Mangmi has officially announced pricing and pre-order availability for its two new retro handheld consoles, the Mangmi Air Y and Mangmi Air Y Pro. Pre-orders will open on August 13, with discounted prices available for the first 72 hours before returning to full retail cost.

The Mangmi Air Y features a Qualcomm SD662 SoC, 3 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and 32 GB of eMMC storage. During the promotional period, it will be available for $89.99.

The more capable Mangmi Air Y Pro is powered by a Qualcomm SD865 with an "Adreno-650" GPU. It comes in two configurations: 4 GB RAM with 64 GB UFS 2.1 storage for $145.99, or 8 GB RAM with 128 GB UFS 3.1 storage for $175.99.

Regular pricing will take effect on August 16, raising the costs to $94.99, $159.99, and $189.99 respectively. Mangmi has not yet specified shipping dates.

Technical Specifications

Both devices feature a 4.2-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280×960 pixels in a 4:3 aspect ratio, ideal for retro gaming without scaling issues.

The Air Y Pro distinguishes itself with dual analog joysticks, making it suitable for emulating more demanding systems like PlayStation 2, Wii, or Nintendo 3DS. The standard Air Y includes only a single joystick and is not intended for such emulation tasks.

Beyond the CPU differences, both models share active cooling, USB-C ports, microSD card slots, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Connectivity differs slightly: the Air Y Pro supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, while the Air Y is limited to Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. Additionally, the Pro model includes stereo speakers, whereas the standard version has mono audio.

Both handhelds are powered by a 5000 mAh battery. The Air Y Pro supports up to 18W charging, compared to 15W for the Air Y.
