TL;DR The upcoming Android handheld from MANGMI was teased again, revealing likely specifications.
The now-redacted teaser reveals an older Snapdragon chip with ample RAM and storage.
The brand also teased a host of colors, including a retro Game Boy-inspired combo.
The segment of Android-based gaming handhelds appears to have exploded with countless different options available at affordable prices. Another upcoming entrant in this category is the MANGMI Pocket Max, which has already garnered attention following the momentum from the company’s earlier $90 console.
Last week, MANGMI teased the design and display specifications we should expect on the upcoming Android handheld, Pocket Max. More recently, the brand’s official X handle posted an image revealing the specifications, including the hardware powering the upcoming handheld.

While the image was taken down shortly after — perhaps because it was shared rashly, a good Samaritan saved and shared it on Reddit. The image reveals more details about the handheld, including a Snapdragon 865 at the helm, confirming previous leaks.

We’ve seen affordable Android handhelds, including the Retroid Pocket 5 and Flip 2, rely on it to emulate lighter PS3 or Nintendo Switch (1st Gen) games with ease. The Pocket Max is positioned as a device for emulating PS2 and PSP, so the hardware should fly.
