As for the price tag, we're still in the dark – stay tuned for the deets. Game on!
