A better Dingoo?

As I mention here, China is a very competitive market for PMPs.  Check this out:

Here’s a video review (there are several reviews on Youtube):

This is the SmartQ T5II, which seems to do everything the Dingoo can, including, importantly, play GBA. Megadrive, SNES.and NEO GEO games – at least as well as the Dingoo it would seem from the video.  It has a faster chip (600mhz) and has a nifty trick (see video) which lets you connect another controller (where you’d get this though, is not clear) to the unit wirelessly, so you can play two player games, on say, your SNES.

It’s about the same size (SmartQ: 112×58×13 mm v Dingoo 125x55.5x14 mm) and 10g lighter (SmartQ 100 gm v Dingoo 110 gm)

It’s ugly as sin though, IMHO.  It doesn’t appear to have shoulder buttons. And about 107 Euro - without postage, is a bit pricier than our favourite white chicklet (the Dingoo clocks in at about 65 euro, delivered, from DealExtreme). You can check out the price and the full specs of the SmartQ and buy one here (though there’s nothing in this one for me, and it’s not a Dingoo, so don’t do it!!).

This public service announcement is brought to you in the interest of letting the market decide!  We ain’t no rabid fan boyz here, dawg!

  1. The controls look awful.

  2. this thing has been around since last year when it did battle with the similarly badly designed JXD 301. it only has 3 buttons and they are arranged horribly, now guess why it never got as much attention as the dingoo is getting now...
