Ok, I got some news by GPD. G5A is discontinued but will be manufactured for OEMs. That means there will be other brands who will sell g5A (with a different name I guess), but GPD will stop selling device by themselves with their brand. I don't know why, I am not a commercial, but I guess device is not as profitable as they expected, or they want to put all their effort in new devices, I don't know.

That could be bad if all the g5a consoles are made slightly different from factory to factory , I suppose we will have to wait and see , thank you for finding out some info Skelton

No, factory is the same. Most probably new brands just put their logo in it, but I don't think there are hardware differences, because there is only 1 factory

Lol ok so I'm getting slightly frustrated by this no response from the seller. I'm about to just pay for my original order that was there before the out of stock thing came up or just get a JXD s5100b from Amazon for only $89 with prime shipping lol I'm trying to avoid the latter as I've heard that device is full of problems right. Idk would that device be ok for at most playing PSX games with open GL plugin and nova 3 at full framerate?

Sad news, i guess. After 4 months i still play with this handheld mostly everyday. From now on the G5A will just become a collector's item. :B

Got this from Mr wang

Dear Robert, thanks for your message and sorry for our late reply. We just come back to work today after HK fair. I'm afraid that we don't have G7 right now. Only G7A from now on. Awfully sorry for that!

Hi Skelton
Mr wang is refunding me for the 2 x g7's
I would be afraid to even buy a g5a now , because they have stopped production on both g7 and g5a so cannot be sure g5a's being sold now are with different hardware aswell.
At least one person has received a g7 that was actually a g7a
So this could be the same for g5a's being sold at the minuet

I was gonna order a g7 off aliexpress, good thing I saw this first.  Are there any other online sources for the g7?  I might just pony up for a shield portable now...
