MagicX is giving its compact retro gaming handheld a splash of color. The Zero 40 now comes in Emerald Green, a translucent finish that adds a nostalgic, see-through twist to the lineup alongside the existing Black and White versions. While the look is new, the hardware remains the same as the other models, keeping the focus on an eye-catching design without changing what’s under the hood.
The Zero 40 is built around a 4-inch IPS display with a 480 x 800 resolution in a vertical orientation. That portrait layout is perfect for classic TATE shooters like 1942 and makes it possible to emulate both Nintendo DS screens stacked one above the other. If you enjoy handheld emulation, this form factor opens up a lot of versatility across retro libraries.
Powering the device is the Allwinner A133P chipset paired with 2 GB of DDR4 RAM. A 4,300 mAh battery handles extended play sessions, so you can sink hours into your favorite classics. The Emerald Green version is offered as a bundle with either a 64 GB or 128 GB microSD card, priced at $71 and $79 respectively at launch.
Key highlights:
– New Emerald Green translucent shell; Black and White options remain available
– 4-inch IPS display, 480 x 800 portrait resolution
– Ideal for DS-style dual-screen emulation and vertical arcade shooters
– Allwinner A133P processor with 2 GB DDR4 RAM
– 4,300 mAh battery for long sessions
– Two bundle options with microSD cards: 64 GB ($71) or 128 GB ($79)
If you’ve been waiting for a Zero 40 with more personality, the Emerald Green variant delivers a retro-inspired look without changing the proven formula. It’s a budget-friendly handheld for emulation fans who want the flexibility of a portrait display and the charm of a translucent design.
