What's the difference between these and the GPD XD+?

Quite a lot actually, please see the table below. As far as non-technical differences go, the speakers in the XD+ are definitely inferior, as are the shoulder buttons and the screen. The XD+'s 5 GHz WiFi radio is better for streaming games through SteamLink. Obviously the x15 is an entirely different form factor that some prefer

What's the difference between the X18 and the X15?

Not a lot as you can see above. The X15 has a different form factor, 32 GB of internal storage, and 2 USB-A expansion ports. otherwise it will perform similarly, though it will feel very different in the hands. The x15 apparently has 5 GHz WiFi, which will work better with SteamLink (though PowKiddy's spewcs only list 2.4 GHz setups). However, the X15 also has a much smaller battery and weaker speakers.
