The Nintendo DS was an absolutely groundbreaking handheld, and I have fond memories of sneaking a few turns of Advance Wars: Dual Strike under my desk in high school. Only a few companies have tried to recapture the two-screen magic, and aside from some prohibitively expensive devices, none have succeeded.

But the MagicX Zero 40 takes a different approach. Instead of opting for a clamshell form-factor with two screens, it combines them into a longer, vertical screen with a flat layout. It’s a novel approach, but is it good enough to replace the OG hardware from two decades ago?
