In a recent post on their official YouTube page, Mangmi released the full spec sheet on their upcoming Mangmi Pocket Max. Having recently spent some time with the Mangmi Air X, I’m excited about the upcoming Pocket Max.
What We Know
Mangmi teased some details on the Pocket Max back in December, and now it looks like they’ve given us the full spec sheet on their upcoming device that confirms some of the details released in the initial tweet that Mangmi deleted.
- Display: 7″ AMOLED 1920×1080 at 144Hz
- CPU: SnapDragon 865
- GPU: Adreno 650
- RAM: 8GB LPDDR4X
- Storage: 128GB
- Battery: 8000mAh
- Connectivity: WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.1
- Weight: 450 grams
- Size: 255 x 101 x 17.5 mm
Mangmi Pocket Max Specs
The one detail that wasn’t released in this announcement, and arguably the most important, is the price of the Pocket Max. What made the Mangmi Air X so good was that it punched well above it’s weight price-wise, coming in at around $100. Having the same configuration as the Retroid Pocket Mini V2, we have a ballpark pricing model of around $200. There’s a lot of market saturation in this price and specification range, though, so it might be hard for Mangmi to find footing unless they can manage to price this a bit more competitively.
Moving Forward
With the increase in prices around memory these days, along with the Pocket Max now having an AMOLED screen and 8GB RAM, it’s hard to imagine that this device comes in under $200. If Mangmi can manage to release the Pocket Max at an attractive price, though, it could be another great option in the emulation handheld market.
