Introduction:
Gemei is a very popular brand of PMPs, mostly because of their products being able to play emulated games. This new player, the X-760+, add something unusual that i’ve never seen before on players. You will find out by reading this review.
Design:
The Gemei X-760+’s design is rather simple, having a portable game system look, dark grey and black colors dominates the player, the way the Gemei logo and model number was printed on the player let us think we could use it for something else, for example vertical videos.
Screen:
This player use a 3 inches QVGA screen, able to display 16.7 millions colors, very good to watch colorful videos! The viewing angles are pretty good in general, so you shouldn’t have problem with this screen.
User Interface:
The interface for this player is composed of a D-pad on the left (4 buttons for each direction), 4 buttons for different actions (A, B, X and Triangle button), and also a silver button on top of the player for turning it on/off, and also being used as the play/pause button. There’s also a SD card slot on the right side of the player, compatible with SDHC cards.
The GUI:
The Graphic User Interface is similar to the PSP games system, but sometimes when you go back in menus, you can see the interface is very similar to the Ingenic/Chinachip series, since this player use the newer JZ4740 main chip, but with an improved GUI. Very easy to use, except for the emulators being in Chinese only
Audio:
The audio on the X-760+ is pretty good, as expected from Chinachip chips series. The compatibility include MP3, WMA, WAV, APE, FLAC and AMR formats. Also compatible with lyrics (.LRC file format). This player is equipped with 2 speakers, which mean stereo sound even without earphones!
Video:
Video compatibility is great, supporting AVI, MP4, RM/RMVB, ASF, and FLV (Flash Video) files,found on Youtube,Dailymotion, etc… I suggest to use videos from 650kbps to 800kbps of bitrate. ViDrop is a free videos converter, and a link can be found on AllPMP forum to download it.
Photos:
This player’s compatibility with pictures/photos are JPEGs, GIFs, PNGs and BMPs, it can handle large pictures size, you can do rotations on them as well, you can use them as backgrounds in your player. Note that pictures that are too big (for example 2500 x 2000) won’t work, it shows a grey color, so just be sure to shrink the pictures before.
Other Features:
-FM Radio
Radio reception doesn’t depend on the earphones, but it’s always better to listen to the radio with earphones, and others around you will probably tell you to turn it off
-Games
The X-760+ come with emulators which can play GBA games, but some more emulators can be downloaded from the official Gemei website. What surprized me is the fact Gemei made a 3D game for this PMP, a racing game where you have to drift to gain points. The controls are a bit hard, but it must be the game itself.
-Recording
You can record your own voice with the built-in microphone as well as recording the FM Radio. Recording quality is good for anyone who want to record something on-the-go.
-Text Viewing (E-book)
The player support text (TXT) files, to use as memos and anything else youdon’t want to forget.
-TV Out
The Gemei X-760+ have a TV-Out which mean you can connect this player on a TV with the included cable. This feature have 2 regions setting: N (for NTSC, 60Hz) and P (for PAL/Secam, 50Hz), so you can make it work on any composite-compatible TV in the world. There’s also a 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio you can select.
Accessories included:
The accessories included in the box are earphones, USB 5-pins cable and the TV-out cable. Other things included are the general manual with the player model and serial number on a sticker), a manual especially made for the X-760+, and a triangle-shaped paper with a stamp on the back indicating the date it was made. The only thing is a missing carrying bag. Both manuals are in Chinese, but you will find the player very easy to navigate around.
Conclusion:
The X-760+ is really good, a good 3 inches 16.7 millions colors QVGA screen, able to use emulators, a great chip (Ingenic JZ4740) with a PSP-like main interface, excellent files compatibility, 4gb internal memory with a SD/SDHC cards slot, built-in stereo speakers. For its price tag, it’s well worth your money! If you’re going to buy this player, don’t forget to get a screen protector along with it.
