👉 Stubbs reviews the MagicX Zero 40 one week after his last video, this time live testing things like Pinball games, more vertical arcade games, removing the MAME overlay, comparing to "similar" handhelds, trying MelonDS with retro achievements, and answering your questions LIVE!

The MagicX Zero 40 is a vertically oriented handheld gaming device featuring a 4.0-inch 800×480 IPS touchscreen, powered by an Allwinner A133P quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with 2GB DDR4 RAM. It runs a 64-bit Android OS with the Dawn Launcher and supports over 30 emulators, including optimized performance for Nintendo DS titles. The device includes 64GB or 128GB of expandable storage, dual-channel stereo speakers, haptic feedback, and a 4,300mAh battery rated for 5–7 hours of use. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.2 and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

This handheld was sent for review from AMPOWN.
