MANGMI

TL;DR MANGMI has revealed the full specs for its upcoming Pocket Max handheld.

It will feature a large 7-inch 144Hz OLED screen, a Snapdragon 865, and an 8000mAh battery.

The company still hasn’t revealed pricing or a release date, but it should be coming soon.

The retro gaming handheld space has grown exponentially over the past few years, but if there’s one newcomer to keep an eye on, it’s MANGMI. The company’s first handheld, the AIR X, was a fantastic budget device, and today it revealed the full spec sheet for its sophomore effort, the Pocket Max.

Previous announcements have already revealed that the Pocket Max will feature a Snapdragon 865 SoC, paired with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage. That would have been a flagship gaming handheld back in 2023, but nowadays it places it firmly in the mid-range category.

The full spec sheet, seen below, reveals that it will sport a massive 8000mAh battery. That’s the same size as premium handhelds like the AYN Odin 3 and AYANEO Pocket S2, and it should provide excellent battery life with the relatively modest power draw of the Snapdragon 865. That said, the handheld will also feature a 7-inch FHD 144Hz AMOLED display, which may tip the scales.

Apart from that, the Pocket Max will feature full-size TMR sticks, Hall triggers, and a unique “Magnetic Module” system for the buttons and D-pad. Shown off in late December, this allows you to pop out the controls to reorient them, similar to the AYANEO 3 or the upcoming X5 Alteron controller from GameSir and Hyperkin.
