MagicX unveils release roadmap for Touch One 35 and Retro 45 retro gaming handhelds

MagicX has mapped out its next two releases, with the Touch One 35 slated to arrive first in September and the Retro 45 targeting a December debut. The company is keeping most details under wraps for now, but it has settled one key spec debate: the Touch One 35 will run on the Helio G85 rather than the older Helio P65. MagicX has already shown the device’s design in early hands-on footage, hinting at a near-final look ahead of launch.

Confirming the Helio G85 is a noteworthy step, as it typically brings stronger graphics and smoother day-to-day performance than the P65. That positions the Touch One 35 as the more capable option in this duo, especially for users who value responsive interfaces and casual gaming.

The Retro 45 is expected to roll out in December. While MagicX has yet to share a full render, it has confirmed the device will use the Allwinner A133P, the same chip found in the Mini Zero 28 and Zero 40. This choice suggests a focus on efficiency and affordability, making the Retro 45 an appealing pick for fans of simpler workloads and retro-friendly experiences.

MagicX is likely to reveal more about the Retro 45 once the Touch One 35 hits shelves. Expect details like full specs, pricing, and availability to follow the September release. If you’re weighing your options, the Touch One 35 looks set to offer the newer performance profile with its Helio G85, while the Retro 45 is shaping up to be a practical, value-driven alternative powered by the proven A133P.

Key takeaways:
– Touch One 35 launch planned for September, featuring the Helio G85
– Design already teased in early hands-on footage
– Retro 45 targeted for December, running the Allwinner A133P
– A133P also powers the Mini Zero 28 and Zero 40
