What new features on Dolphin XP-005L?
Dolphin XP-005L ≈Dolphin XP-005 software(function) + Condor XC-MINI Plus hardware.
Compared to Dolphin XP-005:
300$, we'll get
An HD screen(you don't have to operate on your phone or buy a Key Tool Max),
A larger protection cover(Some customers gave a feedback that they wanted to buy a separate shell for Dolphin XP-005),
Online update(Firmware update via Upgrade Kit is a big trouble to some customers)
Lower weight(Easier to carry out)
M5 clamp(Make operation easier).
Compared to Condor XC-MINI Plus:
450$, we'll lose
A larger screen, offline operation. However, XC-Mini Plus doesn't have a built-in battery so hard to take it out.
Personal review
Basically for me, 300 bucks to get a screen, don't worth it. Just pay more 50 bucks and I can get Key tool max plus XP-005. And lower weight and the combination M5(M1, M2) also don't interest me, but I'd like to pay for online update, because when the device needs a firmware update, you have to request a link to the update software application through the support section of their phone app. I couldn't get it to communicate with my Dolphin xp005 over USB, and eventually I do the update using a friends computer.
As for Condor Mini Plus, you can see the biggest difference is that it allows you to cut keys without network support. It's very useful, but the price is too high. See if you really need that function.
