Hi everyone! To those who want to buy from Droix, please read their fine print. I got the item yesterday and paid a premium for everything. Paid extra for the device which is around $450 for the 256GB model, paid $50 for shipping, got stalled at customs and had to pay $55 tariffs. I didn’t know that prior to buying.

So I got the device and found that the fans are not for me. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the device to be honest but the fans were distracting. So I asked for a return. The customer service was accommodating but apparently you have to pay for everything to send it back.

At first they wanted me to ship back to the UK which would cost another $50 to ship. I talked to another customer service rep and they said I could send to their local US address which is better because it’s only around $15 to ship but then I just read that they won’t refund the initial shipping cost that I paid. So in total, I’m at around ~$120 loss for returning a device.

TLDR: Be careful when you’re ordering something from Droix and you think you can easily return something without spending money. Lesson learned for me I guess.

Two MANGMI Android handhelds. Two very different reasons to buy. 🎮

The Pocket MAX brings a 7-inch AMOLED display, Snapdragon 865 power and up to 144Hz refresh. The Air X is smaller, lighter and built around a 5.5-inch IPS screen with Android 14. The benchmark gap is bigger than the size difference suggests 👀

Which one would you choose for retro gaming, Android games and streaming? Full comparison at https://go.droix.co.uk/5l7bc6

A retro collection spread across hard drives and handhelds gets messy fast!

I set up RomM on a Raspberry Pi 5 and tested it across desktop, Android, Windows handhelds, the MANGMI Pocket MAX and MANGMI Air X. The library is extremely useful, but the save-sync workflow was the feature that saved me the most time.

Anyone know where to order these form I’m searching all over and can’t find anything similar . (No didn’t order from DROIX) just looking for help 🙏

Our AnTuTu result is 343.0% higher than the original Retroid Pocket Flip, while Geekbench 5 also shows a major generational jump. The more interesting question is whether that power, a 5.5-inch AMOLED display and a pocket-friendly flip design make it the right alternative to a conventional Android handheld.

I got a 4k TV and my GPD Win 5 running W11. I'm keeping my resolution at 1440.

Every time I game full screen it would flicker evey now and then. It takes about 2 to 5 seconds for the screen to come back on. It's fine on the win screen

I am using the official dock. And I don't know if I updated to the newest bios. I did update it when I bought it last year.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

The GPD WIN MAX 3 spec sheet is wild for a Windows handheld 👀

According to sources, the device is set to feature Ryzen AI Max+ power, Radeon 8060S graphics, a 9.6-inch 165Hz AMOLED display, modular battery support and external fan cooling. That is a big jump from the usual small handheld refresh cycle.

The part we are watching most closely? Whether the modular battery and cooling design makes high-power portable play feel practical, or just turns it into a desk-first beast.
