Remember when tech companies announced new gadgets weekly instead of yearly? MagicX, a retro handheld maker, used to live in that whirlwind era. Then came the global RAM shortage, known affectionately in industry circles as “RAMageddon,” which turned their production schedule into a ghost town. But today, theyâve popped back up with a surprise thatâs got the community buzzing.
MagicX just revealed theyâve custom-developed a 3.3-inch OLED display with a crisp 1024Ă768 resolution. This isnât just another IPS panel; itâs the real deal with the deep blacks and vivid colors OLED is famous for. Theyâre teaming up closely with their supplier to ensure quality, which is a refreshing change of pace for a brand that has been quiet for a while.
The kicker? This screen is slated to debut in a device launching in 2026. Since their upcoming Mini40 is confirmed to have a 4-inch display, this new OLED panel likely belongs to a different, yet-to-be-announced handheld. It could be a vertical design like the TrimUI Brick, or perhaps an updated version of a past model.
Weâre still waiting on confirmation that the Mini40 is actually happening, but this OLED tease suggests MagicX isnât done playing yet. Keep an eye on their Discordâsomething is definitely brewing.
