The GameMT EX5 is Coming Soon, Complete With a Performance Dial

Meet the GameMT EX5—because why just have a thumbstick when you can also have a kitchen timer on your gaming handheld?

Yes, you read that right. The EX5’s standout feature isn’t a 4K screen or AI upscaling—it’s a physical dial labeled “Performance, Balance, Pwrsave-Auto,” glinting like it was borrowed from your grandma’s old microwave. And honestly? We’re weirdly here for it. In a world of sleek, minimalist designs, this thing leans into chaotic charm.

Under the hood? A MediaTek Helio G81, 4GB RAM, and a surprisingly crisp 5-inch 1080p IPS display—solid for budget handhelds, but not exactly “next-gen.” Still, running Android with ES-DE and Pegasus frontends means it’ll happily chew through retro games and cloud titles like a digital Pac-Man. One thumbstick? Weird, but maybe it’s a stealthy nod to classic Game Boy Advance SP vibes.

No release date yet—just a teaser video with the ominous tagline: “Will be released soon.” (Translation: probably next Tuesday, or maybe never.) But if you’ve ever wanted to tweak your frame rate with a dial that looks like it belongs in a 2003 kitchen, the EX5 might just be your weird little soulmate.

Stay tuned. Or don’t. We’ll tell you when it drops.
