About the brand
Who is Mangmi?
Founded in 2024, Mangmi set out with one goal: premium handheld gaming at a genuinely budget price. Its debut device, the AIR X, delivered exactly that — a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS screen, Hall-effect sticks and triggers, a low-noise cooling fan and a 5000mAh battery, all for less than the price of a second-hand PSP.
Running Android, the AIR X emulates classics beautifully — from 8- and 16-bit systems through to smooth PSP gameplay on a big, sharp screen. DROIX stocks the genuine Mangmi range with a 12-month warranty and enthusiast support across the UK, EU and USA.
