Mangmi is entering the vertical handheld market with its newly announced Air Y series, following the 2025 release of its horizontal Air X and Pocket Max devices. The new Android-based lineup consists of two models: the standard Air Y and the dual-stick Air Y Pro. Both handhelds run on Android and are powered by currently unnamed Qualcomm processors.

The standard Air Y comes in a black finish, featuring a single RGB-backlit joystick positioned below a cross D-pad, Nintendo-layout ABXY buttons, and a front-facing speaker grille. The Air Y Pro arrives in a white and burgundy colorway, dropping the front speaker grille to accommodate dual symmetrical RGB joysticks. This addition makes the Pro model better suited for complex Android titles and modern emulation that require standard twin-stick camera and movement controls.

Both models share a left-side control cluster that includes an orange power button, a scroll wheel, and an unassigned secondary button. The displays feature minimal bezels, though exact panel dimensions are not yet confirmed. The Air Y series represents a direct hardware challenge to other upcoming devices in the increasingly crowded vertical handheld space.

At this stage, Mangmi is withholding several core hardware details; information regarding display resolution, refresh rate, RAM, storage capacity, and battery size remains unavailable. It is also unclear if the Pro model will feature a higher-tier Qualcomm chip than the standard version. Mangmi is expected to reveal full hardware specifications, pricing tiers, and a concrete launch schedule later this month.

Pre-orders for both the Air Y and Air Y Pro are currently slated to open on July 30. In related news, Ayaneo has recently unveiled the Pocket Micro 2 , a retro-inspired handheld gaming device featuring a 3.5-inch LCD display and a 3,950mAh battery.
