The MagicX XU HD gaming handheld has been revealed. The upcoming compact gaming handheld is touted as a strong competitor of the Anbernic RG34 and three color variants have already been shown for the model. The MagicX XU HD is allegedly coming with a highly affordable price tag.

MagicX could be close to the release of its next retro gaming handheld, the XU HD. Previously, the company developed the MagicX XU Mini M as a competitor of the Anbernic RG28XX and Miyoo Mini A300 although it is yet to be released. A tipster @forthenextlive claims that MagicX is actively developing the XU HD and the images bear a strong semblance to the Anbernic RG35XX 2024.
The XU HD is equipped with a 3.2-inch 4:3 display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. If the resolution of the model is true, then it is more dense than the RG35XX with a 3.5-inch screen and 640 x 480 pixels resolution.
The upcoming retro gaming handheld omits joysticks but has a d-pad, ABXY buttons, start/select buttons, and two pairs of shoulder buttons. It is also rumored that the gaming handheld omits support for Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity in a minimalist cost design.

The MagicX XU HD will run on the MagicX OS based on Linux and also features an A9 architecture Chinese chip. The MagicX XU HD is capable of emulating popular retro games from Nintendo DS, Nintendo 54, and PlayStation 1. There are no details yet on the release date for the model but it is speculated that it will be priced around $40.
