MagicX XU Mini M is a gaming handheld launched in 2024. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 2.8" IPS LCD display (640 x 480). 2600 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
Inside is a quad-core ARM Rockchip processor running between 1.3 and 1.5 GHz, a Mali-G31 MP2 GPU at 650 MHz and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, cooled passively by a heatsink. Classic platforms from Atari, NES and SNES to Game Boy Advance, Mega Drive, Neo Geo and PlayStation run comfortably. N64, PSP and Dreamcast are mostly playable, but not every title reaches full speed. The supported list also covers Nintendo DS, Sega Saturn, MS-DOS, ScummVM, PICO-8 and many retro computers.
The 2.8-inch IPS screen runs at 640 x 480 in a 4:3 aspect ratio, with roughly 286 PPI at 60 Hz. The 4:3 shape is a natural fit for retro games, and OCA lamination under tempered glass delivers a crisp image and a durable surface.
For controls, the XU Mini M offers an upper-placed cross D-pad, four face buttons and symmetric dual Hall Effect thumbsticks with L3/R3. The shoulders include L1, R1, L2 and R2 in a horizontal layout, plus dedicated function, power, reset and volume buttons. There is no rumble, and the body is made of plastic.
The battery is rated at 2600 mAh, and the device features two top-facing USB-C ports. Audio comes from bottom-facing dual stereo speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Storage relies on dual microSD slots, handy for keeping the system separate from your game library.
The console runs Linux and modding is permitted, opening the door to alternative firmware and customisation. Brightness is adjusted through the menu, while volume has dedicated buttons.
Ideal for: players looking for a very compact, affordable retro handheld with a 4:3 screen, Hall Effect sticks and solid emulation up to PlayStation, with a decent reach into N64, PSP and Dreamcast.
