TL;DR
- The budget-focused handheld maker MANGMI has revealed its next device, called the Pocket Max.
- It features a massive 7-inch 144Hz OLED panel, plus full-size sticks and front-facing speakers.
- Benchmark leaks suggest it may feature a Snapdragon 865, which would help keep costs lower than other large handhelds.
Android gaming handhelds have had a huge year, with devices of all shapes and sizes more affordable than ever. One standout hit was the PSP-focused MANGMI AIR X, which blew us away for less than $100. The company has just teased its second handheld release, and so far, it’s looking like another winner.
Called the MANGMI Pocket Max, it lives up to its name with a massive 7-inch 144Hz OLED panel. That alone puts it in rarified territory, since only a handful of Android gaming handhelds can match that size. The AYN Odin 2 Portal, AYANEO Pocket EVO, and Razer Edge are the only true OLED alternatives, but they’re all expensive, costing anywhere from $400 to $800 for the best experience.
