MANGMI might not be a name you've heard of when it comes to retro emulation handhelds, and that's because the MANGMI AIR X is their first entry into the market, but it's already making a splash.

MANGMI AIR X Pricing

Featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chip with 4GB of RAM, a 5.5" Full HD display, and a sizable 5000mAh battery that should give you hours of retro gaming per charge.

The device is quite cheap, so set expectations accordingly, but it's certainly capable of emulating systems up to the PS1, Nintendo 64, and PSP. Therefore, it could be a great little addition to your handheld collection if you want a smaller and easier-to-hold device to handle those older systems. It weighs less than 300G and has molded grips, so it should be a comfortable hold.

The MANGMI AIR X has a dual analog controller setup, so games requiring analog control are covered; the thumbsticks are also clickable as L3 and R3 buttons. Plus, the device has a 3.5mm headphone port and a MicroSD card slot for expanded storage, if the internal 64GB is not enough for you.
