MagicX is gearing up to make some waves in early 2025 with an exciting lineup of retro gaming handhelds, aiming to capture the hearts of gaming enthusiasts while offering some serious tech for under $150.
The latest scoop reveals that MagicX is set to launch three new devices, all under the updated “XU Touch Two” series. Interestingly, these have replaced the previously expected XU Mini 2 and XU Touch One models. Let’s dive into what each variant brings to the table.
First up, the smallest of the trio, the XU Touch Two (3.2″), features a crisp 3.2-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels, and a 4:3 aspect ratio—a real nod to classic gaming proportions. Next, the slightly larger XU Touch Two (3.9″) boasts a vibrant OLED screen, delivering 1,240 x 1,080 pixels resolution at a 1.15:1 aspect ratio, making colors truly pop. Lastly, for those who crave a bigger view, the XU Touch Two (5.5″) comes with a 5.5-inch display, also offering 1,240 x 1,080 pixels resolution and an impressive 120 Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth visuals—though the exact panel type is still under wraps.
All three models share some pretty solid internals. They are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC, paired with 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM from Samsung, and equipped with 64 GB of eMMC storage—also from Samsung. This configuration ensures fast performance and ample storage for all your favorite retro titles.
Connectivity and user experience haven’t been overlooked either. Expect 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support across the board, ensuring fast and stable connections. There’s also active cooling to keep things cool during intense gaming sessions, stereo speakers for immersive sound, and Hall effect joysticks for precise control.
The pre-sale prices are quite attractive, making these devices even more enticing. The 3.2-inch model will start at $119, the 3.9-inch variant will set you back $139, and the 5.5-inch version will be priced around $150. MagicX plans to start rolling out these handhelds as early as January or February 2025, so mark your calendars!
With these detailed specifications and competitive pricing, MagicX is definitely looking to capture the interest of retro gaming fans and tech enthusiasts alike. Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches!
