No touchscreen or Bluetooth. cool little device though
I own the Mini Zero 28, I personally find I never need a touch screen, the entire interface is geared around using the gamepad (like every other retro handheld), not sure why people freak out because it is Android based but doesn't have a touch screen. I think Magicx should pretend it isn't an Android....then suddenly people would stop complaining. Not like any other comparable device has a touch screen nor needs one.

Lack of bluetooth is a valid concern though.

FWIW, I've bought 5-6 retro handhelds in the last 3 months and the Mini Zero 28 has been the best out of a RG34XXSP, R36H, and Miyoo Mini Plus. All of them ended up on eBay They all have some pluses over the Magicx but for the entire package the Magicx always for the decently powerful chip (for the size) + formfactor + OS not feeling like a graphing calculator

My only complaint is I think the Magicx is far thicker than it needs to be. Feel like they were trying to make it overly rounded but could have shaved off a bit of girth if they made sharper edges. Still uber pocketable but I think they made the right choice (based on the drawings) slimming down the soon to be released One 35. https://shop.magicx.team/products...-touch-one Which BTW does have a touch screen...and will likely cost double.

I also bought a RG406H recently, I also liked the Mini Zero 28 more than that as well (screen size is nowhere near comparable) however I did add a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro to the mix so I could play PS2 and Gamecube games, which of course the Magicx can't. I play the RP4Pro at home and EDC the Mini Zero 28.

P.S. I didn't downvote you....not like it really matters.
