Mangmi has officially unveiled the Pocket Max handheld console, confirming several key features and showcasing the device in new color variants. The company shared updated renders on its X channel, revealing that the device will be available in Black, White, and Retro GB color options.

The Pocket Max features a 7-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a Full HD resolution. According to Mangmi, the screen supports HDR, a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, and 155% sRGB color gamut coverage. The front of the device uses a glass panel that extends beyond the display area.

The Retro GB variant features a beige body with dark red shoulder buttons, D-pad, and ABXY buttons, drawing inspiration from classic handheld consoles. The Black and White models come with more standard matching controls, while all three include active cooling systems with visible air intake and exhaust vents on the back and top.

Mangmi has not confirmed the full internal specifications of the Pocket Max. However, leaks and reports suggest that the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset. The price point is expected to be around $200.

The company is currently conducting a community poll on its Discord server to gather feedback on preferred color variants. The final color lineup for launch may depend on the results of this ongoing vote. More hardware details are expected to be shared before the end of the year or early in 2026.
