MagicX Pocket Dream Pairs a 3.3-Inch OLED With a Vertical Design

If you’ve ever felt that horizontal handhelds are just a little too “wide” for your pocket, MagicX might have the solution—or at least a very interesting prototype.

The company has teased a new device called the “Pocket Dream,” a vertical handheld designed to flip the script on the traditional layout. It’s essentially a vertical sibling to their upcoming Mini Dream, sporting the same punchy 3.3-inch custom OLED display.

Here is the quick lowdown on what we know so far:

  • The Vibe: A vertical, portrait-style form factor for a different grip experience.
  • The Brains: It will offer four different SoC variants, covering both Linux and Android enthusiasts.
  • The Quirk: It’s opting for a “joystick-first” control layout, which is a bit unconventional in this space.

There is a small catch: MagicX is famous for announcing things that occasionally vanish into the ether. While the “Mini Dream” is officially moving into its second production phase, the Pocket Dream remains in the “exploring” stage. We’re crossing our fingers that the dual-joystick layout doesn’t feel too cramped, but for now, it’s definitely a device worth watching.
