Upcoming Android handheld with a premium 7-inch OLED pairs exciting specs with a tempting color 50 minutes ago The upcoming Android handheld from MANGMI was teased again, revealing likely specifications.

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.

That includes white, black, and a combination of cream and mocha hues inspired by the classic Game Boy. All three color variants get chrome inserts around the grips. As already teased, the button layout includes two asymmetrically placed joysticks in an Xbox-like layout. There are small cutouts on the front for two speakers, and a larger one on the back is likely reserved for letting out heat. MANGMI hasn’t revealed much about the Pocket Max’s availability. However, with the Reddit thread linked above and MANGMI’s Discord channel riddled with complaints about delays in the delivery of the $90 AIR X , we could expect some delay in the Pocket Max’s arrival as well.
