Mangmi is steadily revealing the specifications of its forthcoming Air Y series, a new pair of vertically oriented handheld devices. The company has now confirmed the processors that will power the standard Air Y and the Air Y Pro, following earlier disclosures about display specifications and charging capabilities, as well as a teaser video that offered a first look at their designs.
Processor choices draw on existing hardware
According to official information from Mangmi, the base Air Y model will run on a Snapdragon 662 processor. This is the same chip found in the company’s debut handheld, the Air X. The Air Y Pro, by contrast, will be equipped with the more powerful Snapdragon 865, the platform previously used in the Mangmi Pocket Max. The decision appears to utilize existing chip inventory, which could help keep costs down while delivering a predictable performance profile. Actual speed will depend on RAM configurations that have yet to be confirmed, though the chipsets suggest the new models will broadly match the capabilities of their predecessors.
Pricing expectations and key unknowns
While official pricing has not been set, it is reasonable to expect the Air Y and Air Y Pro to launch below the current Air X and Pocket Max price points. The Air X is currently listed at $145.99, and the newer handhelds are expected to cost less because they feature smaller, lower-resolution 60 Hz displays. Mangmi has not yet shared details on RAM, internal storage, or battery capacity, but these specifications are likely to be revealed in the coming days and will be crucial for accurate pricing forecasts.
Physical ports and early design clues
Further details from a newly released image indicate that the Air Y Pro will include a microSD card slot, a 3.5 mm audio jack, a microphone, and a USB-C port positioned on the top edge of the device. Mangmi has not shown the top of the standard Air Y, so it is unclear whether the more affordable variant carries the same port arrangement. The positioning reinforces a practical design approach, keeping essential I/O within easy reach on the upper side of the handheld.
