Ultimate Handheld Emulation! MOQI i7s Review Android Gaming Device

Asphalt 9 Legends Performance is Outstanding

The Asphalt 9 Legends performance is outstanding, and I have been really impressed with the emulation performance on this device. It definitely outperforms the GPD XD or the XD Plus. This is a Dreamcast emulator called Redream and downloaded from the Google Play Store. I got to test two games to evaluate its capabilities. The FPS (Frames Per Second) value in the top-left hand corner shows that we are getting constant 60 frames, which is drastic.

The Nintendo DS Emulator: Smooth Performance

I also tested the Nintendo DS emulator, which is not gonna have any trouble playing any DS game on here as long as it works with this emulator. It's gonna run at full speed even with high-resolution 3D rendering. I had to throw a couple of PSP games in here, and I'm using ppsspp from the Google Play Store. The first game is Tekken Dark Resurrection, which is being played at 3x resolution, and we are getting full-speed emulation here. It's impressive to see how well this device can handle demanding emulators.

Hard-to-Emulate Games: Smooth Performance

I also tested a harder-to-emulate game, God of War Chains of Olympus, at 3x resolution. Although I noticed a couple of dips here and there around 58, overall, I'm really impressed with this device. If you drop the resolution down to 2x, you'll get a constant 60 throughout. Even at 64, this device will not have any trouble running games.

GameCube Emulation: The Dolphin Emulator

Finally, I tested the dolphin emulator running on this device. I'm using the Vulcan back-end, and it's playing Soulcalibur, which is running smoothly at 60 FPS. Although there are occasional dips down to around 55, overall, this is very impressive. GameCube emulation on Android devices has come a long way, and it's getting better every week with new development builds available.

Initial Impressions of the Mochi i7s

I'm not going to claim that every single GameCube game will run fine on this device because I know it won't, but there are many games that will run at full speed. Games like Mario Kart, Soulcalibur, Timesplitters, and Mario Sunshine have been tested, and they all ran smoothly with the dolphin emulator.

Recommendation: Mochi i7s over GPD XD or XD Plus

Personally, I love this device, and it's much better than I ever thought it would be. If you're in the native Android gaming scene, this definitely has you covered. You can play Fortnite and PUBG just like you saw. These are two of the more intensive games that will run on an Android device.

The Device: A Worthwhile Investment

The reason I love this so much is the emulation performance. I didn't show off any older games like NES, 2600, PC Engine, or SNES because they're all gonna run fine on here. But I did show off some higher-end emulators that struggle on lower-end devices, and it definitely does an amazing job.

Note: The device is worth the investment, especially for those who already have a Galaxy S10e-like phone. If you don't need the physical buttons, there's no reason to buy this, but if you do, it's definitely worth it.

Conclusion

That's pretty much it for this video. I really appreciate you watching. If you're interested in picking one of these up, I will leave links in the description below. I'm also going to leave the full specs down below. I will be doing another video on this if you want to see some more GameCube games being emulated. Let me know what you want to see in the comments below. If you have any questions, just let me know. But like always, thanks for watching.
