Months have gone by since we last got an update from MagicX. While Anbernic and Ayaneo are busy rolling out new retro handheld devices, the One 35 is still the last gadget that MagicX launched after the Zero 40 (currently priced at $81.99 on Amazon). Nonetheless, the company is working on the One Retro 45, One Flip 50, and Two DS 46.
New Handhelds on the Horizon
Recently, MagicX has announced that two new handhelds are on their way. At this moment, it’s not clear if they will release the One Retro 45, One Flip 50, or Two DS 46 first. While we wait for further information about those three devices, MagicX has provided some early details about the Two Dream Light and Two Dream Pro.
Specs and Features
From what we can see, both of these models aim to be alternatives to the well-liked Retroid Pocket 2S, featuring horizontal designs and 4.5-inch screens. As shown in the image below, these screens have a resolution of 1,080 x 1,440 pixels and a 4:3 aspect ratio. Moreover, both devices come with Hall effect joysticks and plastic bodies.
MagicX plans to differentiate the Light and Pro versions by using different MediaTek chipsets. So far, it looks like the Light might come equipped with the Dimensity 7050. In comparison, the Pro version could utilize the more advanced Dimensity 7350, which performs around 10% better in our tests. It seems that MagicX aims to price the Light under $99, with the Pro slightly higher. However, the release dates are still unknown at this point.
