🕹️ MagicX Zero 40 – First Impressions Are In! 🕹️
The MagicX Zero 40 is a new handheld aiming for a unique niche – a compact device with a vertical display! Here’s the rundown:
- What is it? A portable handheld with a 4” vertical screen, running Android and sporting a surprisingly functional launcher. Think DS/arcade vibes!
- Specs: Allwinner A133P CPU, 2GB RAM, 64/128GB storage (microSD), 4300mAh battery, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.
- Design & Controls: It’s…different! The vertical screen and inline shoulder buttons make it stand out. Controls are decent, though not groundbreaking.
Display: Works really* well for vertical games (think arcade classics, Pinball, DS-style games), with a software separator to mimic a dual-screen experience.
- Software: The custom “Dawn Launcher” is well-designed for the vertical screen and easy to navigate.
- Price: $75 – $83. A bit pricey for the specs, but potentially worth it for the unique form factor.
- Who is it for? People looking for a dedicated vertical gaming device or a unique handheld experience. Not necessarily a powerhouse, but a solid option for specific game types.
Bottom Line: It’s a weird little handheld, but surprisingly good! If you’re into vertical games or want something different, it might be worth checking out, especially during a sale!
