RetroHandhelds has revealed details about upcoming MagicX product releases. However, the device in question is not the XU Mini M Plus, which has been steadily be gathering pace in the last few weeks. Incidentally, the news from RetroHandhelds comes shortly after the XU Mini M (curr. $93.99 on Amazon), was discovered to be shipping with a worse chipset than advertised.
Instead, it has completely overhauled devices that were previously known as the XU Mini 2, XU Touch One, and XU Touch Two. According to RetroHandhelds, MagicX now intends to release the XU Touch Two in three variants. As a result, it seems that the XU Mini 2 and XU Touch One have been dropped altogether.
Unusually, MagicX has already provided specifications for all three devices, as well as pre-sale pricing. Added to that, the company intends to start selling at least the 3.2-inch variant in January or February 2025. Currently, MagicX is aiming to equip the three XU Touch Two devices with the following hardware:
