Mangmi’s new Air X aims to make retro gaming truly affordable without skimping on the essentials. Built around Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 662 and paired with 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, this Android 14 handheld is pitched as powerful enough to run many PSP titles at a 2x integer scale, delivering cleaner visuals on a compact screen. To elevate the feel, Mangmi includes Hall effect joysticks for smooth, drift-resistant control and stacked triggers for modern-game comfort.
Storage and expandability are covered with 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 on board and a microSD card slot for your library. A small active cooling system helps sustain performance during longer sessions, while a 5,000 mAh battery with 15 W wired charging keeps downtime to a minimum.
Despite the hardware, the Air X stays portable. The device measures approximately 203 x 87 x 17 mm and weighs 286 g, striking a balance between handheld comfort and on-the-go convenience. It’s available in three colors and ships with a case included.
