MagicX One35: The Most Versatile Retro Handheld for Under $100

👉In today’s livestream, Stubbs explores the MagicX One 35, a unique convertible TATE mode Android handheld. This first look review covers a full device overview plus Stubbs’ first 12 hours of hands‑on testing. We put the One35 through a wide range of use cases— Vertical TATE mode, arcade shmups, pinball, vertical DS, and its 3:2 screen with GBA, GBC, PS Vita, PS2, GameCube, 3DS, Android Play Store gaming, 3Dmark benchmarks, and even local Artemis streaming. With a sub‑$100 price tag, the One35 is shaping up to be a surprisingly versatile budget handheld… but it definitely has its quirks. Is this the affordable all‑in‑one device you’ve been waiting for? Specs: The MagicX One 35 is powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, featuring a dual-core Cortex-A75 clocked at 2.0GHz and a hexa-core Cortex-A55 at 1.8GHz, paired with a Mali-G52 MP2 GPU. The device comes with either 3GB or 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 32GB or 64GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot. It sports a 3.5-inch IPS touchscreen with a 960x640 resolution (3:2 aspect ratio) and 700 nits of peak brightness. Running on Android 12, the handheld includes a 4,300 mAh battery, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Physically, it measures 153 x 70 x 19 mm, weighs approximately 189g, and features a unique control layout with a single Hall effect joystick and dual D-pads to support vertical TATE mode gameplay.
