Globally Launched and Showcasing the Price
Mangmi announced the global launch dates for its Air X gaming handheld on October 15 for pre-orders. Details on promotional pricing, as well as major hardware specifications, were revealed making the device a budget buy in a competitive world featuring other contenders such as Anbernic RG476H, Ayaneo Pocket AIR Mini, etc.
Global Launch Along with Special Promotions
After a slight delay from the original mid-September target, Mangmi provided a clear launch window and incentives to early birds:
- Pre-Order Begins: October 15
- Promotional Windows: October 15 to October 21
- Normal Pricing: $89.99
- Promotional Pricing: $79.99 (with branded carry case for free)
- Extra 5 bucks off: A coupon worth $5 is being offered for new users who register at Mangmi's official site.
Purpose and Performance Key Specs
The Mangmi Air X is based on a mix of useful hardware features with retro gaming in mind:
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 662
- Display: 5.5-inch IPS display at 1080p resolution
- Battery: 5,000 mAh
- Controls: Hall effect joysticks and triggers for extra durability and precision
Although its chipset, Snapdragon 662, may be considered far behind on paper in raw performance against its competitors, Qualcomm's more mature driver support may have an impact on narrowing that gap with real-world application of emulation. The Air X does, however, manage to set itself apart with a larger physical size amongst its competing contemporaries.
