MagicX XU10 is a gaming handheld launched in 2023. Powered by RK3326 (4-core, 1.5 GHz), 1 GB RAM. Features a 3.5" IPS LCD display (640 x 480). 3000 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
When it comes to emulation, the XU10 handles 8- and 16-bit systems with ease, along with SNES Super FX titles and 3D PlayStation games at 60 FPS. 2D PSP games are mostly playable, while 3D PSP titles need frameskip, and Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast are mostly playable. The library is broad: Atari, Neo Geo, MAME, Final Burn Neo, MS-DOS, ScummVM, Pico-8, OpenBOR and many more.
The 3.5-inch IPS screen has a 640 x 480 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, a pixel density of around 229 ppi and a 60 Hz refresh rate. It is OCA laminated under tempered glass, and the 4:3 format is a natural fit for classic consoles, without distracting black bars.
Controls include two symmetrically placed thumbsticks with L3/R3, a separated PSP-style D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons and horizontally oriented L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons. There is also a G function button, Reset, Power and dedicated volume buttons. The body is plastic, and cooling is handled by a heatsink and ventilation cutouts. Rumble is not included.
The battery is rated at 3000 mAh, and charging is done via the top-facing USB-C ports, one of which supports OTG. Audio comes from a single front-facing mono speaker, with a side-facing 3.5 mm headphone jack. Storage relies on dual microSD slots.
The console runs Linux, and modding is permitted, so enthusiasts can tailor the software experience to their own preferences.
Ideal for: players looking for an affordable vertical handheld with a 4:3 screen and dual analog sticks for retro emulation up to PlayStation, plus part of the PSP, N64 and Dreamcast libraries.
