MANGMI’s Pocket Max is Powered by a Rather Familiar Processor

MANGMI’s new Pocket Max just dropped a bombshell—or at least, a slightly smudged one. The device’s heart? The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. Yes, that Snapdragon. The same chip that powered your 2020 flagship phone. And yes, it’s still a solid pick for retro gaming.
Here’s the twist: MANGMI first tweeted it’d come with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage… then deleted it. Oops. The updated post only confirmed the chip, leaving RAM and storage in limbo. Could’ve been a typo. Or maybe global memory prices forced a downgrade to the more common 6GB version—like the Retroid Pocket Mini V2. Either way, it’s not a dealbreaker. The 865 still crushes NDS, PS1, and even early GameCube emulation.
The real mystery? Price. MANGMI’s Discord teased an “extremely sweet” early bird deal—meaning you’ll probably pay double later. Classic move. If you’re itching to grab one, now’s the time to watch your inbox. And maybe stock up on snacks—you’ll need ‘em while you’re reliving the golden age of gaming on a device that’s basically a smartphone from 2019… but cooler. 🕹️
